TraceLink, recognized as the world’s largest Agentic Business Network, has been named among the Top 100 Logistics & Supply Chain Technology Providers for 2026 by Inbound Logistics. The recognition highlights TraceLink’s innovative Integrate-Once orchestration technology, which connects over 315,000 verified enterprises through a shared digital ecosystem. This network supports real-time collaboration across logistics, transportation, and inventory operations within global healthcare and life sciences supply chains.

Each year, the Inbound Logistics Top 100 list honors technology companies that help businesses enhance operational efficiency, build stronger and more resilient supply chains, and adapt quickly to changing market and regulatory demands.

According to Shabbir Dahod, supply chains are evolving from disconnected and manual workflows into intelligent, real-time multienterprise ecosystems powered by agentic control towers and interconnected partner networks. He noted that TraceLink MINT, together with the recently introduced OPUS Agents, provides the digital infrastructure required for this transformation by enabling organizations to share data and coordinate actions across partners, laying the groundwork for secure and governed agentic operations.

Strengthening Global Logistics Collaboration
TraceLink’s Multienterprise Information Network Tower (MINT) for Logistics helps organizations eliminate inefficient communication methods such as spreadsheets, emails, isolated portals, and custom integrations. Instead, it offers a unified network that supports synchronized, real-time logistics coordination among supply chain participants. The platform currently connects more than 315,000 trading partners, enabling transparent visibility into shipment activity, inventory movement, and transaction workflows throughout global healthcare supply chains. Importantly, businesses can integrate into the network without replacing their existing enterprise systems.

Driving Tangible Operational Improvements
Organizations using TraceLink to modernize logistics coordination across partner networks have reported significant performance gains, including:

The TraceLink network currently handles nearly 300,000 supply chain transactions daily, helping businesses monitor logistics, manufacturing, transportation, and commercial operations in real time while responding more effectively to disruptions and supply chain risks.

Advancing Intelligent, Agent-Driven Supply Chains
TraceLink is also continuing to expand its innovation efforts through OPUS Agents—no-code, governed AI agents designed to operate within defined permissions and controls. Powered by the OPUS platform’s real-time multienterprise data environment, these agents can identify potential disruptions earlier, coordinate corrective actions across supply chain partners, and automate routine operational tasks such as status updates and exception management while maintaining full transparency and auditability.

For logistics organizations, where reliable and timely product delivery is critical, this move toward agentic execution improves agility, enhances resilience, and supports the uninterrupted delivery of medicines to patients worldwide.

GP PRO, a division of Georgia-Pacific known for its cutting-edge dispensing and smart monitoring technologies, is once again elevating the standard for intelligent restroom systems with the latest updates to its IoT-enabled KOLO Smart Monitoring System. The new KOLO System 2.0 introduces upgraded hardware, software and network capabilities, enabling faster deployment and delivering deeper, more actionable insights that help facilities improve productivity and sustainability.

“Our newest KOLO enhancements take smart restroom management to the next level by creating more efficient and intuitive workflows for custodial teams,” said John Strom, vice president and general manager of Innovation at GP PRO.

“With smoother navigation, more insightful analytics and a faster, more secure infrastructure, these advancements highlight our dedication to innovation and our ability to help customers realize value more quickly.”

Enhanced Usability, Performance and Operational Ease
KOLO System 2.0 features a streamlined hardware design that simplifies installation and speeds up implementation. The system is powered by MachineQ, a Comcast Company, which provides its upgraded Area 8c Gateway offering flexible mounting and power configurations to minimize installation challenges. These gateways deliver secure, enterprise-level connectivity and allow KOLO technology to work seamlessly across large, high-demand facilities—collecting data on usage, battery status and other critical metrics from GP PRO dispensers. Leveraging long-range LoRaWAN technology, a single Area 8c Gateway can link up to 10,000 devices.

By refining the KOLO System 2.0 architecture and eliminating the need for “collectors,” the number of battery-powered devices has been reduced by as much as 20%. This cuts battery usage, decreases operational costs, eases device management and supports sustainability goals. Security is also strengthened through end-to-end encryption and mutual authentication via LoRaWAN connectivity.

In addition, KOLO sensors are now compatible with more GP PRO dispensers—including towel, tissue, soap and sanitizer models—expanding smart monitoring coverage. Task management has been improved with a clearer interface featuring universally understood icons to support communication across multilingual teams. Self-service analytics allow custodial staff and facility leaders to conduct their own data reviews while still having access to GP PRO customer success experts for support. Enhanced APIs also make integrating KOLO data into existing facility workflows even easier.

KOLO System: Setting a New Standard in Data-Driven Facility Care
The KOLO Smart Monitoring System is widely used in high-traffic settings such as stadiums, arenas, airports, office buildings, restaurants, manufacturing facilities and university campuses. Real-time notifications delivered directly to mobile devices help maintenance teams prevent outages, reduce waste and deploy labor more efficiently. Currently, 99.5% of KOLO-enabled GP PRO dispensers remain fully stocked at all times. Unnecessary checks are reduced by 95%, while cost savings and sustainability benefits are amplified thanks to improved product usage and near-zero waste.

At Sage Realty, a Manhattan-based owner and operator of Class-A office properties, KOLO plays a key role in supporting a superior tenant experience. “KOLO operates quietly in the background while driving the operational excellence our tenants expect,” said Alec Fomin, director of tenant experience at Sage Realty.

GP PRO to Highlight New Innovations at ISSA and BSCAI
During the ISSA Show in Las Vegas (Nov. 11–13), GP PRO will showcase updates to KOLO System 2.0, its Premium Restroom Collection and a variety of other maintenance solutions designed to simplify and elevate facility care. The Dixie Ultra SmartStock Mini Tri-Tower Cutlery Station—an ISSA Innovation Award nominee—will also be featured.

Additionally, the KOLO team will present a Coffee Talk session at the BSCAI Contracting Success Conference on Thursday, Nov. 13, from 8:00–8:45 a.m., titled “Transforming Facility Management: The BSC Partnership Pathway Program and KOLO System.”
