Loading for Ideal Vehicle Utilization

FleetLoader

“ We load driver-friendly, and to do that we need an order sheet for the warehouse workers who prepare the orders by stop. We pull the data into FleetLoader, and then forward it to the warehouses. FleetLoader creates pick sheets with big, bold text that our pickers appreciate.” Dr. Jeff Gower, CEO Wil Fischer, Inc.

Put It All Together With FleetLoader FleetLoader is designed specifically for beverage distributors to help you: • Analyze and optimize beverage vehicle load planning and building • Accommodate a variety of loading strategies—pallet building, bay loading, warehouse- or driverfriendly and hybrids—for multiple types of routes • Create load designs that decrease load/unload times while reducing breakage through proper mixing and stacking • Maximize profitability through reduced overtime and optimized resource utilization • Pre-build orders throughout the day to be picked, built, pre-staged and allocated to the correct route and truck • Generate reports and directions covering all aspects of load and delivery • Accommodate growing numbers of SKUs and package types

As every beverage distributor knows, the success of any distribution company starts in the warehouse. Just how efficiently and carefully your merchandise is organized and loaded into vehicles can make all the difference between profit and loss. With the rapidly expanding SKUs you must carry, loading becomes more of a challenge. Managing a growing range of incompatible container shapes and sizes, along with various vehicle types and sudden schedule changes, you can quickly find yourself tied up with one crisis after another. Now you can optimize your loading operations with FleetLoader from UPS Logistics Technologies. Specifically created to manage the complex needs of large-scale beverage warehouse and delivery operations, this powerful PC-based software solution instantly helps you take the manual guesswork out of your loading process. By applying FleetLoader’s streamlined approach to efficient stacking and loading, you can clearly define and reach even higher service goals, bringing a greater reliability to your warehouse operations than ever before—and a greater capacity to your deliveries every day.

Optimizing Your Operation While an industry-leading application, FleetLoader can be quickly configured to fit the dynamics of your operation. This tool can adapt to different loading strategies that best reflect your own operational processes. Need to exclude certain package types? Loading both bulk and bay vehicles? Juggling warehouse versus driver-friendly strategies? It’s no problem with FleetLoader. You start by selecting a loading methodology that’s your best operational fit, and then design loads (including pre-building, staging and exclusions) that integrate seamlessly into final loading and routing. Effective graphical views with drag-and-drop capabilities allow you to analyze and optimize loads by stop and SKU down to the individual truck and bay, while calculating capacities with absolute accuracy. In short, FleetLoader helps you to eliminate many hours wasted on manual load planning, so that you can focus on the real job— managing your operation. FleetLoader’s advanced systems calculate for the best mixing and stacking of products in a given load, so that the possibility of breakage is dramatically reduced. The result? Your pick sheets

FleetLoader’s range of tools gives you the advantage in creating balanced loads every time. Through the Pallet View, you can build individual pallets that can decrease load/unload times while reducing breakage thanks to optimal mixing and stacking. Analyze weight distribution, unassigned SKUs, bay capacity, and more, all at a glance.

FleetLoader’s powerful reporting capabilities provide you with the accurate pick sheets you need to share information immediately with your warehouse employees. By generating such critical documents as this Loading Sheet, you’re assured of complete accountability while enhancing productivity, even with new or seasonal workers.
