Airclic Helps Dock Workers to Efficiently and Accurately Receive, Stage and Load Shipments from Multiple Suppliers at the Same Time
TREVOSE, Pa. --(Business Wire)--
Airclic,
a global provider of cloud-based software that transforms the accuracy,
efficiency and competitiveness of mobile supply chain and logistics
operations, today announced that it has released the latest version of Transport
Perform® (version r12.4), its cloud-based 3PL
transportation solution that improves order accuracy and operational
efficiency. With this release, Airclic has expanded its support for
high-volume cross-docking, allowing dock workers to receive, stage and
load shipments from one or more suppliers in parallel and validate
received items or shipments in real time against Advanced Shipment
Notice data.
Transport Perform is a third-party logistics (3PL) mobile transportation
management product that works with any device or carrier. It has been
designed specifically to improve the efficiency and accuracy of
cross-docking and delivery within a logistics operation by providing
visibility into the mobile supply chain and giving an organization the
features and functionality it needs to enable a more scalable and
reliable workflow. Costly and time-conuming paper-based processing can
be eliminated alongside received versus loaded versus delivered errors,
reducing overall costs and increasing customer confidence that their
shipments have been executed correctly. Transport Perform is intuitive
and easy-to use, ensuring a seamless deployment and rapid ROI, as
customers have reported saving an average of $400 per route, per month.
With Transport Perform r12.4, the full and accurate data required to
process shipments from suppliers is captured, validated and assured from
the first point of contact on the dock. Inbound shipments are validated
in real-time against advanced shipment data (at item level, order level
and supplier container level) and automatically direct the dock worker
to the correct outbound container and route based on shipment details,
such as end destination or customer location. It also boasts highly
configurable workflows to ensure that dock worker activity is based on
the requirements of the original supplier.
"Organizations that have automated their transportation logistics and
delivery systems have improved customer satisfaction while reducing the
cost of doing business," said Pól Sweeney, CTO, Airclic. "Improved
accuracy and better efficiency have increased customer confidence and
given 3PL providers using Transport Perform an advantage over the
competition. The new capabilities announced today will help them
accurately record items received on the dock, staged and loaded all at
the same time, in real-time."
The key features of Transport Perform r12.4 include:
-
A graphical interface for administrators, enabling them to fully setup
and configure workflow forms for dock workers and drivers to ensure
the accuracy of information captured during receiving and staging
-
Data validation and post-processing behavior definition capabilities
-
Customizable Perform Reports designed to support cross-dock receiving
and post-receiving reconciliation with supplier systems based upon the
unique rules of each
-
Allowance for the upload of custom attributes as part of the customer,
depot or supplier location bulk upload process
