Innovation reduces truck driver's time in distribution centre by 40%

ID Logistics, a European multinational of contract logistics, has developed a system that accelerates an important part of the logistics process, giving more autonomy to the truck driver in the delivery and collection of cargo in distribution centers. The initiative is already in operation and the plans are for expansion to other regions of the country in which the operator is present.

The tool, baptized Easy Check-in, created by ID Logistics Brasil, improved communication in the interaction with carriers, avoiding manual and repetitive processes, in addition to queues to enable the documentation of entry and exit of the warehouse. The system streamlined this step in 40%.

“Na ID Logistics, innovation goes hand in hand with operational efficiency and the well-being of our employees. In this case, we are looking at the drivers, essential in the logistics chain Easy Check-in, the process is digital and autonomous, with self-service totems, automated security instructions and real-time monitoring via information screens and SMS”, says Bruno Giacomo, Manager of Continuous Improvement.

In the traditional process, the driver needed to go to two service desks, one at the condominium concierge and another in the shipping sector. For this, he would pick up queues, waiting for the availability of the attendants.

Easy Checkin is a scanning solution that connects to the cargo database, where the driver performs the process of entering the warehouse to carry out its unloading or collection.He enters the information into the self-service totems, receives their entry confirmation and safety instructions.

It then receives information about the status of the load through the informative monitors, including SMS to their mobile phones. All this reduces the contact of the driver with the warehouse attendant, bringing more agility and productivity to the process.
