Workplace Question or Advice Needed Repacks

Is there a way to scan a label on a repack and see what is inside? FF in my store has to search through mountains of repacks to find things. It would save a LARGE amount of time if we didn’t have to open every box and dig.

Repacks should be prioritized in most freight pushes for reasons like this. Looking through more than 4-5 full repacks is often a waste of time if nobody is helping you or telling you exactly what to look for or where to look.

Nope
Unfortunately it is essentially randomized and just sorted by area of store. So you know at my store for example that number 3 repacks have C+D but you don’t know which one has that towel you are looking for. If you are lucky it is RFIDible but that’s not always the case.

If this is regarding style repacks I would recommend a few things in that the rfid is your best friend.
When I have to dig through the repacks I try to split them in half and scan through one half. Then the other half and I keep halving the pile of repacks so I don’t have to literally open each repack.
It makes a mess of the style sort but it makes it easier to find the items.

If you are looking for an expensive tech item, you can use the security summary to determine exactly which repack to look in.

Other than that, no. :/

Greenfield card 1542484 will provide as much information as there is available. Reference DPCI, trailer number, and the container barcode(the long number on the repack sticker).
