Reefer temperature at arrival
Record the trailer's temperature with the arrival time, so a refused or accepted load has the reading on file.
Solutions · Food and beverage
Receiving for food and beverage, where every hour on the dock counts.
Cold chain receiving can't wait for a door to open up, and a load rejected for temperature or damage needs a record that holds up. Live Unload schedules the trucks, keeps the temperature, times and photos with the load, and shows which carriers keep you waiting.
Sounds familiar?
- Refrigerated loads arrive in clusters and sit while the dock catches up.
- A load is refused at the door and the supplier wants proof.
- The same suppliers deliver on the same days every week, and someone books every one by hand.
Damage and shortage, with photos
Mark overage, shortage or damage, add notes and photos from the phone camera, and keep the signed BOL with them.
Recurring appointments
On Enterprise, book a supplier's standing delivery once, such as every Tuesday at 6 AM, and the visits are booked ahead automatically.
A detention clock
On Enterprise, every live appointment shows its clock: green during free time, amber in the last 30 minutes, red in detention.
Which plan
Enterprise is usually the fit, for recurring appointments, the detention clock and carrier scorecards: $200 a month or $2,000 a year for up to 10 warehouses. See plans
Questions
Does Live Unload monitor temperature?
No. Staff record the reefer's temperature reading when the truck arrives. Live Unload keeps it with the load; it doesn't connect to temperature sensors.
Can we close the dock for a holiday?
Yes. A closure stops bookings for a date or a range of dates, with an optional message carriers see on the booking page.
Can staff book a delivery for a supplier who calls?
Yes. Administrators and warehouse managers book from Create appointment, and the carrier is emailed.
