RFXCEL: Global Footprint in Innovative Supply Chain Management

CIO Vendor India has evolved as an attractive destination for doing business through the increasing presence of top brands from various industrial sectors like Pharma/Life Sciences, Food & Beverage and CPG. The country has a complete eco-system of supply-chain entities that include manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers, pack-agers, 3PLs, retailers and a huge consumer base. Consumers today expect granular end-to-end traceability at each node along with the ability to monitor and have real time visibility of the entire events in the supply line. A wide gap in the ability of service providers for providing full stack end-to-end services has been noticed.

supply-chain process across industry segments became paramount".

The Journey
RFXCEL was founded in 2003 with a motive of addressing pharma safety concerns and improving track and trace in supply chain that will subsequently make the compliance faster and easier. Vikash adds, "We became part of Antares Vision Group (publicly traded company in Italy with 800+ employee count world-wide) in 2021 and became the only vendor to provide full stack traceability and supply-chain visibility platform from both HW and SW perspectives across verticals like pharma/life sciences, F&B and CPG.
