Pick Lists and Customer shipments are automatically generated based on these customer requirements. Setup of new electronic trading partners and part-numbers is a snap! Customer Container Labeling: Container labels are automatically generated in one of two ways. Centrally for bulk printing or prototype and non-standard quantities. Also, for those sites not yet ready for line-side labeling. Lineside Labeling, for generation of customer-specific container labels on the factory floor. Correct product identification is achieved and verified through the use of our Lineside labeling module. ScanToVerify: Wireless Shipping Shipments are prepared and pick lists are generated automatically based on customer ordering documents, which may be overridden based on available inventory, customer phone calls, etc. The shipment is then thoroughly scanned, followed by an automated reconciliation performed in the shipping office. This reconciliation verifies that customer requirements have not changed. It fully edits the shipment to ensure ASN acceptance. All customer required forms and master labels, as well as the ASN, are generated from this base of verified data. All of this is done with minimal data entry on the part of shipping personnel. Often just the conveyance information (trailer or PRO number) is keyed.
