The operational record

Gate. Warehouse. Documents. Release.
One source of truth.

The lifecycle · one record

Every load moves through six states.

Each transition has exactly one owning desk and leaves a timestamp. This is the spine the whole product runs on, the gate, the floor and the office all read the same record.

State 01
Not Arrived
Planning

Loads land from your ERP or a CSV import, before the gate opens.

State 02
Arrived
Gate

Gate matches plate & container against the plan, then marks Arrived.

State 03
Ready at Dock
Warehouse

Warehouse calls the truck forward and assigns its ramp.

State 04
Loading
Warehouse

Start Loading runs a live timer the whole floor can read.

State 05
Loaded
Documents

Finish Loading hands the slot to the Documents desk.

State 06
Exited
Documents

Docs cleared, packet printed, release recorded, truck departs.

Running alongside

Before a truck is ever marked Arrived, the driver can self check in from a QR code. Every request lands in the Approval Inbox, where the first operator action wins, approved or rejected, so nobody reaches the gate unverified.

Before / After

The yard, before Axon. And after.

Before
  • ×Spreadsheet by the gate, paper at the dock, ERP on the desk.
  • ×Radio chatter just to find out which truck is loading.
  • ×A call at 18:00 asking where the CMR is.
  • ×A binder of evidence when something goes wrong.
  • ×Three different answers to “is the truck released?”
After
  • One governed record per truck, every desk on the same page.
  • A wallboard the floor reads from across the warehouse.
  • CMR auto issued the second documents are cleared.
  • A frozen, signed timeline, exportable in one click.
  • One page tells you exactly where the truck is.

How it works

A day in the yard, end to end.

Follow one truck, from planned to released. Seven steps, each owned by exactly one desk, each leaving a timestamp.

1 Planning

The day arrives pre planned.

Loads land from your ERP or a CSV import, every truck, plate and time window, ready before the gate opens.

  • Import via REST, SFTP or Excel
  • One governed record per truck
  • Filter by date, status, customer or plate
Command Center
2 Driver

The driver checks in from a QR.

No app, no login. The driver scans a code and confirms reference, plate and container, with zero PII exposure.

  • Public, tokenized check in page
  • Confirms reference, plate & container
  • Status updates by email
Driver check-in
3 Approval · self check in

Operations approves the check in.

Each self check in lands in the Approval Inbox. An operator approves or rejects it, the first action wins, so only verified loads move forward.

  • Every self check in becomes an approval request
  • First operator action wins, approved or rejected
  • An approval email + QR slip goes back to the driver
Approval Inbox
4 Gate

Gate matches identifiers and admits.

Plate and container are matched against the plan. Any mismatch is flagged before the truck moves, and the arrival is timestamped.

  • Planned vs detected plate & container
  • Mismatch & unknown arrival flags
  • One deliberate action, Mark Arrived
Gate Desk
5 Warehouse

Called to the dock, then loaded.

The warehouse calls the truck to its ramp and runs loading on a live timer the whole floor can read, Ready at Dock, Loading, Loaded.

  • Call to Dock → Start → Finish Loading
  • Live per slot loading timer
  • Dock queue pressure at a glance
Warehouse Desk
6 Documents

Documents cleared, CMR issued.

Upload proof and mark documents ready. The branded CMR generates itself, and the driver is notified the moment docs are cleared.

  • Multi file upload · required docs checklist
  • Template driven CMR, stamped & signed
  • Mark Docs Ready notifies the driver
Documents Desk
7 Release · email

Released, and auto emailed to everyone.

Release is recorded in the full slot. Then a branded email, with the approval and a PDF packet, lands with the driver, the customer and customs. Nobody chases paperwork at six in the evening.

  • Exit / Release recorded in the full slot
  • Branded PDF packet + QR release slip
  • Auto emailed to driver, customer & customs
Release email
One sealed record

Everything ends up in one place.

When the truck leaves, the work doesn't vanish into a spreadsheet. It becomes a governed record, timestamped, tagged and defensible.

The full slot record
The full slot

Open it, and see the whole life of the load.

A timestamp on every state change, every document, every tag and special note, the transport acceptance and any damage claims, plus a tamper evident audit trail of who did what, and when.

  • A timestamp for every action, Arrived, Loaded, Exited
  • Tags, priority & special notes shown to every desk
  • Frozen & exportable, CSV and branded PDF
Claim Review inbox
Claims

Claims, reviewed before release.

When something arrives damaged, log a claim with photo proof and resolve it in one inbox. Release stays blocked until it's cleared, so the dispute never leaves the yard.

  • Damage claims logged on the slot
  • Photo proof & a review workflow
  • Release blocked until resolved
Settings, branding, policies and audit
Branding & policies

Make it yours. Keep it compliant.

Your logo on every PDF, your CMR template, your vocabulary of tags, plus sign in policy, station PINs, 2FA, GDPR terms and a complete audit log, all from one settings shell.

  • Branding · logo, colours & CMR template
  • Sign in policy, station PINs & 2FA
  • GDPR terms · full audit & activity log
Wallboard

The pulse of the yard, on every screen.

A 15 second refresh wallboard that gives gate, warehouse and documents the same operational truth as the back office. No desk required.

Axon Wallboard
Fits your stack

Works alongside your ERP. Replaces the spreadsheet, not the system.

Inbound

Loads, plates, drivers, slots. REST or SFTP CSV.

Outbound

Signed events, branded PDF, CMR, audit trail.

Identity

SSO via SAML or OIDC · audit log on Enterprise.

Floor

Weighbridge, ANPR, dock sensors via webhook adapters.

Floor · 15s

Wallboard

Full screen, colour coded, timer driven live board. Readable across a 20 metre warehouse. No desk required.

Driver

Tokenized check in

Governance

Release, locked

Every action signs itself

Who, when and why, on the slot timeline, sealed at release. A live activity feed across every desk, exportable to CSV and PDF.

Executive

In the spirit of honesty

What Axon doesn't do.

A short list. We're better at running the yard because we don't try to be everything.

Not

An ERP replacement

We don't own purchase orders, invoicing or master data. Your ERP keeps that crown, Axon hands it a clean, signed handoff at the slot boundary.

Not

A route optimizer

We don't pick lanes, plan multi stops, or quote freight. We govern what happens once a truck arrives at your yard, that's the slice we do well.

Not

A carrier appointment system

Booking slots with carriers happens upstream of us. Axon takes the appointment as input and runs it from the moment the truck rolls through your gate.

Subscription

Priced to your operation. Not your seat count.

Axon is delivered as an annual subscription. Plans scale by yard, not user, because the whole yard runs on one record.
