Returnable Transport Item (RTI)

A Returnable Transport Item (RTI) is a reusable asset used to transport and store goods. Common examples include pallets, roll cages, bins and collapsible crates. RTIs are designed for repeated use and circulate within closed-loop or open-loop supply chains.

Why it matters

Unlike single-use packaging, RTIs:

• Reduce waste and support circular logistics.
• Lower material and packaging costs.
• Improve handling efficiency across supply chains.

Efficient management is essential. Lost or mismanaged RTIs create downtime, increase replacement costs and disrupt circulation.

How CLC supports RTIs

CLC transforms RTIs into connected, data-rich assets. By equipping them with IoT-enabled trackers, companies gain full visibility into location, usage and condition. This ensures:

• Higher RTI availability across all sites.
• Reduced losses and shrinkage.
• Optimized asset circulation for maximum value.
