In-DEX WMS Warehouse Management Software ensures comprehensive compliance across all regulations. Its in-built comprehensive set of rules, compatibility tables, and system check and catch points ensure, for example, that flammable materials are kept separate from oxidising agents and that correct ADR (Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) documentation is produced and shipped with the carrier’s outgoing loads.
In-DEX WMS electronically stores delivery documentation and accompanying documentation including authorisations, approvals, notifications, certificates and more. Mandatory instructions can be used throughout the process to ensure the operator confirms compliance at all stages.
