Manuelle Zolldeklarationsbearbeitung und Abfertigung als Durchsatzflaschenhals
Definition
Current workflow requires: (1) Create labels in shipping platform, (2) Generate AWB in Sendcloud/ShipStation, (3) Manually print CN22/CN23, (4) Insert into envelope, (5) Attach to parcel, (6) Place in box/bag, (7) Print AWB on A4, (8) Affix to shipment. Each step is manual, error-prone, and creates idle time. During peak seasons (November–December), this process blocks 20–40 parcels/hour per employee.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €500–€2,000/day per fulfillment location (estimated: 50–100 peak-season orders/hour × 15% throughput loss × €10–€20 revenue/order). Peak season impact: €30,000–€120,000/November–December per large center.
- Frequency: Daily during business hours; peaks November–December and during promotional campaigns.
- Root Cause: Lack of automated customs form generation and printing integration; manual AWB attachment process; no end-to-end digital workflow from order to customs clearance.
