Freight documentation still relies heavily on manual processes. Air waybills, customs declarations, and proof-of-delivery forms often involve repetitive data entry and physical handling. This makes them prone to delays, compliance risks, and errors that slow cross-border shipments.
What Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro bring is the ability to run these applications securely and efficiently in the field. With built-in durability and intelligent features, businesses can digitise freight workflows without the delays and inefficiencies of paper-based processes.
These Galaxy Ruggedised devices support key logistics apps such as electronic driver logs, behaviour monitoring, proof-of-delivery, and digital freight documentation seamlessly and securely on a single device. This unified ecosystem eliminates paperwork bottlenecks, simplifies compliance reporting, and provides real-time insights to improve fleet performance.
For logistics teams, cargo details can be captured with the device camera, barcodes scanned instantly through Knox Capture6, and delivery records updated in real time. The S Pen7 adds further precision, enabling teams to annotate on cargo images, sign customs forms, and input data directly on the device. Combined with Glove Mode8, teams can use their devices without removing protective gear. This ensures work keeps moving, without risking the safety of users.
Durability is just as critical as efficiency during the freight documentation process. Devices in cargo bays, loading docks, and transit yards are constantly exposed to dust, splashes, heavy vibrations, and the risk of drops. The Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro feature IP68 water and dust resistance9 and MIL-STD-810H certification10, built to endure rain during customs checks and drops at loading docks. This resilience ensures teams can complete documentation and reporting tasks without costly interruptions or downtime.
Accurate documentation of cargo damage is critical but often hindered by cluttered or poorly lit photos. When cargo damage occurs during transit, cargo inspectors need to take photos for documentation. However, these images are often cluttered with background distractions such as stacked cargo or poor lighting. Unclear photos can slow insurance claims, create disputes with suppliers, and compromise compliance records.
With programmable keys, teams can assign shortcuts to quickly access most utilised apps. For example, drivers can set a programmable key to instantly open their e-waybill or digital proof-of-delivery app with a single tap while on the road.
Freight documentation often stalls when staff move between cargo bays and office terminals, slowing operations and delaying shipments. With Galaxy XCover7 Pro which is powered by Samsung DeX, teams can instantly switch to a desktop-like workspace on a larger screen without leaving the cargo bay. This allows them to review airway bills, update cargo reports, and issue receipts on the spot, ensuring faster turnaround times, reduced delays in documentation, and greater visibility for customers who expect immediate updates on their shipments.
By digitising freight documentation, transport and logistics providers can securely collaborate across shippers, carriers, and warehouses. This approach will reduce errors, costs, and keep goods moving without disruption.
