Dock congestion on the day
Three trucks arrive at the same dock at 06:00. One is yours, one is catering, one is the rigging sub. No one planned for the overlap; everyone waits.
Logistics Coordination
The logistics coordination layer. Transport scheduling, dock management, equipment tracking, and cross-venue freight coordination β every hand-off logged, every location known, every conflict caught before truck roll.
Mega-event logistics is hundreds of trucks across dozens of venues over a few weeks. Dock windows collide. Gear gets mis-routed. Chain of custody evaporates. Logistics brings physical movement under the same operational discipline as the rest of the platform.
Three trucks arrive at the same dock at 06:00. One is yours, one is catering, one is the rigging sub. No one planned for the overlap; everyone waits.
Audio kit meant for Arena B routes to Arena C. The venue team discovers it during sound check. The chase burns three hours of the schedule.
Load-out gear needs to get back to the warehouse by Monday for the next event. By Tuesday, nobody can say which truck it left on or where it is now.
A generator goes from Venue A to Venue D on day 2. No one updates the inventory. Day 4, someone tries to book it for Venue A again.
Every capability ties truck, dock, and gear to the venues they're serving β so the logistics system knows the show, not just the shipment.
Truck routing, dock allocation, and time-slot management across every venue in the event footprint. One schedule, zero dock-window collisions.
Per-venue dock capacity, assignment windows, and real-time arrival tracking. The dock isn't overbooked because the schedule won't let it be.
Scan-in / scan-out across warehouses and venues. Every asset has a location and a history β not a rumor.
Priority-aware routing with dependency handling β the gear that has to arrive first, arrives first.
What's on the truck, what's on the dock, what's in the warehouse β one inventory, surfaced wherever the decision gets made.
A pack list that respects dock order, truck capacity, and unload sequence. No more re-packing on the warehouse floor at 4am.
Every hand-off logged. Every signature captured. Every shortage ties back to the step that caused it.
Dock overlaps, capacity breaches, missed dependencies β surfaced before the morning briefing, not after the truck rolls.
Connected by Design
Produce schedules load-in windows. Infrastructure lists the gear. Dispatch sends the work orders. Logistics is the layer that makes sure the right truck arrives at the right dock with the right freight β then actualizes the cost back into Budget.
Inbound β data flowing into Logistics
Produce locks load-in and load-out windows β Logistics inherits the time constraints and routes trucks to respect them.
produce.schedule_changedInfrastructure's BOM lists the gear per venue β Logistics takes it as the freight manifest for cross-venue moves.
vip.bom_approvedOutbound β events Logistics publishes
Freight actuals post back to Budget with source attribution β every shipment ties to the event, venue, and cost category that created it.
logistics.shipment.completedEvery Logistics specialist is advisory β scans, proposes, and cites the constraints behind every recommendation. The dispatcher decides; the specialist shows its work.
Finds overlap between truck arrivals, dock capacity, and turn-around windows. Surfaces the conflict with the truck and dock driving it.
Proposes truck routes that respect unload sequence and dock capacity. Every route cites the constraints it satisfied.
Flags assets whose scanned location doesn't match the dispatch record β the gap between what the system thinks and what the crew actually did.
Checks pack lists against truck capacity, unload order, and venue dock limits before the doors close at the warehouse.
