Introduction to Facilities

By facilities we mean those facilities, headquarters, locations, warehouses, factories, industrial complexes or cedis that a shipper has. In short, those locations where there is an important center of activity for a shipper, and which will therefore be used on a recurring basis in the management of its shipments.

Benefits of registering your Facilities in Fr8App

Facilities are usually stable over time, they are not elements that vary on a daily basis.

Furthermore, a facility is much more complex than a simple location on a map. When a facility is used as an origin or destination for a shipment, it usually includes information on arrival and check-in instructions, available schedules, arrival systems, contacts of responsible persons and escalations in the facility, fiscal identifiers and much more.

For this reason, it is really important to spend a few minutes to correctly fill in these facilities in your Fr8App profile.

Thanks to filling in completely all these important aspects to make your shipment appointments successful and have them correctly mapped in your facilities profile in your Fr8App account:

• You no longer have to manually share or send the relevant information of an installation each time it is used.
• In addition, as they are usually the origin or destination of the shipments, your shipment creation process will be much faster and more efficient, being able to comfortably choose the facilities as the origin and destination of your shipments with just a few clicks.
• As a result, human error and confusion due to data sharing errors are reduced.
