With complex workflows involving port pickups, cargo stripping, yard storage, and final dispatch, logistics managers can no longer rely on manual data entry and shared Excel files to manage operations.
Scanflow mobile scanning SDK solution brings a practical, scalable, and easy-to-adopt answer to these challenges helping freight and trucking companies eliminate inefficiencies, reduce errors, and gain complete control over container and cargo workflows.
Manual Processes, Limited Visibility
