Constant monitoring addresses delays immediately

Nowhere is a smooth supply chain more relevant than in the perishable sector where every delay can result in major negative consequences. Which is why efficient and up-to-date electronic systems are key, says Nachi Mendelow, marketing and sales manager of Compu-Clearing. Mendelow says ediEnterprise together with the Compu-Clearing interface allows for the management of all different container types, including general purpose and reefers. “ediEnterprise tracks the container dimensions as well as the goods dimensions that are packed to ensure that you do not over-fill containers,” he explained. “It also allows one to manage aspects such as temperature, humidity and vent settings. Many other services, including fumigation and cleaning, can be attached to containers as necessary, while all required tracking dates in the import and export process can be captured.” He stressed the importance before implementing a systems solution of evaluating a client’s particular needs. “In the perishable sector time is of the essence as is tracking, as it is important to always know exactly where the cargo is and when it will be arriving at its end destination. These elements must then be incorporated into one’s systems solutions,” he said. “Through ediEnterprise WebTracker this is possible as it provides the ability to track shipments from the beginning of a journey to the end, while all the time allowing users to communicate the movement of the cargo.” This way a perishable cargo is monitored constantly and any delays can be addressed immediately, minimising damage.
