🚚 Shiprocket Fulfillment: 📦 Efficient Packaging Management with Scan-Based Material Tracking.

To efficiently track the usage of packaging materials, whether provided by Shiprocket or the seller, we’ve introduced a feature that involves scanning these materials. This allows us to precisely monitor and forecast the requirements of packaging materials across all fulfillment centers (FCs).

By scanning packaging materials, we gather real-time data on their consumption throughout our logistics operations. This data not only helps us track current usage but also aids in predicting future demands. This proactive approach ensures that each FC maintains adequate packaging materials, preventing any potential shortages that could disrupt the fulfillment process.

Ultimately, accurate tracking and forecasting of packaging material consumption play a crucial role in ensuring smooth logistics operations, improving customer satisfaction, and optimizing overall efficiency within our fulfillment network.
