Has it happened to you that you were working on a couple of shipments and ended up loading product into the wrong truck? Or you assumed a certain container was sealed with a seal with a certain id, only to find out later (detained container) that someone swapped seals? Costly!
If you know what container, seal, barcode, or any field should be handled in a file, Cargonap allows you to 'validate' that value.
Example case: container code validation
Imagine that you have a container export process that consists of these 3 steps:
-
Document checks
-
Container inspection
-
Container loading
Now, imagine that in step 3 you want to "double-check" that in fact the same container from the provided documents is being used.
In Cargosnap, you may opt for 3 separate workflows to accomplish this (or just one, all on the specific conditions you have). So lets create these 3, looking much like:
Workflow 1: Document checks
- Scan container code from document
Workflow 2: Container inspection
- Scan container code from container door
Workflow 3: Container loading
- Scan container code from container door
Now - by enabling "Validate" in this step:
You just turned on a process whereby you validate that the same code as collected in Workflow 1, 2 and 3 is in fact used!
So, in the case the container code used is not the same as in workflow 1 and 2, a warning will be shown, and the operator of the Cargosnap app will not be able to proceed, until the error is corrected. This may avoid costly mistakes!
