MULTI-NODAL SUPPLY CHAIN SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLY CHAIN WORKFLOW EXECUTION USING TRANSPORTABLE AND CONTINUOUSLY TRACKABLE STORAGE BINS

A multi-nodal supply chain system including multiple interconnected entities and a method for executing a supply chain workflow using transportable and continuously trackable, standardized storage bins is provided. The entities include a network of node facilities distributed throughout a geographical region, inter-nodal transport vehicles (INTVs), storage bins storable in indexed storage locations within the node facilities and the INTVs, and a computerized system. The computerized system stores bin identifiers of the storage bins and location identifiers of the indexed storage locations and dynamic storage locations of the storage bins. The computerized system also updates the location identifiers as the storage bins are transferred between the node facilities and the INTVs. The node facilities, the INTVs, and the storage bins, in communication with the computerized system, provide a complete traceability of one or more beaches of inventory items from their input into the supply chain system to fulfillment of orders.
