Menasha Services, a division of Menasha Material Handling Corporation, is a logistics and material handling services company that specializes in the implementation of custom returnable packaging solutions. They add value to supply chains through the introduction and management of returnable packaging.

Menasha Services specializes in container fleet management and asset tracking by means of its Smart TrakTM technology:

Smart TrakTM merges the worlds of returnable packaging and technology. All returnable packaging can be made "smart" simply by adding a small data storage chip or bar code label. With the hand-held computer/scanner, a plant not only tracks the returnable packaging, but also the parts moving through the supply chain.

Smart TrakTM allows for accurate reporting of packaging that is shipped and returned from every supplier in the supply chain. The system can reconcile the packaging being returned from a different supplier than to whom it was originally shipped.

Smart TrakTM monitors material that is shipped out for sub-assembly work. It is completely compatible with EDI and Internet interfaces, allowing the plant to receive returnable packaging inventory reports, read bar codes, or read and write to data storage chips.
