Scan the Pallet, Not Every Box

What container scan-to-deliver does

On a busy parts route, a single stop can include a whole container or pallet of parts. Scanning every box one by one at the door slows the driver down and holds up the customer. Container scan-to-deliver removes that step.

When parts are loaded onto the truck, each container or pallet gets a single shipping label. At the delivery stop, the driver scans that one label and every part inside the container is marked delivered at once. There is no need to open the container or scan each individual box on the doorstep.

How it works, step by step

1. The container or pallet is built during barcode-verified truck loading, so the app already knows which parts are inside it.
2. The container carries one shipping label that represents the whole group of parts.
3. At the stop, the driver opens the delivery and scans that container's shipping label.
4. Every part linked to the container is confirmed delivered in a single action, tagged to its truck bin.
5. The driver captures the usual proof of delivery for the stop — signature and photos — and moves on.

Why it speeds up the route

• Fewer scans per stop. A container of a dozen parts becomes one scan instead of twelve.
• Less time at the door. The customer is not left waiting while the driver works through a stack of boxes.
• Bin awareness is preserved. Every part still records the truck bin it was loaded into, so nothing loses its place in the chain.
• Accuracy holds up. Because the container was built and verified during loading, scanning its label confirms the exact set of parts that belongs at that stop.

When to use it

Container scan-to-deliver is ideal for stops that receive a full pallet or a packed shipping container — wholesale accounts, body shops, and other high-volume customers. For a stop with just a few loose parts, the driver can still scan each part individually or confirm them per the dealership's settings. The two approaches work side by side on the same route.
