The Victoria Group’s
Agency, Port Management and Transport System (APMTS)
Victoria Group developed the APMTS to facilitate secure EDI (Electronic Data Interface) between warehousing, our customers and end users – effectively providing a safe interface not only between the Group and its customers, but also between our customers and their own customers.
In overview:
- Victoria Group are fully Inventory Linked to HMRC – Inventory Linking is a digital system that enables the efficient movement and control of goods through a port.
- the manifest of each ship docking at one of the Group’s ports can be uploaded into the PMTS, with cargo items identified as “inbound”;
- on arrival, each item is barcode scanned, off-loaded and warehoused and its status on the PMTS changes to “in stock”;
- our customers can interrogate the APMTS by “parts required” to identify what is available in store. The PMTS analyses the request and offers availability of the items required on a FIFO basis;
- if the customers accepts the offer made, the APMTS prints delivery tickets and ordered items are transported to the required destination by the Victoria Group Transport fleet.
- The APMTS can automatically generate (and securely deliver) bespoke reports as required by our customers.
