Benefits of Scan4Transport standard to industry

  • Improves first and last mile processes through the capture of essential information relating to the transport task from the barcode on the transport label (e.g. when the freight is handled and scanned before the electronic instructions have been received)
  • Enhances sortation through the capture of granular address information including street from the barcode on the transport label
  • Provides visibility of transport task requirements even if the remote IT systems are unavailable for look-up
  • Improved efficiency and interoperability across industry through a standard label across the entire supply chain
  • Enhances delivery accuracy by encoding Ship-to GEO locations (e.g. Construction sites, rural address which do not have a clear/granular street address)
  • Leads to smoother processes and greater customer satisfaction
