Why Photos are important Data when it Comes to Chargebacks

Why Photos are important Data when it Comes to Chargebacks | LoadProof

Data is the new oil of the Digital economy. It has been said that data in the twenty-first century is like oil in the eighteenth century. I don’t agree with this 100%. Like oil, data has to be refined before it is used, and it’s only as valuable as the insights that are drawn from it. Further, oil is a limited commodity, and we all know that the deluge of data is getting bigger every day. And with the proliferation of sensors everywhere, especially in mobile devices, it is much easier to gather data from business operations and also get much better insights from it.

We are data rich, but information poor, this is changing with the rise of AI, ML and the cost of computing power going down significantly experts are able to run several analytics models and cull out some deep insights from the data that is available.

According to a McKinsey Report [1]

Companies have managed to generate 20% of their revenue from Data and Analytics products and services
Data experts are getting a seat in the C suite
Companies are incorporating something called “Data Culture”, adapting a Data and Analytics basis for all the functions in the organization, not just for decision making, but making data and analytics an integral part of everything of an organization,
Above all, the high performers indicate that their leaders are creating both data and analytics strategies for the long haul. Meaning these organizations are making data a core part of employees’ workflows and mind-sets by educating them as part of a broader effort to build a strong data-driven culture. All the while, they are ensuring that high- quality data and modern technological foundations are in place to support these efforts at scale.

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.

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...
