real-time weighing data
Mobile weighing in 3PL and 4PL processes
As a logistics service provider, working quickly and accurately is crucial. Customers expect complete transparency, short lead times and a flawless execution of their supply chain. At the same time, the complexity is increasing. You have to deal with different clients, diverse processes, fluctuating volumes and increasingly stringent requirements in the areas of data quality and delivery reliability.
Both 3PL and 4PL providers face the challenge of combining maximum efficiency with maximum flexibility. Especially when you work with multiple warehouses, client environments or IT systems. The right technology can make all the difference. RAVAS helps logistics service providers with mobile weighing solutions that connect perfectly to dynamic, data-driven processes without disrupting daily operations.
Eliminate errors and delays
Why mobile weighing in 3PL and 4PL is a smart move
Many warehouses of 3PL and 4PL providers still work with fixed weighing points. Goods are first picked, then taken to a central scale to check that the weight is correct. This costs valuable time, causes unnecessary driving and increases the risk of errors, especially in busy periods or with high turnover rates.
In addition, weight often plays a role in invoicing to clients or end customers. An incorrect or missing weight can lead to ambiguities, extra checks or even claims. For logistics service providers, this means a loss of time, money and customer satisfaction.
With RAVAS mobile weighing solutions, you can move the weighing moment to the heart of your operation. Whether you are picking, moving or loading, weighing is done directly during the movement and optionally with Legal for Trade certification. This way you avoid delays, reduce the margin of error and always have up-to-date weight data.
