Delivery Tracking for Manufacturing
Transform your manufacturing delivery tracking with custom automation built by Harvard-educated experts. Measurable outcomes in 4-8 weeks, backed by 98% client retention.
Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our manufacturing clients achieve with delivery tracking.
Early warning of shipment delays allows production planning to adjust schedules or source alternative materials before the manufacturing line is affected.
Structured digital receiving with automated certificate verification reduces the time materials spend on the dock before being available for production.
Automated supplier delivery and quality performance tracking provides objective data for supplier negotiations and sourcing decisions.
The Challenge
Common delivery tracking challenges facing manufacturing businesses.
Production lines stopping because raw material shipments were delayed and no one tracked the ETA against the production schedule
International shipments clearing customs without anyone at the factory being notified, leading to materials sitting at the freight forwarder depot
Quality inspection bottlenecks at goods receipt because certificates of analysis are checked manually against specification documents
Supplier performance discussions based on anecdotal evidence because delivery and quality data is not systematically captured
Implementation
How we implement delivery tracking for your manufacturing business.
Raw Material Shipment Tracking
Inbound raw material and component shipments from domestic and international suppliers are tracked from dispatch through customs clearance to factory gate delivery, with ETAs communicated to production planning.
- ✓ Tools: DEAR Inventory, Make, Google Sheets
Production Schedule Impact Assessment
Shipment ETAs are automatically compared against production schedules to identify potential material shortages that could affect manufacturing runs, with early warning alerts to production managers.
- ✓ Tools: Make, Cin7, Slack
Goods Receipt and Quality Inspection
Arriving materials are received through a structured goods receipt process that includes quantity verification, certificate of analysis checking, sample inspection against quality specifications, and batch lot recording.
- ✓ Tools: DEAR Inventory, SafetyCulture, Make
Inventory Allocation and Supplier Scorecard
Inspected materials are allocated to production orders, supplier delivery performance is recorded on the supplier scorecard, and any non-conformances trigger supplier corrective action requests.
