We’ve all been there: A valuable piece of machinery breaks down and is sent out for repair. Six months later, you buy a new one because everyone forgot the original was ever sent out. This is the “Black Hole” of Returnable Gate Passes (RGP).
The Cost of Forgetfulness
In busy facilities, materials constantly leave the premises for job work, calibration, or repair. Without a strict digital tracking system, these items often vanish. Manual logbooks don’t send you reminders when an item is overdue for return.
Closing the Loop
A dedicated Material Management module solves this by enforcing a “Return By” date.
Alerts & Reminders:
The system automatically notifies store managers when an item hasn’t returned on time.
Vendor Accountability:
You have irrefutable proof of what was sent, to whom, and when.
Approval Hierarchies:
Ensure that expensive assets don’t leave the gate without digital authorization from a manager.
Non-Returnable Items (NRGP
The system also handles waste disposal or scrap sales (NRGP),ensuring that what leaves your facility is authorized and properly weighed, preventing theft and leakage.
Conclusion
Stop repurchasing items you already own. Digital RGP management plugs the leaks in your inventory and ensures 100% accountability for every bolt, laptop, or motor that crosses your threshold.
