Operational Impact
The implementation of ChainPoint software has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Closing the Loop. The company can now ensure that every new phone is compensated with the collection and recycling of a scrap phone, thereby fulfilling their commitment to offsetting the environmental impact of the telecommunications industry. The software's ability to link all information regarding batches, big bags, containers, and smelters together has ensured full traceability of the supply chain. This has not only improved the company's operational transparency but also enhanced their credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of their customers and stakeholders. Furthermore, the automation of the conversion of phone orders into kilograms of scrap to be collected has simplified the process and reduced the potential for errors. | |
