Warehouse Load Bay Management Optimisation:

In-DEX WMS Warehouse Management Software

 
In-DEX Load Bay Management technology, when used in conjunction with In-DEX WMS Warehouse Management Software,  allows users to efficiently schedule inbound and outbound loads evenly across days and in doing so optimises movements with available resources such as loading bays, operators, handling equipment and more.

As well as being a shared diary, In-DEX WMS Load Bay scheduler technology automatically sends email confirmations with the agreed appointment details to customers, suppliers and transport operators along with a 2-D barcode.

When vehicles are running behind their advised booked times, In-DEX WMS Load Bay scheduler can automatically send an email alert following a user-definable time period requesting that the transport company contacts their driver to call with an updated arrival time.

For business efficiency analysis, against transport company, customer or supplier KPI reports can be produced to analyse actual times against the booked times.
