Aspen Logistics, Inc. Introduces a New Recall Tracking Tool
Salt Lake City, Utah, 10.27.10 – Aspen Logistics tackles the potential threat to customers of a slow or non-compliant product recall response by adding a real-time recall report on MyAspenLive.com. Aspen, who is a third-party logistics (3PL) service supplier, operates the supply chains for many large manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical and pet industries. These industries are susceptible to product recalls and have been placed under scrutiny after a recent rash of tainted products raised calls for an increase in regulations. Aspen created the solution with this issue in mind. It will serve as an instrument to retrieve an accurate, fast, and easily accessible snap-shot essential to a resolution on any materializing recall situation.
The Recall Report is available on the 3PL’s web portal (MyAspenLive.com), which allows it to be run in real-time on any quantity of product. The report, as Aspen puts it, takes a ‘one-stop-shop’ approach at consolidating time-sensitive investigating into a single search. The report filters products according to the company code, SKU, and (optionally) the lot. This offers a customer the ability to view where the questionable product is within their supply chains. If the situation calls for it, the data will be used to quickly pull the inventory before it makes its way to the public.
The solution went live through a beta application a few months ago. After some success with the beta version the solution has been made available to all of those who utilize the MyAspenLive.com customer portal. Aspen expects to see the tool become essential and grow as stiffer regulations are released. Aspen states that with this function there is no longer a need to search through Inbounds, Outbounds, Adjustments, and Inventory separately for recall data.
