STARS “ (Shipment Tracking and Re-routing System)

STARS enables BCG Logistics to monitor large shipments from a manufacturer’s (customer’s) warehouse to a DC, and then manage the distribution of smaller shipments to retail destinations. This is done with FTP data transfers between the manufacturer’s server computer and a STARS Server at the DC. Using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, STARS can automatically consolidate orders with common destinations and assign the cheapest shipping rates in less than sixty seconds. This saves a lot of time for Freight Auditors who would normally use an Excel-based or paper-based system.

A Microsoft .NET STARS Web Interface allows authorized users to securely query shipment data by date, manifest, and shipment method from anywhere with an Internet connection and a 128-bit browser. Shipment details and live carton tracking is available by drilling down into a shipment. Custom web-based reports are available using Microsoft Reporting Services. These reports can be easily exported to several of the most popular formats including Excel.

Using one or more Windows Mobile 2003 devices (PDA) all carton barcodes are scanned as received and shipped. The PDAs use a wireless network to communicate live with the STARS SQL Server in the warehouse.
