OAT is the leading provider of integrated EPC software solutions for the High-Resolution Supply Chain™.

OATSystems, Inc. is the leading provider of EPC software solutions for the High-Resolution Supply Chain™. By capturing, managing, and distributing EPC information, OAT empowers an enterprise – for the first time – to manage and optimize manufacturing and distribution operations based on a high resolution view of product movement within the supply chain.

The Problem Today

There remains enormous waste and inefficiency in today’s supply chain – despite the substantial advances in supply chain management over the last decade. Why? Because businesses are fundamentally limited by the quality of the information collected within the supply chain. These data are inaccurate, old, and imprecise. Even the world’s most efficient businesses track product movement in low resolution.

High-Resolution Supply Chain

There is a common vision that is driving the world’s largest retail, defense, CPG, and pharmaceutical companies to broadly deploy EPC technology: the ability to automatically identify, track, and share in real time, the movement of individual products across the supply chain.

The OAT Suite

The OAT Suite turns raw EPC data into a high resolution view of product movement across an enterprise’s extended supply chain. The OAT Suite, consisting of OAT EPC-IS Edge Server and the OAT EPC-IS Enterprise, is the world’s leading integrated solution for an enterprise’s EPC system of record, from which existing applications (e.g., ERP) and trading partners can leverage an enterprise’s high-resolution supply chain information.

OAT is an industrial-strength solution capable of powering EPC networks throughout the supply chain – on manufacturing lines, within large-scale distribution centers, and inside retail stores. First released in 2001, OAT is the most widely deployed integrated EPC software solution in the world.
