Besides a number of new features, the upgrade includes an optimized, user-friendly interface, providing maximum flexibility and efficiency for your packing operations.

The browser-based packing area function tracks each shipment from its arrival at the packing area, through scanning and packaging selection, right to set-down at the dispatch area. This new flexibility means that full or partial shipments can be efficiently managed and packed, consolidated pallets entered in the system, discrepancies documented and weight tolerances set. The features also include organizational measures including options for unpacking, repacking, and adding additional article-specific information.

The new packing area interface sets new standards in terms of usability: Thanks to a central scan field, your logistics personnel can perform all required packing processes without manual keyboard input.
