Logistics Automation Solutions
1 / Difficulty
This is a food logistics company focusing on the catering industry, processing about 1,200 to 2,500 orders every day. As the volume of business increases, the company faces an increasingly heavy workload.
Manual input errors: In the past, order department employees needed to manually enter the delivery and return goods for each order, which led to a large number of input errors.
High labor cost: The entire process involves a lot of manpower, especially during peak periods, when employees need to work overtime to cope with the volume of orders.
The return process is cumbersome: returned goods need to be rechecked and the system updated manually, which increases the workload.
