Distribution
Inbound, Outbound and Transport cover the three places a distribution day breaks. Each is licensed on its own. The reason to take them from one supplier is that the line between them never breaks.
UI-01 · One record, gate to store
Real screen here (16:10, sanitised). One load followed from booking at the gate to delivery at the store, on a single record. Screen to confirm with Trackmatic
Trackmatic system
One system, not three.
Zero handovers.
With Trackmatic there is nothing to hand over. The same record carries the vehicle from the gate to the store and back.
Today, in most distribution operations
Three systems, two handoversSystem one
Yard and booking
Often a spreadsheet, a mailbox and a security register at the gate.
System two
Warehouse and floor
The WMS releases the pick and then stops watching. The floor is managed by eye.
System three
Transport and tracking
Receives a plan it cannot question and reports against it afterwards.
With Trackmatic
Nothing re-keyed, nothing retypedInbound
Onto your site
Booked, gated and timed.
Outbound
Across your floor
Swept, built and loaded.
Transport
Out to your stores
Executed and confirmed.
One record
Eight moments,
recorded once.
Eight moments decide whether a delivery is on time and whether a vehicle was worth running. Each one is recorded once, by the same system, in the same place.
Slot booked
Against the order, before the truck leaves.
01 · InboundGate pass scanned
Expected, on time, permitted to enter.
02 · InboundReceived into bay
Against the activity the bay was scheduled for.
03 · InboundOn the floor
Known and located the moment the WMS lets go.
04 · OutboundBuilt into a run
From what is standing there, not from this morning’s assumption.
05 · OutboundLoaded and sealed
What actually went on, bound to the vehicle and the route.
06 · OutboundExecuting to plan
Sequence, arrival times and geofences, your fleet or your carrier.
07 · TransportDelivered
Confirmed against the run that was issued.
08 · TransportWhat changes
What stops, and what
you can finally measure.
Each module carries its own measures, and each one is taken on your floor, against your own baseline.
Inbound
Every supplier delivery onto your site, booked before it leaves, gated on arrival and timed from gate to bay to gate.

Integration
Integrates with your WMS,
ERP and planning system.
It does not replace any of them, and it does not ask you to.
Your ERP
Purchase orders stay where they are. Suppliers book their slots against them before the vehicle leaves.
Your WMS
Stays your warehouse system. Trackmatic picks up each consignment at goods issue, the moment the WMS lets go.
Your planning system
Stays your plan. Outbound sits downstream of it and corrects for the floor, the one thing a plan written yesterday cannot do.
How delivery goes
Five steps, and you
sign each one.

Where to start
Start where your operation
is losing time.
Each module is licensed on its own, and most operations start with one. The record is shared whichever you take.
01 · Inbound
Start at the gate
If your supplier deliveries arrive when they like and your yard absorbs it.
Explore Inbound02 · Outbound
Start on the floor
If stock is goods issued and then stands.
Explore Outbound03 · Transport
Start on the road
If you cannot tell whether a run is going to plan until it is over.
