Products

Products that are regularly moved, you are able to save all information regarding dimensions, pack type, dangerous goods details and product description to allow for faster entering into consignments. Product information can be used to detail what the freight contains. For example when entering a New Consignment and moving a mixed pallet, you can use the STC (Said To Contain) columns and describe what products are included. For Dangerous Goods products, you can save and validate SDS so the carrier has all information about the consignment.
