Picture Documentation for Freight Claims White Paper – Part III | LoadProof

 

LoadProof – Enterprise wide Rollout

INTRODUCTION

This document describes the following,

  1. Provides high level guidelines to deploy Loadproof enterprise-wide involving 2 or more distribution centers producing the most dollar savings for warehouse managers that own the sites.
  2. Best practices to follow while deploying Loadproof across 2 or more sites in an enterprise-wide fashion.
  3. Also build momentum within the enterprise among the warehouse general managers, so Loadproof is deployed swiftly producing the maximum dollar savings enterprise-wide quickly.
  4. Any tool if not implemented correctly and accurately will not produce the desired results. So it is very important that the implementation effort is as great as the tool in order to maximize the gains from the tool such as LoadProof enterprise-wide.
  5. This document describes the implementation of an effective Picture Documentation system in an enterprise. If you review the “Pictures for Freight Claims – White Paper – Part1” , “Pictures for Freight Claims – White Paper – Part2”and then review this current document, you will get much more value out of this exercise to understand the Picture Documentation System thoroughly. However, it is okay to review this current document by itself as well.

Background

LoadProof is a photo documentation SAAS solution that allows any warehouse manager to develop a catalog of easily searchable photos with contextual data that helps warehouses, manufacturers, shippers and suppliers reduce claims, chargebacks and also get Freight Claims processed faster. While it is a much simple project to turn on Loadproof for one or two sites, whereas rolling out LoadProof in a larger enterprise involving 2 or more sites is a different ball game that needs to be approached differently with appropriate sponsorship and evangelizing for a broader acceptance realizing the most cost savings for the whole enterprise.

Establish a LoadProof Deployment Project

1. It is important to establish a LoadProof deployment project with a dedicated project manager within your Enterprise to successfully carry out the deployment of the LoadProof tool in all your sites. 

2. And this project manager gets all the resources, staffing, support, sponsorship and everything else like all other projects that are executed within the enterprise 

3. And this project manager is held accountable for LoadProof deployment in all the sites within the enterprise and the associated cost savings that the Loadproof tool provides.

 4. And this project is managed, monitored and executed like any other project within the enterprise with weekly status calls and other associated activities. 

5. The Project Manager provides a clear project plan for the rollout and executes to that plan like any other project following the project execution methodologies publishing appropriate status reports to the key stake holders, site managers, project sponsors, steering committee etc.

Optimize Your Warehouse Replenishments with these Best Practices | LoadProof

  This best practice is about making  replenishments  inside the warehouse. It is important to stay on the top off replenishments always in your warehouse. If you have just one shift that you are running it would help a lot. If you spend extra hours in the evening and then do the topping off all your active locations it will be helpful for the pickers in the next shift. In the next morning when the pickers come after all the locations will be full and they can start picking right away without wasting time in replenishments. If you have two shifts running either choose the second shift or have a third shift if possible and keep doing the top off replenishments. There are active replenishment locations and these active locations have Min and Max. Whenever your inventory falls below min, replenishments are going to get triggered or it will get triggered if there is an order that needs a lot of picks from a particular location. This will drive the location down which will tri...

3PL Panacea: The Flexible Mobile Supply Chain Platform | LoadProof

  The third-party logistics (3PL) business is tough, because it covers a wide gamut of service offerings, that include some combination of: Just move my boxes and/or pallets. Move my boxes and/or pallets and store them in your warehouse. Move my boxes and/or pallets and operate my facility. Own all the labor and activities in my facility. Offer all distribution services for my product (All I will do is download my orders into your system/supply chain). I’ve even run into more complicated models of operation, including both tightly and loosely coupled models.  In a tightly-coupled model, the supply chain systems of the 3PL, including orders, inventory, transportation, advanced shipment notices, purchase orders, and more, are tightly integrated into the shipper’s supply chain systems. All this information seamlessly flows between both supply chain systems of the 3PL and the shipper. They stay in synch with each other and the parties perform the functions in their respective syst...
