This is what your working day could look like

6 a.m.: You arrive for the early shift.

First glance at Odoo (ERP): what else needs to be done today? You know exactly where all the pallets/crates are located.

There are still pallets that need to go to the drying chamber, done. Now the factory transport is already driving into the yard for the first load, you load it and make a note of it in Trello. The next lorries are already waiting at the gate and drive in one after the other.

9:30 a.m.: It continues

You get a call from production; they need space and new materials again, so you clear out the produced goods and supply them with the materials. A lorry with long goods is already pulling up, but now you have to hurry because the cutting is already waiting!

12:30 p.m.: Final sprint

A lorry pulls into the yard to pick up the packed goods, just in time, as the guys from the crate construction department have just finished packing them. Okay, everything is ready, the crates can be loaded, you have the packing list in front of you, and you figure out how to load the crates safely and in a space-saving manner.

Done, final check of the load securing and the lorry can leave the yard. Your colleague from the cutting department calls, he urgently needs the OSB boards – let’s go!
