Each of our distribution centres utilise barcode scanning functionality with warehouse operators using hand-held scanning devices. By harnessing this technology we’re able to read customer’s labels, providing instant visibility of stock and full traceability. Any discrepancies can be identified upon receipt and immediately reported to the customer.
Our online web portal provides customers with a direct interface into our WMS allowing for time-critical dispatch, product quarantine and more.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of documents in a electronic format between partners. In most cases, customers placing orders for transport/warehousing at large volume will prefer to work with an EDI in place to remove manual data entry. Our team of developers can integrate Bowker’s WMS & TMS with any system to ensure seamless two-way communication is in place.
Our customisable reporting suit can be adapted to meet the objectives of very specific customer requirements. From basic reporting such as pick accuracy and OTIF deliveries to multi-layered reporting such as identifying stock by batch, best before dates, part-picked stock and sales by area code.
By introducing cameras on handling equipment, Palletline have enhanced tracking capabilities by using CCTV and barcoding technology.
CCTV Scanning is activated when a pallet is unloaded from the inbound vehicle. The system logs the barcode on the label and books the pallet in at the hub. The CCTV camera records the pallet’s journey from trailer to bay and the process is repeated when the pallet is loaded to the outbound trailer. Every recording is accessible on Palletline’s portal meaning customer queries can be dealt with swiftly.
Each of our drivers are equipped with a smart phone which contains Bowker’s daily vehicle check and defect system app. Before the driver embarks on the their journey, they must complete the vehicle safety check by recording the information on the app. This ensures the vehicle is without defect and compliant.
Tachograph data is gathered on each journey providing; driver behaviour analysis, monitoring fuel consumption, recording green-band driving, exception reporting and identifying any training requirements.
