Case Study
Overseas Logistics Partners with Zimark to Achieve 100% Loading Accuracy
By partnering with Overseas Logistics, a global leader in freight and supply chain solutions, Zimark continues advancing its mission to enable warehouse shipping excellence.
Background
Overseas Logistics is a 3PL provider, managing storage and shipping for multiple FMCG clients.
The customer’s main pain was knowing that loading was executed correctly. Before Zimark, there was no mechanism to track shipments at the dock door.
They experienced missed pallets and wrong loadings, creating high risk and costly mistakes.
The challenge
Pallets arrived, were barcoded, scanned manually into the WMS, and stored.
When an order came in, operators created a picking list and staged pallets at the dock.
Drivers collected loads manually, signed papers at dispatch, and the warehouse had no way to confirm that the exact right pallets were loaded.
The goals were simple
Eliminate loading errors
Eliminate the need for manual scanning & validation
Optimize load consolidation processes
Enable real-time tracking & visibility
Increase customer satisfaction
Integrate seamlessly within a few days
All while keeping operations running smoothly.
Zimark Solution
Zimark cameras were installed at the dock door for shipping control.
Pallets were labeled with Zimark’s unique color-code stickers linked to the WMS.
At loading, every pallet was tracked by computer vision and compared against the picking list in real time.
A live alert system (green = correct pallet, red = error) ensured zero mistakes.
Proof-of-load was automatically generated as digital evidence for operators.
The Results: Data-Driven Impact
Zimark eliminated uncertainty in shipping, turning a single-dock operation into a “secure vault” where only the correct pallets could exit.
