PHS Teacrate’s Crate Agent App is a unique smartphone application that makes hiring and tracking crates easier for facilities managers, office managers and removal companies.
The app is another innovative solution for businesses to effectively manage their barcoded crates, providing real-time information on deliveries and collections and giving greater transparency and visibility of crates in general.
Facilities and office managers can use the barcode app to provide further traceability to complement their internal procedures. Managers will be able to record crate movements and locate crates within their organisation at the touch of a screen through the use of handheld devices, smartphones and tablets even if they are not at their desks or department.
They can have PHS Teacrate’s barcoded crates delivered onto site, scan and record the allocation for their buildings as well as attach an inventory list to any barcode. This means that they will have complete visibility of where any crate is located and can therefore identify which departments or individuals are incurring charges due to losing or failing to return crates.
By using the app, facilities and office managers can have all the information they need at their fingertips on the delivery and collection of barcoded crates, minimising costs that can be incurred for missing crates.
Once downloaded, the app can be tailored to suit a company’s specific requirements, especially useful for customers who need crate information if dealing with priceless or fragile items from organisations such as government, museums and universities.
It’s an addition to the paperless solution for providing vital delivery and collection information which can either be automatically emailed directly to the customer or accessed via Cratelink, PHS Teacrate’s portal login.
PHS Teacrate’s barcoded items that the Crate Agent App can be used to identify are lidded containers LC1B, LC2B, LC3B, LC6B and computer crates IT1B and IT2B and roll cages (SC1B).
PHS Teacrate, which forms part of the PHS Group, handles around 25 million crates every year in a variety of dimensions and sectors.
