Electronic delivery orders slash truck arrival queues

Faster truck arrival processing with Containerchain EDO notifications in CDMS. Containerchain uses digital processing to improve productivity by eliminating time-wasting information gaps and errors for truck drivers and container yards. Road transport fleet controllers can now slash the queuing time for their truck arrivals at container yards by simply attaching the shipping line's electronic delivery order (EDO) to their booking in the notification function within Containerchain's vehicle booking system (VBS), making the information readily available to the container yard's gate controller on the truck's arrival. The EDO can be attached when the fleet controller creates the notification to book a slot at the container yard and allocates the job to a driver. Or it can be attached after the booking is made while the truck is enroute to the yard. Containerchain users are able to access attached EDOs in the following ways: TRANSPORT USERS VIA MY NOTIFICATIONS FACILITIES USERS VIA VIEW NOTIFICATIONS CONTAINERCHAIN ADMINISTRATION USERS VIA MANAGE NOTIFICATIONS The container yard gate controller can then quickly and easily access the EDO associated with a truck's booking in Containerchain's VBS. This eliminates time wasted searching for emailed EDOs or rekeying information from a paper copy, reducing queues and bottlenecks into the container yard. Container yard gate controllers can either access the EDO in advance to have all information ready before the truck arrives, or quickly pull up the information on arrival, to prevent unnecessary delays. Andrew Smith, general manager of Containerchain says there is a huge opportunity for fleet controllers to cut queuing delays for trucks in container yards by adopting this digital process. "Fleet controllers have a copy of the EDO for all goods they are to pick up. Even if a shipping line has not uploaded their EDO into Containerchain, the fleet controller can simply attach a copy of the EDO to their notification so that it is readily accessible by the container yard gate controller. Container facility managers can even opt to mandate that EDOs be attached for bookings at their facility." The EDO can be attached in a wide range of file types: PDF, Microsoft Word, Office Open XML, all image formats, CSV or plain text. The EDO attachment function is available now For more information refer to the Containerchain update note on WiseTech Academy   CLICK HERE   John Park Head of Business Operations | Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA)  Secretariat, Biosecurity Treatment Providers Reference Group (BTPRG) Editor Across Borders
