Digital Inventory Control
for Domestic and Interstate Moves
It’s interesting to see a typical journey of a customer inventory throughout a long distance move.
Here are the main steps:
It’s the very versatility and the simplicity of Voxme platforms that allows the likes of JK Moving Services, Piece of Cake Moving & Storage, Flatrate, Roadway and many others to establish an efficient inventory control process.
Let’s look at the main operational steps first and then see how the above platform help you handle the relevant operations with more efficiency:
Leaving stress on these hard travelled boxes outside of this discussion, one can see why interstate and long-distance movers are so keen on getting an inventory control system. At a minimum, there are 6 points of inventory transfer in a described process and traditionally very little computer power controlling the process. And that leads to the “missing pieces” curse that all movers are all too familiar with.
How do we know all this?
Because some of these movers have turned to Voxme to help set up a digital, barcode based inventory control system to help them be as efficient as possible given the increased volumes and shrinking move sizes.
In a nutshell what Voxme system does is blend the right doze of technology into the established process. In practical terms it means:
Printing labels for the crews going to pickups
Dispatch inventory jobs to crews’ tablets and smartphones. No special equipment needed.
Allow crews to label items and create detailed packing lists with damage descriptions and photos to avoid mixups and claims.
Printing more labels in the warehouse when the crews come back from pickup.
Allowing multiple crews to add to the same inventory on successive days whilst allowing the transferee and the office to see the up-to-date inventory at any time.
Scanning pieces in a warehouse, be it onto pallets, liftvans, shipping containers or storage vaults or oversized items areas and Printing full size pallet and storage labels.
Scanning loose pieces or entire pallets and liftvans out of the warehouse into a container or to a trucking company.
Dispatching delivery jobs to the destination agent for electronic delivery bingo check-off.
Does it mean that you have to do all of the above?
Absolutely not. You can start with simple digital inventory and go from there. Talk to us and we’ll help you add efficiency and control to your established paper based processes. That’s what we’ve been doing for the last 20 years.
