Smart Tracking Solutions for Used Clothing Recycling Companies

Introduction
For a Used Clothing Recycling Company, AGen tracking solutions help owners to monitor the flow of clothing from collection to sorting, weighing, processing, and distribution/resale. These solutions ensure accountability, inventory accuracy, operational transparency, and often help with sustainability reporting.


Barcode & QR Code Based Tracking
How it works?
Each collection bag, item, or category (e.g., jeans, shirts) is tagged with a barcode or QR code. Workers scan the tags at each stage: collection, weighing, sorting, and storage. System logs quantity (often in kg), source, destination, and processing date.
Tools involved in the solution:
Barcode/QR printers & scanners
AGen Inventory management software with Mobile apps or handheld scanners


Use Case Example:
A worker scans a barcode on a bag of clothes at the donation bin.
When received at the warehouse, the weight is updated.
Later, items are sorted and scanned into specific categories.


Key Benefits of Implementing Tracking:
Operational Efficiency: Optimize collection routes, streamline sorting, reduce manual data entry, improve warehouse management.
Transparency & Traceability: Prove a chain of custody to donors, partners, and regulators. Show the journey of donations.
Accurate Reporting: Quantify environmental impact (landfill diversion, CO2 savings), social impact, and financial performance reliably.
Improved Decision Making: Data-driven insights to optimize sorting processes, pricing, partnerships, and resource allocation.
Cost Reduction: Identify inefficiencies, reduce loss, optimize logistics.
Donor/Stakeholder Trust: Demonstrate accountability and impact.
Compliance: Meet reporting requirements for grants, certifications, or regulations.
