Benefits – Visibility and Warehouse Optimisation
� With better “visibility” and accurate data, containers can be green-laned by Customs for Trusted Tradelanepartners

� Visibility allows targeted stuffing of containers by the Freight Forwarder for specific customer regions and stores in the UK
� Targeted container stuffing improves storage at the consolidation point in China
� Improved packaging leads to less space in the warehouse allowing for cost savings and revenue increases where container volumetrics are maximised
BAP Logistics Ltd
Warehouse Optimisation - Cubiscan
� By capturing volumetrics issues earlier in the supply chain, BAP have introduced a Cubiscan device
� With exact dimensions of a single carton, outer cartons and pallet configuration can be maximised to increase warehouse storage capacity

� Improved pallet configurations have allowed for a 0.3m average stack height increase

where containers were previously not being used to their full load capacity.
� We have also used the more accurate shipping data to schedule our warehouse work loads and ensure promotions hit their on sale deadlines
� The specific data capture developed for the data pipeline, including declaration data will be used in other projects currently in development e.g. Core
