OAT Automated Goods Receipt

Supply chain execution best practices start at the source of the value chain: Inbound Receiving.

Advanced Ship Notices (ASNs) streamline receiving, but processes are still are prone to errors from manual inspection and barcoding . Assumed receipt of inbound orders can lead to inventory discrepancies that are not discovered until they become critical issues downstream. OAT Automated Goods Receipt streamlines and error-proofs the receipt & verification of incoming goods with Auto-ID Technology, integrated with ERP and Supply Chain Execution Systems.

OAT leveraged an electronic component manufacturer’s Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide real-time tracking of delivery trucks. The manufacturer realized a 300%+ ROI based on labor savings from automated loading, unloading and manifesting, along with recovery of lost material.
