The auto transport industry is known for its complexities, especially when it comes to documentation. Shipping a vehicle involves significantly more work than mailing a package, requiring auto transport dispatchers, shippers, and carriers to manage a plethora of documents before dispatch.
In this article, we will explore how QR code scanning technology is revolutionizing the transport industry:
Have you ever been overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork involved in shipping vehicles? The process can often feel as time-consuming as the actual transport of the vehicles. However, the introduction of QR code scanning in routing software is transforming how documentation is managed, simplifying the entire workflow.
The intricate nature of the auto transport industry necessitates meticulous documentation systems to keep all stakeholders informed about shipment statuses, including suppliers, warehouses, distributors, and freight carriers. Traditionally dominated by paper documentation, this industry is now witnessing a shift thanks to innovative technologies.
The emergence of smartphones has drastically changed the operational landscape for businesses worldwide. With advancements in mobile technology and applications, QR code tracking has emerged as a simple yet effective solution for documenting and tracking auto transport shipments.
Let's follow Jake, a driver utilizing this technology, as he efficiently loads a shipment of vehicles from one lot to another in a nearby city.
Utilizing QR code scanning technology enables Jake to drive directly to the appropriate parking lot and load the correct vehicles onto his truck. The QR codes provide clear instructions on which vehicles need to be loaded and which should remain behind, streamlining the loading process.
With the QR code scanning app on his smartphone, Jake captures images of each vehicle's condition before loading. These photos are linked to the corresponding QR codes, ensuring that there's no ambiguity regarding which image belongs to which vehicle. Anyone involved in the shipping process can access these images, keeping everyone informed about the shipment's condition.
Before departing, Jake secures a signature from the yard manager confirming the pickup. This information is then updated in the system and associated with the specific QR codes for each vehicle, ensuring accountability and transparency in the transport process.
Each vehicle's VIN is linked to its unique QR code, eliminating confusion between similar-looking cars or large batches of vehicles. All pertinent details, such as who picked up the vehicle, the time of the pickup, and its condition, are recorded and centralized through a simple scan of a smartphone.
QR codes represent a straightforward yet powerful technology that enhances efficiency for everyone in the auto transport industry, from dispatchers to drivers. The benefits of QR code scanning extend throughout the entire process, improving workflows and ensuring accuracy.
