A late truck can idle a whole line.
When materials feed production, every inbound load is a deadline. Lickety shows exactly where each truck is and whether it'll make the window — before the line feels it.
Where the schedule breaks down.
Every one of these ends the same way: the plant reacts late.
No word until it's late
The PO says today. The truck says nothing. Purchasing calls the carrier, the carrier calls dispatch, dispatch calls the driver — and the line waits on the answer.
Receiving out of sequence
Loads land in whatever order trucks arrive — not the order production needs. Every out-of-sequence arrival is another forklift shuffle.
Expedites you didn't need
Half the “emergency” freight was never actually late — nobody could see it, so somebody paid extra to be sure.
Materials you can plan around.
Production planning works when arrival times are real — not carrier promises.
Color-coded windows
Green, yellow, or red against the receiving window. You know at 8 a.m. which afternoon deliveries are in trouble.
Live location & ETA
Distance and minutes to your gate, streamed live. Line-side planning stops depending on carrier check calls.
Delivery windows drivers see
Set the receiving window once; every driver claiming the load sees it in the app. Dock hours stop being tribal knowledge.
Shareable shipment updates
Share a no-login tracking page with colleagues. They can view pickup and delivery progress and refresh it for updates.
