Demo at WIMA: In companies that are engaged in wholesale of drinks and also of some other products, picking up returnable packaging was pretty big problem without any real solution. The returnable packaging is unavoidable element of process in this business. Its value represents 30% of revenue. These transactions have no added value (margin). Process of ordering, issuing and invoicing in these companies is completely automated and partly paperless. The problem occurs at picking up returnable packaging. We can not foresee the quantity of returned packaging. The NFC phone is ideal solution of this problem. It practically does not represent any additional cost for the company and at the same time it elegantly solves even this part of the problem. Our solution is based on Nokia 6131NFC phone.
