Logistics for Logistics
In logistics, real-time visibility of warehouse, shipment and distribution requires functions to track every pallet and delivery from goods receipt to handover. Digitize the entire shipping process from order preparation to delivery. Shipment planning, packaging and packing management, transport types and route templates work integrated with the sales and warehouse modules.
Logistics context
Why Logistics works differently in Logistics
In Logistics, logistics and distribution operations center on sector-specific concepts such as addressed warehouse, shipment planning, route and distribution. In logistics, real-time visibility of warehouse, shipment and distribution requires functions to track every pallet and delivery from goods receipt to handover.
Qera ERP's Logistics module is set up around how the logistics sector works: Manages shipment planning, routing and delivery tracking in one flow and makes distribution cost visible.
- When addressing and shelf management are inadequate, picking times grow and incorrect shipments increase.
- When shipment planning is done by hand, vehicle and route capacity is used inefficiently.
- When order, warehouse and transport data are disconnected, you can't see where a shipment is in real time.
