AdvancedDock Solution Enables Contactless Workflows for Increased Safety and Productivity

Advanced Solutions expands digital logistics platform and support for eBOL with new dock management solution

improve management, help to increase efficiency and worker safety by reducing interactions and transaction steps.”
DockView, an innovative graphical facility view, provides instant access to load details and visibility to all dock activities such as drivers waiting to load or unload. One feature of DockView allows for task initiation by visually dragging a load to a door which initiates a trailer move and driver communication.
The software’s facilitation of contactless workflows is a boon to both productivity and worker safety during this ongoing pandemic. Truckers can check in at facilities using the AdvancedDock self-service capabilities. Automatic check-ins using geo-fencing or proximity are also possible when using the company’s Transport or AdvancedPOD driver apps. The system assigns doors and maintains real-time data using machine learning models that take shipping & receiving capacity, worker equipment availability and shipment prioirties to automatically assign doors and load handling. Paperwork is also completed at a self-service kiosk, thereby reducing contact.

AdvancedDock builds on the eBOL technology that the company released in 2018 by making it possible to generate and digitally transfer document data across the supply chain. This technology helps to reduce data errors and labor in rekeying or scanning paper documents.


For those interested in a smart solution to dock management, they can learn more about AdvancedDock and request a demo on the Advanced Solutions website at www.advsolutionpros.com/advanceddock.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
