It’s November, and we’re now fully immersed in the insanity of peak shipping season! Warehouse operations managers around the world are dealing with an avalanche of orders while working to maintain the efficiency, speed, and accuracy your clients rely on. For decades, operations managers have tackled the problem by hiring temporary workers. Cargo Spectre offers a more permanent and affordable solution, instead.
The Problem: Peak Season Overload
When holidays arrive, shipping demand surges, and the logistics industry begins the toughest stretch of the year. Experienced, reliable labor comes at a premium, and the onslaught of orders often necessitates temp hires that are expensive, time consuming to train, and may introduce errors that tarnish your reputation. In other words, throwing more bodies at the problem creates more problems than it solves.
Automation with Cargo Spectre
At Cargo Spectre, we develop high-tech solutions to the challenge of boosting throughput with fewer workers, not more. As our clients can attest, manpower multiplication is not your only defense against peak season pressure. Our state-of-the-art freight data and dimensioning systems help effectively neutralize the seasonal surge, directly tackling the heart of your problem.
How Does It Work?
The key to surviving and thriving in peak shipping season is the ability to capture quality data and interpret it effectively. Thanks to Cargo Spectre, this level of accuracy is low-hanging fruit when it comes to warehouse automation.
Cargo Spectre’s automated dimensioners measure the weight and volume of freight—including pallets, parcels, and all other regular and irregular shaped cargo types—with precise accuracy. Measurements are instantaneous and can be triggered with a barcode scan or a single click, which means fewer workers and labor hours are needed to do the same job. Each freight measurement is automatically recorded (along with photos) in your database of choice for easy retrieval and sharing.
This cost-effective and efficient alternative to manual measurement and data entry significantly minimizes labor costs and maximizes output, ensuring your operations are reliable and cost-efficient even during peak periods.
Reaping the Benefits of Automation
Unlike the temporary efficiency offered by seasonal hires, Cargo Spectre offers our partners permanent efficiency. By relying less on manual labor, you can dramatically reduce the impact of injury, staff turnover, and training periods, making your logistics operations far more robust and resilient.
Imagine this: your peak-season efficiency running all year-round with a mere fraction of peak season staff! This isn’t just lessening your seasonal load, it’s recontextualizing your operations and breathing new life into your logistics operations.
Moreover, our systems are unbelievably easy to integrate and operation-friendly, designed to be used by both industry veterans and newbies alike. Our commitment to your success is underlined by our world-class 24/7 support, ready to assist at all times.
