Improving the efficiency of handling freight is high on the logistics manager s list of measures that impact a company s profitability. It is all about security, intelligent information, better control, traceability, flows and logistical gains. In smart companies this is such an important matter and so closely associated with the brand s value that even the CEO gets involved. In intelligent companies, intelligent product marking is a management issue. Goods that are labelled at the supplier s premises with all the information that is relevant for the recipients shortens lead times and simplifies handling at all stages. From logistics companies to wholesale warehouses and all the way onto the shelves in the store. Baghera therefore includes a logistics service that makes us unique in the field of handling goods. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS Let s take trousers as an example. All order and article data is already in the Baghera system. The person packing the order informs Baghera that this bag that has just been sealed contains ten pairs of size 38 trousers. Ten such bags must be packed in a box, which is then sealed. 30 such boxes are loaded onto a pallet and secured using a pallet collar or stretch wrap. The Baghera system then creates labels for the bags, boxes and pallet, and prints a packing list for the whole consignment. SAVES TIME AND COSTS All packages and packaging now have the correct product marking, right from the outset. The customer can track the trousers directly throughout the whole logistics chain and knows where it is. Baghera s barcodes are always correct. Logistics companies and wholesalers can always rely on and use the label information to manage and simplify their logistics flows. You can be sure that Baghera Logistics Management saves both time and costs. With Baghera Logistics Management, we guarantee that all packages and packaging have the correct label. Throughout the whole logistics flow from primary package, secondary package, pallet and scanning the system reports back that everything has been packed correctly. You always know what s on the way. 0 123456 0 123456 7890 7
