Manufacturing & Industrial delivery management benefits
Balance production and delivery schedules to deliver on time, every time.
Connect logistics with manufacturing schedules
At last, dynamic route planning to match your production schedules and ‘Just in Time’ principles
Manage complex delivery requirements
Delivering industrial items isn’t like just dropping off a parcel. Manage strict drop-off times, returnable assets & goods on-hand with ease.
Stop wasting time on manual tasks
Connect your ERP, MRP or order management system with Stream and stop wasting your operational teams' time on tedious manual entry tasks.
Planning delivery routes for manufactured products
Optimised delivery routes planned with production schedules in mind
Stream takes volume fluctuations in manufacturing output in its stride. Build efficient delivery routes in just a few clicks, factoring in vehicle load capacity, specific customer delivery windows, and, crucially, production on hand dates. You maximise your fleet's utilisation, whilst reducing the cost per mile for every unit shipped and delivering exceptional customer service.
Proactive Customer Notifications & Tracking
Give your customers the ability to track every order from warehouse to door
Deliver the same level of proactive notifications and order tracking to your trade customers as they’ve come to expect. Stream sends automated email and / or SMS notifications with accurate ETAs, so your customers know exactly when your vehicle will arrive at their site. Visibility stops the phone from ringing and allows your ops teams to focus on strategy rather than chasing drivers.
ePOD to individual item level
Faster invoicing and fewer disputes with instant Proof of Delivery
Stream’s mobile driver app can capture photos, signatures, notes alongside time, date and location stamps at the point of delivery to minimise liability risks in industrial supply chains. You get an indisputable audit trail confirming that goods were delivered undamaged, to the correct location and right person. This accelerates invoicing and helps resolve disputes quickly.
Barcode scanning & inventory accuracy
Traceability for every individual item with barcode scanning capabilities
Ensure the right goods get on the right vehicle every time. Stream enables drivers to scan items on and off the vehicle. This verifies that the load matches the manifest before the vehicle even leaves the yard, preventing costly mis-deliveries and ensuring accurate "goods on hand" reporting for your inventory teams.
Manufacturing-specific integrations
Keep your logistics operation in-sync with your factory floor and wider business operation
You use sophisticated ERP, MRP or OMS systems to manage production, but that data often hits a wall when it comes to dispatch. Make sure your transport teams don’t waste hours manually duplicating order information before they even start planning deliveries by connecting your back-office systems with Stream.
