  • Additional benefit for bulk consignments, will move into a higher weight break for a reduced price

• Receiver will reflect what is in your ERP system – reduce risk of miscommunication with customer especially on address (e.g. house number)

• Bulk importing consignments – if a project, roll out, trade-show orders come through you can consign multiple in one go and fill in as many fields as possible, then fill in gaps when you have picked and packed – only enter the remaining 10% rather than doing all one-by-one.
• Delivery instructions can be saved for a receiver – e.g. go via back entrance , customer needs tailgate vehicle so no need to type every time
• Also can create a quick list of standard delivery instructions for new receivers – e.g. ATL, Tailgate, Hand unload, Fragile
