What is A2B Tracking?

A2B Tracking refers to the UC! Web™ software platform, a cloud-based Government Property Management system. It is designed to help organizations pass DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) audits by providing a complete audit trail of every asset they own or manage. The system integrates advanced RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and barcode scanning to locate items within seconds, rather than hours, ensuring 99% inventory accuracy.

The interface is a professional business tool used by logistics managers and compliance officers. It automatically exchanges data with federal databases like PIEE (Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment), the GFP Module, and the IUID Registry. This ensures that when a defense contractor builds or repairs equipment for the military, the government knows exactly where that equipment is, what condition it is in, and who has custody of it at all times.

A2B Tracking “Numbers” (Asset IDs)

In the context of A2B Tracking, you do not use a standard “shipping tracking number.” Instead, the system tracks assets using Unique Item Identifiers (UIIs) or Asset Tags. These are permanent labels attached to equipment:

IUID (Item Unique Identification): A globally unique data matrix barcode mandated by the DoD for all military equipment. It stays with the item for its entire life.
RFID Tag ID: A unique electronic signal broadcast by a tag, allowing items to be tracked wirelessly without direct line-of-sight.
Serial Number: The manufacturer’s unique number for a specific part or unit.

A2B Tracking Number Formats

Identifying the correct format is essential for users of the UC! Web™ system. These IDs follow strict military standards (MIL-STD-130):

IUID Construct 1: Contains the Enterprise Identifier + Serial Number.
IUID Construct 2: Contains the Enterprise Identifier + Part Number + Serial Number.
Format Example: A 2D Data Matrix barcode that scans into a string like [)>0625S1234567890123456… (These are not typed into a public tracker; they are scanned by industrial readers).

How to Use the A2B Tracking Tool?

A2B Tracking is a secure, subscription-based system. It is not open to the public. If you are a Property Manager using this system, the process is:

Login: Access the secure UC! Web™ portal via your organization’s credentials.
Scan/Enter ID: Use a connected Zebra RFID sled or barcode scanner to scan the asset’s IUID tag.
Search: Alternatively, type the Asset ID or Serial Number into the inventory search bar within the dashboard to see its location, condition, and custody history.

Asset Journey and Status Meanings

Statuses in A2B Tracking refer to the lifecycle of an item, not its shipping status. Common statuses in the software include:

Status	What It Means
Acquisition	The asset has been purchased or received and entered into the inventory system.
Custody / Assigned	The asset is currently assigned to a specific person, department, or location (e.g., “Assigned to Sgt. Smith”).
In Transit	The asset is being moved between facilities (e.g., shipped from a contractor to a military base).
Maintenance / Repair	The item is currently in a workshop for repairs and is unavailable for use.
Consumed	The item has been used up or expended (common for consumable inventory).
Disposed / Retired	The asset has reached the end of its life and has been formally removed from the registry.

About A2B Tracking Solutions

Founded in 1994, A2B Tracking has been a pioneer in the barcode and RFID industry. The company played a significant role in helping the U.S. Department of Defense formulate its IUID policy, which requires all military assets to have a permanent, scannable “license plate.” A2B Tracking provides not just the software, but also the physical labels, scanners, and professional services needed to implement these systems.

A2B Tracking is a certified Zebra Technologies Partner and specializes in integrating Zebra’s rugged mobile computers and RFID readers with their cloud software. They serve a wide range of industries but are most famous for their work with Aerospace, Defense Contractors, and Federal Agencies. Their goal is to eliminate the manual “clipboard and pencil” method of inventory, replacing it with automated digital scanning that saves thousands of man-hours and ensures federal compliance.
