Optimizing The Good Dispatch Process
- Schedule times in conjunction with the transportation service
- Goods dispatch planning can be made more precise with the help of warehouse management software that can control and organize a vast amount of information and guide the team of workers in carrying out the related tasks.
- A warehouse management system can group orders by: delivery route, vehicle type, customer, and shipping priority, among other categories. These parameters can be configured into the software according to the company’s inventory characteristics.
- Standardize and simplify document management
- Document verification and management is one of the most important steps in the dispatch process. The main objective is to have zero errors, which is fostered by:
- Integration of the warehouse’s labelling and documentation rules with those of the transporters: this perfectly streamlines the process and facilitates data processing.
- Use of the WMS with automatic assistive devices: voice picking, for example, would enable operators to load pallets and boxes with both hands and validate packages more quickly.
- Assess automation options in the goods dispatch process
- Shipments can be automated with the help of conveyors in the temporary storage or preload area.
- To streamline the loading of trucks with pallets, it is common to install live roller conveyors.
- These types of conveyors have brake rollers that maintain a constant sliding speed to ensure load stability.
