CHEP Australia has launched a trial of mobile technology that will enable users to transfer equipment accountability as merchandise passes through their receipt and dispatch docks.
The technology, designed to be used anywhere, anytime and on any device, helps CHEP customers save time and labour when completing equipment hire transactions, something that happens most days in most businesses across Australia.
Rather than filling out manual dockets and entering them into a computer back at the office, customers will now be able to complete transfers live on CHEP’s customer portal from an Android, Windows or Apple mobile device.
The company says manufacturers and retailers testing the mobile equipment transfer technology are hoping to experience increased efficiencies as they enter the Christmas peak season, with the trial running through to the end of November 2014.
