Abstract

A method and system (100) for managing both bulk and non-bulk material and assets using radio frequency (RF) identification devices. In particular, the process manages items shipped from businesses and third parties to customers. The system includes an electronic asset identification device such as RFID tag (212), a central data repository (216), and a mobile computing environment. Personnel may access the system via the Internet and thus determine shipment status.
