Logistics & Distribution

Align factory readiness with delivery windows customers actually expect

Plan routes to homeowners, dealers and site teams with live links to production status — so trucks leave with complete consignments, not apology calls.

Delivery scheduling tied to WIP, vehicles and installation calendars.

Expect by the end of 2026 or sooner
Logistics dispatch board scheduling window deliveries aligned with fabrication production status

Delivery promises and factory reality drift apart

Sales confirms Tuesday install while dispatch discovers missing sashes still in glaze at Monday 4pm.

Without logistics & distribution

  • Route plans built on spreadsheets that don't see today's production holds.
  • Dealer drops partial loads because glass arrived a day later than frames.
  • Install crews arrive on site before the consignment left the yard.
  • Proof of delivery lives in camera rolls instead of the job record.

With logistics & distribution

  • Delivery slots respect production readiness and component completeness.
  • Route boards group jobs by geography, vehicle type and crew skill.
  • Customers and dealers get realistic windows tied to live WIP.
  • POD and exception notes attach to orders for service and finance.

When dispatch flies blind

  • Crane hire booked before units pass QC — costly reschedule.
  • Façade panels ship without brackets because picking wasn't consolidated.
  • Dealer warehouse rejects a load missing one handle set for the whole batch.
  • Saturday emergency runs erode margin because weekday routes were overloaded.
  • Installation teams waste hours waiting on partial deliveries.

When delivery plans match the floor

  • Readiness gates block dispatch until required units scan complete.
  • Multi-drop routes optimise miles and unload sequence.
  • Dealer vs direct vs site delivery rules with different lead buffers.
  • Mobile POD capture with photos and signature on the job card.
  • Exception workflow for damage, shortage and redelivery scheduling.

Distribution built for fenestration deliveries

Oversized, fragile, multi-component loads need more than a generic courier label.

Delivery scheduling linked to order, unit and install appointment.

Route planning with vehicle capacity and unload constraints.

Dealer, direct and commercial site delivery profiles.

Integration with in-factory staging and vehicle assignments.

Customer notifications with confirmed delivery windows.

POD, damage reports and redelivery tasks in one thread.

Cost and on-time metrics by route, driver and customer type.
