Introduction to Facilities
We refer to facilities as headquarters, locations, warehouses, factories, industrial complexes, or distribution centers owned by a shipper. In short, these are locations that are a major center of activity for a shipper and will therefore be used regularly in the management of their shipments.
Benefits of registering your facilities with FleetRocket
Facilities are typically stable over time; they're not elements that vary daily.
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 typically includes information such as arrival and check-in instructions, available schedules, arrival systems, contact information for responsible persons and escalations, tax IDs, and much more.
For this reason, it's extremely important to take a few minutes to correctly fill out these facilities in your profile in the system.
By fully completing all these important aspects for successful shipment appointments and having them correctly mapped in your facility profile in your system account:
- You'll no longer have to manually share or send relevant facility information every time you use it.
- Additionally, since they are typically the origin or destination of shipments, your shipment creation process will be much faster and more efficient, allowing you to conveniently select facilities as the origin and destination of your shipments with just a few clicks.
- This reduces human error and confusion due to data sharing errors.
- Furthermore, since they are created by you with accurate and truthful knowledge of their locations and entry points, you can enjoy the automation of your loads thanks to automatic status changes based on geofences.
