Logistics & 3PLAnonymised case study — client identity confidential.
Logistics & 3PL · Case study

Every trailer located, every dock reconciled — automatically.

A DC or 3PL can’t see where trailers sit in the yard, and dock-door reconciliation is manual. Drivers and shunters waste time; mis-ships slip through.

Outcomes

What the programme delivered.

−96%

Cycle-count time vs manual counts.

−50%

Trailer dwell with live yard visibility.

~100%

Dock-door load reconciliation accuracy.

Client identity withheld under confidentiality. Figures reflect outcomes from comparable RTLS/RFID deployments; your own numbers depend on use case, environment and execution.

The challenge

Manual yard checks and clipboard dock audits are slow and error-prone. Trailer dwell eats capacity; reconciliation errors cause claims and rework.

Our approach

  • GPS / UWB for yard trailer and shunter location.
  • RAIN RFID dock-door portals for automatic load/unload reconciliation.
  • Geofenced alerts for dwell, detention and mis-spotting.
  • Cycle-count automation for inbound/outbound.
  • Feed events into WMS / YMS for live visibility.

Technology & integration

Stack deployed: GPS + UWB yard location, RAIN RFID dock portals, BLE for returnables.

Integration: WMS, YMS, TMS, carrier / ASN data.
