Solid's take on innovation and traceability

In temperature-controlled transport, simply detecting an incident is no longer enough. The challenge is to link each temperature-related event to the relevant logistics units, enabling targeted, rapid, and well-documented quality decisions.

In B2B software, user experience is often pushed to the back burner, taking a back seat to functionality or technical performance. This is a strategic mistake. Good UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) design doesn’t just make a solution more attractive—it makes it more effective, easier to adopt, and more profitable for the company using it. At Solid, we’ve been developing traceability solutions for several years, and we’ve proven this time and again.

At major watchmaking events such as Watches and Wonders in Geneva, managing high-value items becomes a strategic challenge. Between security, operational fluidity, and the demand for excellence, companies can no longer rely on manual methods. Thanks to traceability and technologies such as RFID, each item movement can be identified, time-stamped, and analyzed in real time. The result: faster inventory management, better visibility of flows, clearly assigned responsibility, and a smoother customer experience. Beyond security, this data also provides a new decision-making tool for understanding the dynamics of an event and optimizing future organization. In watchmaking and fine jewelry, traceability is now an essential infrastructure for securing operations and transforming logistics into a true strategic lever.

In the field, traceability is not just a matter of ERP or WMS systems. It is primarily a matter of where assets are handled, moved, stored, and controlled. And in this specific area, one thing is often lacking: visible, up-to-date, and immediately actionable information. This is exactly what smart electronic labels do: they replace paper labels (which are often out of date) with a robust, readable, and synchronized digital interface. The goal is not to "digitize for the sake of digitizing," but to reduce discrepancies, limit errors, and make traceability more fluid on a daily basis.

Founded in 1998 to meet the growing demand for printing hardware and consumables, Solid Solutions has continually reinvented itself. In twenty-seven years, the company has gone from being an IT supplier to a key player in traceability and operational optimization, developing software solutions that integrate IoT identification technologies (RFID, NFC, BLE) and blockchain tools. We meet with Frédéric Alimi, CEO, and François Schmitt, Sales Director, who talk to us about a quiet revolution led by Solid.

Industrial traceability can no longer be categorized as "secondary" in the order of business priorities. It is becoming a strategic management lever that is essential to the smooth running of operations. In a high-pressure environment, the ability to capture, structure, and exploit data in real time has become a key performance factor.

RFID systems have become widely popular, not only with private individuals, but also with factories and industries of all kinds. Allowing data to be communicated remotely, this innovative technology is revolutionizing many sectors! But what does this sometimes mysterious acronym stand for? What is RFID technology? What are its strengths, and how can you make the most of it? Sit back and let our experts tell you all about it!

In the world of luxury goods, "fake returns"—where original products are replaced with counterfeits when returned by customers—are a growing threat. To combat this fraud, Solid offers an innovative authentication solution using unique visual fingerprints. In this article, find out what this technology involves.
