Project Background

TLD Ramp: Challenges with Damage Tracking

Our client, TLD Ramp, a railroad industry operator specializing in transloading goods, faced false penalties for product damages that occurred before arrival. They introduced a paper-based damage recording system, but it was labor-intensive and prone to errors. The approach involved:

▶The process started with issuing a Billing of Lading (BOL) to record cargo receipt.

▶Employees recorded railcar damages with photos upon arrival.

▶Railcar goods were packed in boxes, each with two quantities per pallet.

▶Employees checked box numbers for damages and recorded in a report.

▶Employees’ damage reports and images were sent to the admin.

▶The admin compiled damage reports and images sent to the client.

Goal

Admin compiled damage reports and images for the client.

▶Allow users to log in and create damage reports with photos.

▶Function offline, with data syncing to the server upon reconnection.

▶Enhance tracking, accuracy, and productivity.

Challenges

Key Technical Challenges

The solution had to support offline functionality for rail yards with poor connectivity, ensuring data could be stored and synced later. Additionally, it needed efficient image capture, compression, storage, and handling multiple uploads per product box without performance issues.
