DEPARTMENT UPDATE

Paperless Processes and Future Development Blish-Mize continues advancing its electronic capabilities, with plans to achieve 100% electronic delivery confirmation by the end of 2025 where Department of Transportation regulations permit. “We’re utilizing scan technology with the driver’s tablets to verify that they delivered everything that we put on the truck,” Clark says. Drivers scan barcodes for pallets, loose items and individual pieces and then capture electronic signatures for seamless delivery confirmation. These technological investments position Blish-Mize to offer independent retailers the kind of sophisticated logistics and inventory management typically associated with larger operations while maintaining the personalized service that defines the independent channel.

Warehouse employees use a handheld scanner to read barcode information from a shipping label, enabling real-time tracking and electronic delivery confirmation.
