Damaged packages are a part of our everyday lives in the warehouse. These damages can occur many ways – from many different parties. Shippers may mishandle goods as they are loaded and transported. Packages may be exposed to fluids or other environmental hazards. Your own team of warehouse associates also contribute to package damages during the put-away, picking or shipping processes. The shipping and return expenses of replacing damaged products has never been higher, to the point where customers are encouraged to keep the damaged product and accept a pristine replacement.
Once your receiving team signs the proof of delivery, any damages noticed after the fact are yours’ to contend with. Thorough package damage detection is manual and typically includes:
Thorough manual inspections of every package and pallet entering your warehouse is time consuming, costly, and generates bottlenecks in your receiving bays. These inspections can now be automated; improving the quality of reporting, speed of receiving and reducing your overall headcount requirements.
