Automated Shipment Verification
Prevent mis-shipments and wrong loads before trucks leave the dock
Industry studies show that nearly $40 billion in global losses occur each year stemming from incorrect loads, re-picks, chargebacks, expedited freight, and lost sales. Despite manual checks and scanning processes, 5-10% of loads contain errors: Wrong pallets loaded onto wrong trucks, Products left behind at the dock, Mixed loads that should go to different destinations, Temperature-sensitive goods sitting too long outside climate control.
Wiliot provides automated mis-shipment detection using battery-free IoT Pixels and minimal lowest cost infrastructure at dock doors. The solution application automatically:
- Identifies incorrect loads within minutes, enabling corrective action
- Generates automated bill of lading - no manual scanning required
- Identifies which pallets are staged at each dock door area
- Tracks dwell time to prevent temperature excursions
- Confirms successful load before truck departure.
Up to 90% reduction in mis-shipments - catching errors before trucks leave
$5M-$30M annual savings across enterprise operations (reduced labor, fewer chargebacks, less expedited shipping)
99%+ load accuracy - consistent verification across all dock doors
60-90 days to measurable value - rapid deployment and ROI
5-10x lower infrastructure cost vs. traditional RFID dock door systems
