In Practice: How Automation Speeds Up Your Yard Management

Cassol Centerlar, one of the largest retailers in the construction sector, has a presence in Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná for over 60 years. The company was facing challenges with the supply of more than 45 thousand items across over 25 stores.

The main bottleneck identified was in the receiving of goods. That is, the manual process of waiting, typing, and confirming the unloading schedule took up to four hours to complete.

Thus, in a market search, Cassol discovered Tempo Certo and subsequently went through a digitalization process for this stage of its logistics.

Now, the entire process is executed in just 15 minutes. There has been an improvement in communication with suppliers and carriers, in addition to a great evolution in the waiting time for unloading. Schedule organization, order portfolio management, and information reliability were also improved, not to mention real-time control of the loads being processed.

Along with these benefits, the relationship with carriers was also improved. The Tempo Certo system allows for better organization of the unloading waiting time at Cassol. Furthermore, the retailer has greater visibility over its receiving limits in a centralized and methodical manner after implementing the process for managing receiving capacity in both volume and value.

With Tempo Certo, Cassol can quickly resolve specific issues, in addition to receiving suggestions for improvements to the processes carried out at the company, leading to a high degree of satisfaction with the tool.

Benefits of Automated Yard Management

The application of Tempo Certo ensures companies simplified scheduling of recurring deliveries and allows them to request the invoice from the supplier in advance, which facilitates checking and avoids returns. There is also the guarantee that receiving occurs on the days and times most appropriate for the business.

When a retail chain has an integrated Yard Management system, the entire process is simpler. This happens because an integrated schedule and a pre-scheduling system considerably reduce the waiting time for unloading into the stockroom.

Thus, automated Yard Management contributes to a truly efficient organization of this goods receiving process. The less time the truck needs to wait to unload and the fewer issues are registered during the order delivery, the better the experience for the companies.
