This is where we decide which box to put where, at which time and the equipment to pick it up so that everything works together. It will also help you to know where a container is and allocate a piece of equipment to lift the container. That is what the centre set up will help do<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">It gives virtually a better opportunity to collaborate and will help in information sharing among staff. It will also provide space for social distancing because of COVID-19 pandemic and there will be every opportunity for communication.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Faster customer access to cargo<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are targeting about 700 deliveries per day and would like to double that.
