Gaylords
Scan shipping labels into gaylords for carrier pickup using the mobile app.
Gaylords List
The gaylords screen shows all gaylords for the current warehouse. Use the segment control to filter by Open, Closed, or All.
Each gaylord displays:
- Carrier name with color-coded left border
- Gaylord number and name
- Number of scanned labels
- Status badge (Open or Closed)
Quick Scan
Quick Scan lets you scan any shipping label and assign it to a gaylord without opening a specific gaylord first.
- Tap Quick Scan from the gaylords list
- Scan a shipping label barcode
- The system looks up the label and finds open gaylords matching that carrier in the current warehouse
- Select which gaylord to add the label to
This is useful when processing mixed-carrier packages. Scan each label, and the system routes it to the correct gaylord.
