The challenge

Why this breaks without a TMS

Inbound freight that is not formally receipted creates blind inventory, dock congestion, and billing disputes with suppliers and carriers.

The ZingTMS approach

How we solve it

ZingTMS goods receipt captures GRN quantities, variances, and quality notes, then updates inventory and links evidence to the inbound shipment.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for operations, IT, and finance evaluators.

Can partial receipts be posted?+

Yes. Partial GRNs update inventory for received quantities while leaving balance open for later arrivals.

Does GRN connect to freight settlement?+

Receipt confirmation and damage notes can support detention, accessorial, and claim discussions on the inbound move.

Are blind receipts supported?+

Configured workflows can allow controlled blind receipt when ASN detail is incomplete, with later reconciliation.
