eSeal® Technology consists of identity, mobility and social components that are controlled by cloud-based software. eSeal® Technology enables the following: 1.       Automation: Automates the stock handling from packaging to point-of-sale completely thereby reducing human intervention and labor costs. 2.       Speed: Increases the speed at which the stock travels from packaging to point-of-sale through reducing the time to enumerate, lade, receive, stow, fetch and issue at all the stock handling points. 3.       Accuracy: Provides the visibility to the primary item level with an unique identity through out the supply chain thereby improving stock visibility and reducing shrinkage, misplacements and other losses. 4.       Traceability: Enables tracing of every primary pack in real-time that move through the supply chain with location, timestamp, action etc. thereby enabling reverse logistics, quality improvement and vendor claims. eSeal® Analytics enables the following: 1.       Demand forecast by SKU, Depot, Distributor, Time and Region 2.       Safety Stock recommendations by SKU, Depot and Time 3.       Shrinkage Prediction by SKU, Depot and Time 4.       Quality Analysis by Component, SKU, Batch, Vendor and Time 5.       TBD eSeal® Supply Chain Optimization is achieved through the following: 1.       Reduced Inventory:  Reduce the inventory and safety stock levels through a) improving the speed and accuracy of stock flow and b) analytics input of what to carry, where and when. Could reduce the Days In Inventory (DII) up to 20%. 2.       Increased Availability: Increase the availability for sales through a) improving the speed and accuracy of stock flow and b) analytics input of what to carry, where and when. Could reduce the Sales up to 5%. 3.       Reduced Shrinkage: Reduce the inventory shrinkage due to obsolescence, theft, damages and misplacements through a) automated receiving, stowing, fetching and issuance at the primary pack level and b) analytics input of predictive shrinkage by SKU, Time and Depot. Could reduce the DII up to 5%. 4.       Reduced Counterfeiting: Reduce contamination of supply chain with counterfeited products through automation, accuracy and traceability of products at primary pack level. Could increase the sales up to 5%. o    Reduced Transit Losses: Reduce unaccounted damages, theft and contamination of stock in transit through automation, accuracy and traceability of products at primary pack level. Could reduce the DII up to 2%. 6.       Reduced False Returns: Reduce false claims such as expired, missing and misplaced goods at point-of-sale through accuracy and traceability of products at primary pack level. Could reduce the inventory costs up to 1%. 7.       Reduced Warranty Costs: Enable vendor claims through a) accuracy and traceability of products at primary pack level and b) analytics input of quality by Component, SKU, Batch, Vendor and Time. Could reduce the inventory costs up to 1%. 8.       Reduced Labor Costs: Reduce labor costs involved with enumerate, lade, receive, stow, fetch and issue at all the stock handling points through automation. Could reduce the distribution costs up to 5%. 9.       Increased Territorial Integrity: Reduce channel partner displeasure by arresting territorial integrity violations through traceability of stock at primary pack level. Could increase the sales by 5% in certain markets. 10.    Reduced Production Costs: Optimize production through real-time view of production and packaging with automation and accuracy. Could reduce the production cost by 2%.
