How to improve cargo inspections using your smartphone

Jun 30, 2021

Let's picture an inspection day in your operations. You receive cargo, you need to know how the goods were loaded and inspect for damages and loss. Nowadays, many companies collect this data using digital cameras, phones, and paper checklists and then share this information with customers or others via email or WhatsApp. 


In this process, a lot can go wrong. Just picture the disappointment of losing all the photographs and data you’ve accumulated from your shipment. It’s certainly not an enjoyable experience. Additionally, chasing the responsible co-worker who manually collected all this information can be a challenge in your daily operation. To avoid these issues start performing visual inspections and have all data in one place.


Here are the most common visual data points your team should gather: 


  • Unique Reference - order numbers, bill of lading number, containers, seals, etc.
