This section provides an overview of how to configure and manage the Serialized Logistics application. The Serialized Logistics application supports companies in carrying out transfer, verification, and other logistics-related activities in their warehouses and reporting these activities to the market (when applicable).


The workflows below illustrate typical use cases for the user. The description is not exhaustive and is not meant to be exhaustive. The goal is to help the users to get an idea of how to use the application for certain activities.


IMPORTANT:

  • In the below use cases, we assume that you have already activated the Serialized Logistics application in Movilitas.Cloud. For certain cases, the Reports & Analysis application also needs to be activated in Movilitas.Cloud. This is a one-time activity when you start your journey with Movilitas.Cloud. For more information, see Enabling Applications for a Tenant.
  • For users that have the “User” role, the administrators of the tenant can configure access to the Serialized Logistics application but this is optional. In this way, the administrators can customize the available functions for each user that have the “User” role. For more information, see Roles and Access to the Serialized Logistics Application.
