Process monitoring for shipment logistics

BOX ID Software optimizes picking and shipping through real-time monitoring and reduces shipping errors.

The challenge

The provision and dispatch of shipments in manufacturing and wholesale must be highly efficient and error-free. Unfortunately, errors occur frequently in day-to-day operations. Some goods do not arrive at their destination. Returns are often expensive. Millions of shipments are carried out by individual wholesale companies every year. Even commissioning errors of only a few percent can have massive consequences. Avoiding these errors results in significant savings.

The solution: real-time process monitoring with BOX ID

The BOX ID solution addresses the error in the exact moment it occurs. The BOX ID software monitors all ID events in the commissioning and shipment process, compares them in real time with the ERP/EWM target data and blocks process execution if errors occur.

Employees immediately receive direct feedback whether the next step is accurate or incorrect. If an error occurs, processing cannot continue until the error has been corrected. Your process becomes error-proof and zero-error commissioning is standardized in your company.

The respective module of the BOX ID platform provides multiple interfaces and can be connected to every relevant ERP/EWM system (e.g. SAP, SHC). Optical back-of-hand scanners (e.g. by Zebra, Proglove, etc.) are the preferred input devices for event capture, but ID data from RFID portals and other automated reading devices are also transferred to the system.

Your advantages

The commissioning and shipment error rates are significantly reduced (by up to more than 75%). Accordingly, the follow-up costs for shipment errors, in terms of complaints and restocking, are reduced by the same percentage.

The solution includes live reporting that allows you to track the quality of process execution and saved error costs across all your company’s sites.
