label and ASN readiness

Align barcode, carton, ASN, and invoice data

Cogential IT ensures that every shipping label and packing slip matches the ASN data, eliminating Formex receiving errors and chargebacks.

01

Carton label compliance

Labels must contain SSCC-18 barcodes and match ASN carton details exactly to avoid receiving rejection.

02

Packing slip data integrity

Packing slips replicate line items and quantities from the PO and ASN, ensuring manual checks pass.

03

ASN label synchronization

The ASN references each label’s tracking number, enabling Formex’s automated receiving system to process smoothly.

Barcode scanner testing

We simulate warehouse scans to verify all barcodes are readable and data flows correctly into Formex’s WMS.
