Enterprise Photo Documentation System White Paper – Part III | LoadProof

 


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.

This document describes the implementation of an effective Enterprise Photo Documentation System in an enterprise. If you review the “Enterprise Photo Documentation System – White Paper – Part1” , “Enterprise Photo Documentation System – White Paper – Part2”and then review this current document, you will get much more value out of this exercise to understand the Enterprise Photo Documentation System thoroughly. However it is okay to review this current document by itself as well.

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 and businesses reduce claims and chargebacks. 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.

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:  Slow uploading - your camera likely requires a hardwire plug-in through USB. Time-consuming photo tagging - adding reference numbers or labels. Slow retrieval of photos - photos are often hard to search and locate. Sharing photos manually - manually attaching JPEG files to email. Accountability - there is no accountability as you don’t know who worked on the shipment. With an efficient photo documentation system will include: Fas...

Are you still using google drive in your warehouse? | LoadProof

  Here is another interesting dynamic about  LoadProof . Apparently somebody in their organization is interested and somebody saw the value of the product – LoadProof provides.  We get to talk to them and they’re curious. They want to learn more, and in our conversation this comes up: “hey we already use Google Drive, and we store pictures in Google Drive and and it was great for us”. This was actually a very interesting story. An intern from Georgia Tech, pretty smart kid, but they don’t understand all the implications of using an enterprise system for a recognized supply chain environment. In an established supply chain network, you’re dealing with so many different partners such as vendors, customers, transportation service providers, lumpers, etc., Supply chain is a huge community.  When you spend some time in the industry you understand all these different players and how to work with them and how to maintain the data integrity and still do business maintaining ...

Improve Quality in Your Supply Chain by Increasing Visibility | LoadProof

  I would think that electronics OEMs or distributors would be leading the charge toward quality, and I’m sure many of them are. However, the first time I encountered a quality department that did extensive quality control it was in a New Hampshire distribution center (DC) that served the apparel industry. For this manufacturer, the goal was to make fairly priced clothing that delivered good quality to middle-aged women. The Director of Quality at the warehouse, along with her team, did such a good job that this retailer was known for its quality. To meet their quality goals, workers spent a lot of time measuring the tops and pants against strict criteria, checking the cut of the pieces, figuring out how the pieces would look on real people, and making sure that the colors were good for a variety of skin tones. They thought of everything. They took pictures and shared infractions with their vendors across the supply chain. Quality inspection Quality inspection is a relatively simpl...
