Loading Dock Schedule Approvals

Loading Dock Schedule Approvals

Automate the loading dock schedule approval workflow for maximizing dock efficiency.

Why automate?

Logistics companies depend on loading docks for safe and secure storage of their goods and material. In order that loading at docks happens in a smooth manner, you need to have a clear loading dock schedule. Once a schedule is created, logistics managers need to review and approve the same. Logistics managers need to review several loading dock schedules at a time, which makes manual processing difficult. How do you ensure that approval of loading dock schedules happens in a timely fashion without causing any disruptions to the supply chain? Workflow automation. By automating the loading dock schedule approval workflow all requests are automatically routed to the logistics manager for review and approval. The alerts and notifications issued by automated workflows ensures that stakeholders do not miss out on the review. A workflow platform like Cflow enhances visibility and control over the scheduling process. There are no delays or disruptions in the supply chain, which in turn improves efficiency of operations.
