Dispatch and Logistics Intelligence

Connect pick, pack, carrier and documentation signals so an order that is finished does not then miss its date on the way out.

The problem

Objective: Protect the delivery itself.

An order can be made on time and still arrive late. The paperwork was not ready, the collection was booked for the wrong day, the consignment was short one item, or nobody noticed the carrier had changed the cut-off.

These are small failures at the very end of a long process, and they undo all the work that went before them.

What it does

Four things it has to get right.

01

Dispatch readiness

Check that everything a consignment needs, stock, documents, packaging and a booked collection, is actually in place before the cut-off.

02

Cut-off awareness

Work backwards from carrier collection times so the floor knows the real deadline, not the delivery date.

03

Short and split shipments

Flag where a consignment is about to go incomplete and what the customer was promised.

04

Carrier reality

Hold the record of how each carrier and lane actually performs against what was booked.

Operational signals

What it reads.

Read-only, from the systems you already run. Nothing is replaced and nothing is written back without an approval.

  • Pick and pack status
  • Export and delivery documentation
  • Carrier bookings and cut-offs
  • Consignment completeness

The decision

Who acts on it.

Warehouse, dispatch and customer service

Decide what ships today, what splits, and which customer needs telling before the van leaves rather than after.

Illustrative scenario

A consignment is one item short two hours before the carrier cut-off. See whether to split the shipment or hold it, and what each means for the customer.
