SP Shipping consists in digitally managing the entire shipping process. This module is fully available on Android mobile application to provide the necessary flexibility required for this step of the production process.
Available on Android mobile application: Workshop Assistant
Group parts into shipping batches and shipments based on project, delivery date, destination, etc. Automatically generate packing lists with quantities, weights, and part references. Include bundling or palletizing information (e.g., bundle ID, weight per bundle).
Optimize truck loads based on weight, volume, or unloading sequence. Plan multiple transports, shipments, packing preparations per day, week, month. Assign delivery dates, vehicles, drivers, and routes. Manage and follow incoming and outcoming shipments with desired dates and customizable tracking.
Track each part, assembly, package by unique ID or barcode. Know which parts have been prepared, checked, shipped or delivered, and which are late. Prevent missing or duplicated items at delivery.
Generate shipping labels with QR codes, barcodes, bundle numbers, or project codes.
Labels can include destination, part type, customer, or unloading sequence. Install printers in the shipping section if needed.
Automatically generate shipping documents: delivery notes, bills of lading, certificates of origin, customs declarations (if applicable). Support compliance with traceability standards (e.g., EN 1090 in Europe).
Interface with the SP Production module to ensure only available/finished parts are prepared for shipping and avoid shipping unprocessed or incomplete assemblies. Send feedback to track this step of the process in the software.
Assign specific parts or assemblies to external subcontractors for processing (e.g., painting, galvanizing, machining, etc.). Track outgoing and incoming shipments to/from subcontractors, with full traceability and timestamps. Generate delivery slips, return documentation, and link to associated purchase orders. Ensure subcontracted parts are excluded from direct-to-site shipments until returned and approved, avoiding costly errors.
Track the arrival, unloading, and installation status of each part or assembly at the job site. Ensure real-time visibility into what has been delivered, what is still in transit, and what has already been installed. Site crews can scan part labels (QR/barcode) on arrival to automatically update the system. Identify missing or delayed components, improving coordination between logistics, subcontractors, and erection teams.
