The Problem

Manage Harrowing

Three distinct Centric Brand teams use this solution in different but effective ways. By instituting 'need date' Drayage team knows when a container needs to be received into the warehouse for effective distribution; Warehouse team knows how to effectively prioritize receipt when there are multiple 'hot containers' to receive; and finally with freight integration the Allocation team knows how to effectively plan fulfillment when goods are in the water.
