Services and capabilities
Cairnstack focuses on track-and-trace technologies, application augmentation, integrations, and enterprise application rollouts.
Track and trace
In most cases, augmentation of current systems provides more value and is less invasive to users and existing systems than looking for a single solution.
From a ground-up application build to adding functionality to an existing platform, or rebooting a shelved RFID or IoT hardware integration project, Cairnstack process engineers help teams work through systems to reach goals in less time and for less overall investment.
Use case specific platforms
Cairnstack believes each business system employed in an organization should be focused on the best practices for that workflow or desired outcome. For example, even though a customer name is common to sales and accounting efforts, both systems have very different definitions of success.
Cairnstack offers applications that are designed from the ground up to be a team player. Solid APIs, state-of-the-art security, and data retention policies help ensure accuracy even when integration requirements change.
Reasons to begin a conversation
We'll help your teams become better custodians of your brand. We'll provide better information on product movements that affect your bottom line, bridge gaps in supply chains to collect data about your products even when they are out of your custody or control, add passive tracking tools to products for pennies that work both in and beyond your warehouses, and gain insights into the full life-cycle of your products.
Once a product leaves your facility, you have often lost the ability to learn how it is used or where it goes. Using Cairnstack-developed tools, businesses worldwide have increased their knowledge of maintenance schedules, ownership changes, as well as full life-cycles of products at scale.
Product divergence is a dangerous liability for all companies. It only takes a few poorly executed copies of one of your products in the hands of the right people to destroy a brand.
The customer got a deal, but it broke. Now it is back at your door and it becomes your problem. Where do you draw the line? What is your brand's promise and what is it worth in their minds?
"Just-in-time" inventory is still holding inventory. Once an item is in your custody, whether for an hour or a year before delivery, a lot can happen during the time inventory is in custody.
If something is not right or a situation changes, knowing exactly what you have and how it can be utilized is the key to happy customers and long term success.

Capabilities
Cairnstack works across enterprise engagements, authentication and hosted applications, and branded applications.
Cairnstack developers focus on the user experience and scalability of platforms to provide management with better data to make better decisions, all while not bogging down field personnel.
Enterprise engagements require knowledge of systems, but the tact to handle kickbacks from teams that may be asked to be held to standards that exceed their current abilities. Change is hard - Cairnstack eases the transfer of knowledge from team to team better.
Existing infrastructure is often too rigid in its design to add additional scope to collect the information an organization needs to be ahead of the curve.
IoT devices or commercially available mobile devices with constantly evolving operating systems can introduce unintended consequences to legacy systems when directly connected.
Hosted applications can provide a firewall for applications to be tested and verified before accurate, contextual data enters legacy systems.
Have an idea for an application, but do not want to spend the resources or time to worry about access management, customer data separation, or all the underlying functions required to make the idea scalable?
Cairnstack can assist in developing the idea, then once it is ready, host the application while the team focuses on selling the app.
Need a HIPAA-compliant infrastructure? Cairnstack has that available as well.
Existing hardware
Want to reboot a tracking project that uses barcodes, QR codes, serialized optical identifications, RFID hardware, or existing tags? Cairnstack can help use existing tag and reader infrastructure to collect usable information within applications or as a link into existing platforms.
Integrations
Elevate capabilities without extensive system overhauls or coordinating with multiple divisions. By utilizing existing hardware, teams can gather crucial data regarding product movement, usage, and location.
Teams can gather crucial data regarding product movement, usage, and location.
The insights gained from this expanded data collection process offer a deeper understanding of customers' needs and preferences.
By fine-tuning products and services based on this valuable information, teams can better meet the demands of a target audience. This strategic use of data can ultimately lead to improved customer retention and a stronger market presence.
