Challenges faced by Client
In light of its extensive global presence spanning diverse geographic regions, the client confronted a formidable challenge centered on the labor-intensive, manual procedures inherent in managing data within their back-office Fleet ERP system. These manual processes proved exceedingly time-consuming, demanding substantial human effort, and left room for potential errors.
Furthermore, the intricacies of tracking cargo movements, along with capturing pertinent images and dimensions, posed a considerable hurdle when relying solely on conventional desktop systems. In the real-world scenario, loaders navigated the warehouse, meticulously identifying, verifying, and loading cargo onto trucks.
The manual extraction of critical information at specific times and locations presented a daunting task. Even more daunting was the prospect of generating data analytics and comprehensive reports for top management, which seemed almost unattainable.
The pressing need for a Warehouse Management App (WMA) became evident as the client sought to streamline these operations. This envisioned solution aimed to automate and centralize cargo information, mitigating the associated manual efforts and inefficiencies.
