SmartScan: a fast and efficient packing process with the help of bar code scanning

We like to make things easy for you! 

Do you recognise this? 

You have an ERP or WMS system in which all your orders can be found. However, you cannot enter shipping information in it, e.g. packaging and carrier information, you cannot indicate how many parcels are included in your shipments and you do not have the possibility of sending ZPL codes directly to your printer.

In addition, you do not have the possibility of triggering a printer order at the moment that the goods are at the packing table, which means that you run the risk that the wrong label is placed on the wrong box. A difficult situation, because it is nice if all your important information is available in one overview: the order that was placed and the information for the preparation for shipment of the order and the information for the booking and  printing of the shipment.

Always the correct shipping information & the correct label

SmartScan can be used for various purposes. Namely to add shipping information to the shipment if this is not possible in your ERP or WMS system. (Think about, for instance, packaging and carrier information, the number of parcels, etc.) This way you have all the information at one location, which makes the process more efficient and more transparent for you.

In addition, SmartScan can be used if the order and carrier information is communicated correctly from your source system, however a trigger to print the right shipping label at the right time is missing. This ensures that the chance of the wrong label ending up on the wrong box is nil.

The advantages

• Faster & more efficient packing process. 
• Less error-sensitive packing process. 
• Automatic printing of the correct label at the right moment. 
• Order & shipping information easily transparent. 
• Data enrichment through SmartScan.

How does SmartScan work?

Unique barcodes from your ERP / WMS / e-commerce system are mentioned on your packing slips. With the Smart-Scan module you can read these unique bar codes. The scan immediately retrieves information that is known in your system. Below you can find the three variants that we offer:

The 3 variants of SmartScan

• Booking & printing – the scanning of the barcode immediately generates a book & print action. This variant is relevant when all data are correctly available in your ERP or WMS system and you can personally indicate what carrier and/or shipping method you select. 
• Adjustments transport order – the scanning of the barcode immediately retrieves the transport order. You can now make adjustments within this transport order, including the number of parcels, box types, weight and shipping method. 
• Custom-made – in association with you we can set up SmartScan in a custom-made manner: hence completely geared to your processes.
