5 reasons why you should switch from using your digital camera right now | LoadProof

 


Are you still using digital cameras to capture and store photos of your shipments and other processes in your warehouse? 

If the answer is “yes”, then there is a better way. Initially, you may not think it’s much to address, but when you think about how many photos are taken each day in your warehouse then there is a lot of time and money that can be saved by switching to a more efficient photo process. 

Using digital cameras to capture photos, and PC’s to store the photos of the loads taken during shipment might result in issues such as: 

  1. Slow uploading - your camera likely requires a hardwire plug-in through USB.
  2. Time-consuming photo tagging - adding reference numbers or labels.
  3. Slow retrieval of photos - photos are often hard to search and locate.
  4. Sharing photos manually - manually attaching JPEG files to email.
  5. Accountability - there is no accountability as you don’t know who worked on the shipment.

With an efficient photo documentation system will include:

  1. Fast uploading - Cloud-based uploading with no requirement for a hardwire plug-in.
  2. Fast photo tagging - capture data fast through customizable forms.
  3. Fast photo retrieval - An easily searchable and retrievable archive.
  4. Share photos fast - setup automatic emails, and 
  5. Improved accountability within the team & a centralized location that your whole team can access at any time from any location.
