List import in ParcelVIS
Bordesholm, March 2, 2018
The list import in the ParcelVIS software for image-based parcel tracking in the warehouse is primarily a target/ actual comparison of packages. The list management in ParcelVIS makes it possible to process package searches more easily and clearly. Both manually created individual files and standard lists can be imported automatically, e.g. every morning.
Advantages
During the daily comparison of the packages in the incoming and outgoing goods via a difference list, which is automatically transferred to list management every morning, the user can then specifically search these packages using video investigation to find out why, for example, there was no initial scan or why there were differences.
The difference amounts collected in a list during the course of a working day by quality management can then be checked by means of video investigation to see whether the consignments affected have left the depot. The main advantage is that this step is done directly in the ParcelVIS interface, no need to switch between two systems. This search information can be documented and saved on the same day (possible export formats, for example, .csv and Excel files). This speeds up internal processes and creates transparency.
The targeted search for scan types (bridge scanner vs. i-point) in a selectable period of time is also possible, because behind the functionality of the list import a database is stored, which allows various information queries.
