About The Customer
Odyssey is a logistics and supply chain management company. The company has been in operation for many years and has grown to love the challenges that come with logistics and supply chain management. The company prides itself on being a problem solver and is not afraid to try new things or fail at them. The company has a highly collaborative and innovative team that is tasked with building strategy and solutions. The company was looking for a business intelligence solution that could help them keep up with competitors and add value for their customers.
The Challenge
Odyssey, a logistics and supply chain management company, was in need of a business intelligence solution that could help them keep up with competitors and add value for their customers. The solution had to be a non-cloud, on-premise solution to allow the company to maintain complete control over the operation. It also needed to be flexible enough to extend into a true 'visibility' platform on the front-end. The company spent almost all of 2016 trying different solutions during the discovery phase of the project, but none of them were the right fit.
The Solution
Odyssey found Qlik, a business intelligence platform that met all their requirements. The platform was straightforward to use and learn. The Qlik Consulting team did the entire installation and completed a lot of consulting work for Odyssey up front. They helped to get data extractions built and trained the Odyssey team well. The implementation of Qlik allowed the Odyssey team to come together and find new, creative solutions that would ultimately help them deepen the relationships between Odyssey and their customers. The greatest result from the new system was visibility.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.
