We cut misses on JIT produce by tying geofenced ELD pings to a 20-minute dock-prep rule and giving remote QA live temp-logger access, so pallets get cleared before the truck fully backs in. It works, @Guide, but if the store won’t accept an off-cycle drop you’ll eat detention — — so we keep a backup cross-dock within 10 miles as a pressure valve. Small tip: add a simple “ETA slips >18 min = auto-bump to next wave” rule and notify the ripening room, saves a lot of scrambling.
