Produce collection centers
A collection center needs an explicit account of produce arrival, warehouse custody and transfer to a driver. The load links the transport partner, planned stops, assignment and evidence, so the people at each handoff can work from the same movement. Start with a real lane your team already runs and use its actual appointment times.
How Logistics/TMS for Agriculture and Produce is set up for you
Collection
Sequence the farm and center stops on the same load. The pickup check carries farm and temperature observations with the load.
Movement
Record the warehouse, pallet count, driver and actual handover time. Dispatcher can compare a committed assignment with the stop windows.
Review
Review the pickup check before delivery release. Review Manager keeps the decision and reason connected to the case.
A collection center needs an explicit account of produce arrival, warehouse custody and transfer to a driver. The load links the transport partner, planned stops, assignment and evidence, so the people at each handoff can work from the same movement. Start with a real lane your team already runs and use its actual appointment times.
Select one operating organization, one active transport partner and a repeated route with a farm pickup and recipient. Enter a promised delivery time, then add each stop in its intended order. Check the driver eligibility date and vehicle readiness before committing an assignment. At collection, record the pickup evidence and submit it for independent review. If the movement passes through a warehouse, record the physical custody handoff there as a separate event.
During the first operating cycle, compare what the team planned with what actually happened. Use actual pickup, stop arrival and delivery times to understand a late arrival. Where a receipt failed, inspect its stable key and linked effect before another action. Keep the original promise and evidence available after correction. This gives the dispatcher and reviewer a shared case to discuss at the next shift handoff.
See [the load planning module](/logisticstms-for-agriculture-and-produce/modules/load-planning) and [implementation](/logisticstms-for-agriculture-and-produce/implementation) to prepare the first movement.
