Depot Operations

TransLogix Depot Operation solutions are integrated with the Transport Management Solution and can be deployed as a stand alone or enterprise wide system.

Depot Scanning and Item Level Tracking

TransLogix have developed a sophisticated solution to track all freight at the item level as it moves from the collection through various depots to the end destination. It's designed to reduce administrative overheads through consolidated updates at higher levels, but also so that any individual item can be managed and tracked with a simple scan.

The solution includes easy to use software running on standard hand held RF devices for depot staff to record all movements in real time. When a truck arrives at the depot a single scan (or crossing of a geofence) will update the entire load. Depot staff can then scan freight in to and out of locations as they pack and unpack loads. All these movements are recorded in real time with date stamps which can be used for costing, analysis and invoicing.

Splitting of consignments over multiple trailers and vehicles is supported without the need for any back office staff adjusting consignment details in the computer as each individual item is tracked independently. Items found in locations they shouldn't are simply scanned by the operator, updating their actual location and status. Logic checks on the device ensure that depot staff are warned or blocked from placing a Perth bound item on a Sydney bound trailer and prevented from loading and mixing Hazardous goods that could breach regulations.

This solution captures all the detailed data to enable organisations to comply with most complex and detailed Customer SLAs and KPIs.
