Loading Docks

Nearly every receiving dock at every store has a doorbell button. Nearly every bell can't be heard unless someone is nearby... they often are not. That slows deliveries, increases distribution costs, and often results in frustrated drivers interrupting cashiers as they seek someone to open dock doors. That all changes when team members are immediately notified of delivery arrivals via 2-way radios, wireless phones, PDA's, or overhead speakers. Automatic reminders / escalations and chainwide response time metrics help ensure ongoing cost savings in this area.

Refrigeration Doors

In the rush to move pallets in and out of large refrigeration and freezer compartments, doors are sometimes inadvertently left jammed open. This drives up energy costs and, in extreme situations, leads to spoil or even risk management issues due to undetected spoilage. This need not happen. Now in-store and other personnel can be automatically notified when critical doors are left open too long. Additionally, enterprise level reports can be used to confirm compliance chainwide.

Front Door Access

Store personnel arriving during closed hours can find getting the attention of someone to open the front door challenging. This delay is not only frustrating – especially on a cold snowy night – but can create an unsafe situation. A simple button press combined with the power of intelligent event notification is a sure solution to this issue.
