This article provides a comprehensive overview of what Zoho looks like in the Solink platform and how you can use the data from Zoho to supplement your Dashboard.
Solink's integration with Zoho connects your warehouse inventory data to real-time video footage, allowing you to:
Review Packaging Discrepancies for Orders
Compare video footage with shipment data to spot mismatches with the sales order. Then, use the footage to determine if the issue was caused by human error, a scan failure, or a packing process breakdown.
Investigate Return Claims
Link refund data (return reason, amount, items returned) with original shipment events and video footage. Discover potential issues like damaged goods, incorrect packaging, or fraudulent refund claims.
Improve Shipping Accuracy and Reduce Fulfillment Errors
Track the fulfillment workflow from sales order to delivery confirmation. Use timestamped video at packaging stations to confirm that items were scanned and packed at the right times and in the correct quantities, validating against Zoho’s recorded shipment status and quantities.
Recommended Camera Placement
Ensure cameras clearly capture packing tables and/or conveyor belts from above. The camera view should include the full packing area in order to capture item scanning and boxing activities.
