Dock Virtual Shipping Automation

THE PROBLEM:

Most of the tools used in CVG2-Kindle are tools created for the whole Reverse Logistic network, but because Kindle is a unique department we adapt every tool according with what we need. To virtually ship our shipments our Dock Clerks had a manual scan four times each “SPOO”

Scan Destination

Scan quantity

Scan weight

This task was a repetitive activity that take more that 70% of their work hours.
