Warehouse · Transit shed

Packages, scans and a counter.

A shipping-line agent’s shed has no declarations and no lots. Packages arrive on a manifest, get a label and a bay, clear or wait, and are collected at the counter once the officer releases them. Same module, with the tabs that place needs.

01 Manifests

A manifest is a voyage.

Paste the line’s spreadsheet and its packages are expected. They are in the shed once scanned in, and the manifest is complete when every package has gone.

QR labels
One label per package and per bay, printed from the manifest.
Scan packages in
Each label scanned against the voyage it belongs to.

02 Packages

Everything the counter needs to answer the phone.

One row per package: whose it is, what it is, where it is, how long it has been there and whether it is cleared. Every scan, move, hold and collection is on the package with who and when.

Unclaimed
Packages over 30 days turn amber, here and on Home.
On hold
A held package goes to quarantine and cannot be collected until released.
Packages: consignee, goods, pieces, bill of lading, vessel and voyage, bay, days in shed and status.

03 Where things are

A bay plan that keeps itself.

Bays, barrels, cages and quarantine. Each place says what is in it and how long the oldest package has sat there. A scan moves a package and the plan follows.

Place labels
Print them once and stick them on the racks.
Oldest first
A place turns amber when its oldest package passes 30 days.
The bay plan: packages and pieces in each place, and the oldest.

04 Scan

Built for a phone at the dock.

Three big buttons, one field and the last ten scans, so the clerk can see what they just did. Any phone camera reads the label, or use an Android scanner.

Scan in, move, scan out
One screen for every movement on the floor.
Expected count
Says how many of the voyage’s packages are still to come.
The scan screen on a phone: scan in, move, scan out, the label field and the last ten scans.

05 Collect

The counter beside the officer.

The consignee gives a name or a phone number. The counter sees what is cleared and waiting, takes the storage and the duty receipt the officer wrote, and hands the package over.

Day sheet
Storage taken and duty receipts, by day, kept apart: the shed’s money and Customs’ money.
Unclaimed list
Who has waited longest, with a note on every call.
The collection counter: find the consignee, see their cleared packages, and the unclaimed list beside it.
