When you equip a pallet, warehouse, or forklift truck with a mobile weighing system, you can experience the benefits of weighing while transporting materials. There are no more interruptions in your logistics process as you weigh while on the go.

 

An added benefit to a mobile weighing system is that it can be certified Legal for Trade so that you can charge your customers by weight. 

 

Would purchasing a mobile 'Legal for Trade' weighing system add value to your company? According to RAVAS customers, Legal for Trade weighing systems improve their logistics processes and protect them from losing potential revenue.

We are happy to take you through concrete examples

Four examples where our systems make a big difference

#1 Corrective measurements harm effectiveness

Most logistics carriers invoice their customers based on the weight and volume passed as provided by their customers. However, in many cases, the information provided needs to be corrected. When this occurs, the carrier must perform corrective weighing — usually with static floor scales and a tape measurer.

Optimizing the process with a mobile Legal for Trade weighing system allows our logistics customers to perform corrective weighing where it is most effective. As a result, they save time and money. No longer dependent on a centrally located static scale means the customer can reduce unnecessary trips through the warehouse. In addition, they can invoice their customers the correct amount for the goods they are transporting.

#2 All weighing data is error-free and available in real-time in an ERP system or WMS

A company that actively stores containers of personal belongings invoices based on the weight of a specific container. All containers are weighed with a static scale at a central point in the vast warehouse. The weighing data is recorded with pen and paper and manually entered into an ERP or WMS.

A mobile weighing system will allow the business to manage containers more efficiently. They will also be able to use the weighing system with our RAVAS data management solutions to link all weighing data generated to their ERP system or WMS. As a result, the mobile weighing system will dramatically improve their measurements' speed and accuracy.

#3 About 15% of all freight is underbilled

Many companies RAVAS works with tell us that their customers often inaccurately record shipment weights, cutting their revenue. Recent research has shown that nearly 15% of all freight is under-invoiced.

By integrating mobile weighing into a logistics process, companies can minimize time losses and reduce the 15% under-invoiced transactions to 0%. Invoicing their customers with the correct amount positively impacts sales and profits.

#4 Make sure your supplier has supplied you with the right one

By weight, you can check whether your supplier has delivered the right thing to you. For example, one of our customers, a dog food producer, suspected that it sometimes received the wrong amount of raw product. After checking by weight, it turned out that every delivery of 2200 pounds always had a deviation of 6 to 7 pounds. In fact, our customer was paying its supplier too much for the raw products. After adopting RAVAS mobile weighing systems, the supplier could be held accountable for every delivery. As a result, not only did the quality of the dog food go up, but the production costs also went down.

Another production company making chocolate knocked on RAVAS's door. Thanks to our mobile weighing solutions, they can now invoice their customers according to the weight of the chocolate they deliver. So not only did the accuracy of deliveries go up - after all, 175 lbs. is now really 175 lbs. - the accuracy of the amounts to be invoiced also improved.
