The need
Profiles are long, bundles are heavy, and different colours and lengths of the same section sit side by side. Putting a bundle on the wrong truck during loading is an expensive mistake to undo.
The solution
Orders are picked with Nitrogen PDA and trucks are loaded per order and vehicle on handhelds. A bundle that isn't scanned or belongs to another order can't be added to the load; the dispatch note is ready when loading ends.
The results
- Barcode checks stop bundles going on the wrong truck
- Dispatch notes are ready when loading ends
- Shipping status is visible at HQ in real time
