Custom analysis of warehouse activity

The reports we need in our company are based on data: the information that reveals areas for improvement and makes it possible to start new projects. Slot’s Eyes is the yard management system that serves a double purpose. First, it lets companies bring order to the operations taking place in the warehouse, drawing on the bookings made by the various stakeholders such as carriers, customers or suppliers, as well as internal staff. Second, it gathers the information so that customised reports on different parameters can then be produced.

Customisation: data tailored to you

Every company has specific requirements for its measurements, which may even depend on cross-cutting projects. To meet that need, Slot’s Eyes can produce three types of report.

1. Time reports.

Slot’s Eyes users update in real time the status of each operation taking place in the warehouse: the carrier’s arrival, permission to access the site, entry to the dock and departure. This information is stored in our database so that reports can be produced on the punctuality and efficiency of our internal processes. Our software also makes it possible to analyse each part of the operation and even specific carriers.

2. Operations reports.

Assessing the efficiency of a dock or a warehouse, and even of the company itself, is possible thanks to the operations reports. Here, both the volume and the type of operations are analysed, along with the carrier that loaded or unloaded at our site. This lets us analyse the volumes handled according to different parameters.

3. Questionnaire reports.

One of the Slot’s Eyes features available in the dock settings is the creation of questionnaires. Our operatives answer closed questions: a scale from 1 to 10 and ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. From these answers, Slot’s Eyes can generate statistical reports on qualitative aspects. With them we not only have statistical information from customised questions: we can also create questions that give us valuable information for departments such as Quality (for example, on the temperature of refrigerated transport), Occupational Risk Prevention or Environment. Receiving reports

To ensure the information in the statistical reports is handled as well as possible, Slot’s Eyes can deliver them in PDF and CSV. This means the different departments and interested areas can work with the information in an open format, combine it with data from other complementary projects and even link it to other databases to build customised, cross-cutting queries.

It is worth noting that all three types of report can cover anything from a single dock to the company as a whole, taking in individual warehouses. The frequency of the report, as well as its recipients, is fully customisable. That way, everyone (internal and external) covered by the report can have access to the information.

Taken together, we enable an overall analysis of the impact of each project that has a direct bearing on operations. In short: we have reliable information for introducing corrective action and running warehouses that make optimal use of their resources.
