Logistics providers and the logistics functions of shippers run on time windows: the dock slot a carrier books, the shipment that will miss its date, the container that leaves half empty, the warehouse that overflows in week 12.
Logistics providers and the logistics functions of shippers run on time windows: the dock slot a carrier books, the shipment that will miss its date, the container that leaves half empty, the warehouse that overflows in week 12. The systems are the ERP, a warehouse and a transport system, carrier APIs and a lake. The apps that matter most are dock scheduling with the gate check-in on a phone, shipment exception recovery, cycle count exceptions, returns authorisation and the decision apps where planners review what the models recommend and release the accepted ones.
Each opens its catalogue entry, with the objects read in each system.
Lets a customer request a return, checks eligibility against the order line and the warranty, creates the return order, and releases the credit once the goods arrive.
Lets carriers book dock slots against inbound orders and dock capacity, checks trucks in at the gate, re-slots late arrivals and posts the goods receipt from the dock.
Finds deliveries that will miss the customer's requested date, shows the cause, offers expedite, split or a new date, and records the customer's confirmation on the order.
Turns a count that differs from the book quantity by more than the tolerance into a case: recount, investigate the movements, post the adjustment from the floor.
Takes a manual journal entry with its support documents through checks, review and approval by amount band, and posts it to the ledger on approval.
Runs the close as a shared checklist per entity and day, with each task's status read from the ledger and every sign-off recorded.
Runs a new hire's onboarding as one case: HR, the manager, IT and facilities complete their tasks by day, so the hire arrives to a working laptop, access and badge.
Approves expense reports within policy by rule and routes the exceptions to the manager and then finance, with the decision returned to Workday within seconds.
Takes a safety or environmental incident from a report on a phone through classification, investigation and corrective actions to closure, with the regulator report where the rules require one.
Handles access requests with the manager's and the system owner's approval, provisions the group in ServiceNow, and runs the quarterly review of every access granted.
Runs the weekly change advisory board on the live change calendar: every change with its risk, conflicts and affected services, and the decision written back to the change request.
The apps read whichever of the listed systems you run; each catalogue entry has a page per system with the objects and the write path.
Each app is 2 to 10 working days to production-grade; bundles run in waves of three or four apps.
The story linked above describes an engagement; a reference conversation can be arranged with the account owner's approval.
Bring one process from your industry; the demonstration runs the app on data shaped like yours, on the systems you run.
