Purpose
Within CartonCloud you have the ability of using the warehouse management and transport management system in conjunction to create an optimised packing and shipping process. Utilising the Mobile Pack Screen from the transport management system allows warehouse staff on the floor to be able to enter the shipping quantity, weights and dimensions into the mobile app at the time of pick and pack. In addition, they can automatically print the CartonCloud transport label (and if using an external carrier, print their label) and place on the carton at the time of packing.
Benefits
- Saves time
- Improves dispatch accuracy by removing manual processes
- Streamlines the dispatch process
- Makes the integration into external carriers more efficient
