Real‑Time Shipment Verification With RFID
How a national logistics provider eliminated mis‑shipments, improved dock accuracy, and gained real‑time visibility into pallet movement.
The Challenge: Wrong Pallets, Wrong Trailers
Barcode scanning was inconsistent during peak volume, leading to high mis-shipment rates and no live visibility for supervisors.

Phase 1: RFID‑Enabled Staging
Pallets were tagged at packing, allowing fixed readers to capture arrival in staging areas and validate door assignments automatically.
Phase 2: Trailer Load Verification
RFID portals at outbound dock doors ensured trailers could not be closed until all expected pallets were detected and verified.
The Results: Zero Guesswork, Zero Mis‑Shipments
99.9%Outbound Accuracy
85%Faster Verification
4.3 MoFull ROI
By automating staging and outbound verification, the provider eliminated loading errors and significantly reduced labor costs.
