Holocene now treats the delivery as one tracking unit:

  • It combines the value of the delivery,

  • Treats items in warehouse and packaging as a combined unit.

  • It even allows for load planning optimization.

Planning Consolidated Loads

Step 6: Delivery Management. The trade layer automation applies to the consolidated delivery, automatically assigning the correct workflow and documents, such as transport documents or packing lists, to a unique delivery combining all orders.

Step 7: Load Planning

By treating the delivery as one unit, combining the different packaging units, Holocene allows planning consolidation directly at the Warehouse at pallet level.

Based on this, it even allows your logistics team to organize and plan your container load, so you can make the best decision on logistics in real-time.

Step 7: Once the delivery has been processed and the appropriate documents added as per trade lane, click Dispatch Delivery to track the consolidated orders as one delivery unit.
