Seal Your Containers with these Best Practices

Seal Your Containers with these Best Practices | LoadProof

This best practice is about applying the seal especially when it is a FTL’s shipment. FTL a full truck load container shipment trailer that’s going from point A to point B.

It’s important to apply the seal and the seal number, and take the picture of that seal number and upload it to LoadProof so in case if you are a recipient or if you are a shipper you can see the photograph. If you’re a recipient you can ask the person on the origin side and say “hey give me this photograph”, or if you’re shipping you can take the picture of the seal number and say “hey look at it we did everything, we locked this thing perfectly and we applied a seal and here is the know picture of the seal and there is a seal number on it.

This is very common in international shipments, in the international containers because it’s one big container going from point A to point B. You can do that and also this is something interesting that I’ve observed, if the shipment is coming from international locations such as Thailand, China, Indonesia, even India wherever it’s coming from it’s all stacked in the form of boxes. They don’t ship as pallets because they have a lot of Labor and they can do the stacking of these boxes and fully load the container in a cost-effective manner because labor is cheap there.

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 trigger a repleni

How to Eliminate Warehouse Chargebacks? | LoadProof

This is another interesting dynamic on LoadProof. The managers that we talked to, they hear about our product and “they’re like wow this is great, want to take advantage of this product in my distribution center or warehouse. They join the demo and one of the things we ask is how much is their chargeback . At the time they don’t know it’s just sometimes fascinating to see this dynamic. The organizations that have been operating all along they’re so siloed. They’ve so siloed and this warehouse manager, he’s operating a pretty good-sized facility. It was like 400K plus a squad for DC shipping, a lot of orders. This gentleman didn’t know about the chargebacks because it’s just that’s how they’ve been operating all along. The chargeback was something that was with the finance department, I mean obviously retailers when they pay the invoices they don’t pay the full invoice, they automatically take a portion of that because of these damages or this chargeback situation. It took awhile fo

The Best Practices in Designing UI/UX of the Warehouse Management App | LoadProof

This best practice is about the importance of UI (User Interface) in improving the distribution center productivity. In this day and age where Apple and Android have completely changed the user experience that is so easy to understand and use the app. Particularly in the distribution center the time is spent significantly on training the end users. I’ve seen many distribution centers that are literally revolving doors, where personnel come and go. All these personnel go through training for days or weeks to understand and to improve their proficiency in their work. If 50 percent of the employees leave after getting trained that’s still a lot of time wasted. Then that’s also a lot of dollars spent on the training time. These kind of training scenarios could be significantly reduced if you choose a tool with a very good UI. The mobile technology is evolving and at the same time it is very important to choose the tools with the best UI because that will not only reduce your training t
