As every beverage distributor knows, the success of any distribution company starts in the warehouse. Just how efficiently and carefully your merchandise is organized and loaded into vehicles can make all the difference between profit and loss. With the rapidly expanding SKUs you must carry, loading becomes more of a challenge. Managing a growing range of incompatible container shapes and sizes, along with various vehicle types and sudden schedule changes, you can quickly find yourself tied up with one crisis after another.

Now you can optimize your loading operations with FleetLoader from Omnitracs Roadnet Technologies. Specifically created to manage the complex needs of large-scale beverage warehouse and delivery operations, this powerful PC-based software solution instantly helps you take the manual guesswork out of your loading process. By

applying FleetLoader’s streamlined approach to efficient stacking and loading, you can clearly define and reach even higher service goals, bringing a greater reliability to your warehouse operations than ever before—and a greater

capacity to your deliveries every day.

Optimizing your operation.While an industry-leading application, FleetLoader can be quickly configured to fit the dynamics of your operation. This tool can adapt to different loading strategies that best reflect your own operational processes. Need to exclude certain package types? Loading both bulk and bay vehicles? Juggling warehouse versus driver-friendly strategies? It’s no problem with FleetLoader.

You start by selecting a loading methodology that’s your best operational fit, and then design loads (including pre-building, staging and exclusions) that integrate seamlessly into final loading and routing. Effective graphical views with drag-and-drop capabilities allow you to analyze and optimize loads by stop and SKU down to the individual truck and bay, while calculating capacities with absolute accuracy. In short, FleetLoader helps you to eliminate many hours wasted on manual load planning, so that you can focus on the real job—managing your operation.

FleetLoader’s advanced systems calculate for the best mixing and stacking of products in a given load, so that the possibility of breakage is dramatically reduced. The result? Your pick sheets get to the warehouse floor sooner, your loads get on the road faster and your customers are happier.

“ We load driver-friendly, and to do that we need an order sheet for the warehouse workers who prepare the orders by stop. We pull the data into FleetLoader, and then forward it to the warehouses. FleetLoader creates pick sheets with big, bold text that our pickers appreciate.”

— Dr. Jeff Gower, CEO

Wil Fischer, Inc.
