This study investigates the integration and impact of Real-Time Tracking Systems (RTTS) within the industrial supply chains of Coimbatore, a major manufacturing and textile hub in South India. As global competition necessitates higher operational transparency, RTTS has emerged as a critical technological intervention for monitoring inventory and goods in transit. The research highlights how real-time visibility mitigates delays, reduces manual errors, and facilitates data-driven decision-making. Despite global adoption, empirical evidence regarding the localized effects of RTTS on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in regional clusters remains sparse. This paper addresses that gap by analyzing how these systems influence operational performance, cost optimization, and stakeholder coordination. By evaluating the practical effectiveness and challenges of RTTS, the study provides strategic insights for sustaining regional competitiveness in a technology-driven global market.
