The transition from production management system in the early days to SCM today in logistics is mostly attributed to IT. In terms of WMS, from the initial production management system to the current system, massive amounts of IT have been applied to its use. Hence, this thesis presents a new type of logistics tracking and inventory management system that is able to track back the location of each commodity applying IoT (Internet of Things), known to be a current trend of IT, to utilize location-based information.
