1. Pickup Calendar Introduction
The Pickup Calendar is a logistics management tool used to schedule and track the pickup of shipments from a warehouse or shipping location. It provides a clear, date-based view of all scheduled pickups, allowing warehouse teams to stay organized and ensure that carriers are informed when shipments are ready. By using this calendar, businesses can streamline their shipping operations, reduce manual coordination, and avoid missed pickups or delays.
The Pickup Calendar is a simple tool that helps warehouses plan and manage when shipments are ready to be picked up. This calendar is mainly used to let the shipping carrier know that the shipment is ready and they can come to collect it from the warehouse.
This calendar specifically displays orders from the primary shipping channel, excluding those handled by carriers like DRT Transport, who manage pickups independently. When a pickup is scheduled, details such as the carrier name, shipping location, and number of orders are shown. The calendar also supports scheduling actions like "Create Pickup" and "Cancel Pickup," offering a simple interface to update pickup status and coordinate directly with the shipping carriers.
