🏥 Dispatch Planning Automation for a Leading Medical Devices Manufacturer – A Case Study by CPD Technologies
🏥 Case Study: Dispatch Planning Automation for a Leading Medical Devices Manufacturer
Delivered by: CPD Technologies
🚩 The Challenge
A renowned medical devices manufacturer faced inefficiencies in dispatch planning. While their ERP system handled order tracking, it lacked real-time intelligence to plan dispatches based on stock availability across multiple warehouses. The process was manual, time-consuming, and error-prone.
- Daily planning took several hours of manual checking.
- Stock mismatches led to confusion and shipment delays.
- No centralized logic for warehouse allocation or order prioritization.
- Partial stock situations slowed down order fulfilment.
💡 Leadership Intervention
The management sought a smarter approach to automate dispatch allocation and planning. CPD Technologies studied their existing ERP process and designed a new digital system that would intelligently plan and optimize dispatches in real time.
The objective was clear — to reduce human effort, increase dispatch accuracy, and ensure timely customer deliveries.
⚙️ The Solution: Smart Dispatch Planning Automation
CPD Technologies developed a custom automation layer integrated with the manufacturer’s ERP system. The solution enabled fast, accurate, and automated dispatch planning — transforming the entire order-to-dispatch workflow.
- 🔗 Data Integration: Order and stock details from the ERP are analyzed in real time.
- ⚙️ Smart Allocation Engine: Automatically assigns orders to warehouses based on proximity and stock levels.
- 📦 Partial Fulfilment Logic: Reallocates or partially processes orders when stock is insufficient, ensuring continuity.
- 📊 Instant Dispatch Report: Generates a live report showing source warehouse, order priority, and quantity.
- ✅ Approval Workflow: Managers can instantly approve the suggested plan and trigger dispatch.
🌐 Seamless Integration, Faster Execution
The solution works as an intelligent extension to the ERP, requiring no infrastructure change. Dispatch managers can generate optimized plans in minutes, review them, and execute shipments immediately.
🚀 The Impact
- ⏱ Planning Time Reduced: From several hours to under 10 minutes per day.
- 📦 Optimized Stock Utilization: Auto-balancing across warehouses ensured efficient use of material.
- 💡 Zero Manual Error: Automated logic eliminated dependency on manual planning.
- 🚛 Improved Logistics Efficiency: Smart warehouse allocation reduced transport cost and delays.
- 📈 Transparent Visibility: Unified dispatch view for production, warehouse, and logistics teams.
💬 In Summary
CPD Technologies implemented a real-time Dispatch Planning Automation System that helped a leading medical devices manufacturer optimize warehouse allocation, improve visibility, and transform logistics performance.
This project demonstrates how data intelligence can redefine supply chain efficiency — turning complex ERP processes into seamless, automated workflows.
