Pallet carrier responsibility goes beyond the mere movement of goods; it encompasses load optimization, timely deliveries, and everything in between so the logistics process runs smoothly.
The efficiency of carriers revolves around the accuracy of data within the transportation management system (TMS) and the process of handling freight.
In this landscape, Optioryx provides a dimensioning solution that not only performs the fundamental task of accurately measuring the length, width, and height of pallets but also is capable of extending far beyond these essential functions.
The solution is a mobile dimensioning app that acts as a comprehensive information hub, gathering data that can create optimization possibilities for carriers.
From precise dimensional measurements of pallets to the creation of optimal truckload builds, the app encompasses a spectrum of potential improvements.
Quick & Easy Pallet Shipment Cost Calculation
With a way to capture dimensions in a tap, carriers can visualize the quantities of pallets that need to be transported, view the freight layout within the truck, trucks fillrates and, manage the cost of shipping.
Customers can receive immediate quotes, and carriers can expedite their decision-making process, all while streamlining operations.
No more billing disputes between shippers. Provide the bounding box as an evidence of the measured dimensions of the box or a pallet, any debates regarding the size of the shipment can be eliminated.
Capturing Truth: Damage Claims and Quality Control
Capture an image of the items during dimensioning and provide proof that the box or pallet was in a certain condition upon arrival and before transport.
If a shipment arrives at its destination, only to reveal damages that were not present during dispatch such situations can lead to disputes, delays, and dissatisfaction.
Create an undeniable record of the shipment's condition.
Going Green: Paperless Goods Receipt for Speed and Efficiency
Traditionally, the goods receipt process involved piles of paperwork, manual data entry, and the inevitable risk of errors.
Integrate the data from mobile dimensioning apps Web-App to your system to make the transition from paper receipts to paperless seamless.
Logistic Optimization through Truck Load Building
Have the right measurements to automate and optimize the process of loading goods onto trucks.
- Increase fill rates in your vehicles by 10%
- Lower transport costs by ordering the number of trucks you really need
- Cut truck loading time by 30% with assistance during live loading
- Forecast the amount and type of vehicles you'll need # days in advance
By having the pallet dimensional data and constraints (such as stackability & “this side up” info), strategically arrange and load shipments within trucks to maximize cargo capacity, minimize air transported, and, most importantly, reduce the need for multiple trips.
