Written by Staff Writer | May 15, 2023 7:34:00 AM

Digitized inbound processes have revolutionized the way we conduct business. With on-demand access to receiving activity metrics and a single version of truth for data, we can easily monitor and manage delivery milestones from gate-in to gate-out. Let’s take a closer look at how digitalized inbound processes work and how they can help streamline your business operations.  

What Are Digitized Inbound Processes?  

Digitized inbound processes are automated systems that allow warehouses to track their inbound receiving more efficiently. With these systems, receiving managers are able to prioritize tasks, optimize unloading resources and analyze metrics related to the inbound process to identify opportunities for improved efficiencies.  

Benefits of Digitized Inbound Processes  

Digitalized inbound processes come with many benefits for warehouses, distribution centers, and vendors delivering to these facilities. They save time by automating mundane tasks such as data entry and verification, allowing for reduced headcount and employee overhead. Additionally, these systems provide real-time visibility into unloading milestones, so companies can quickly identify issues before they become major problems and avoid costly detention exposure.
