Your shift on Skidd
You walk in at 0530 to a dashboard that already knows what’s coming. The Import Bay shows every flight landing in your window with a piece count, a weight, and a ULD list. Acceptance is a single keyboard view: scan the AWB, the FWB pulls, the canonical model fills, you press A to accept. Skidd fires the FSU/RCS to the carrier in the same keystroke.
When the dock is moving, you live in the 21-state board. Each shipment row shows its current state, its next legal transitions, and a single-key shortcut: R to receive, C to clear security, B to build up, D to deliver. Invalid jumps are rejected at the API — no half-states sneaking into your data.
Discrepancies don’t go in a notebook. Weight tolerance breached? Skidd flags it inline, attaches the operator and the timestamp, and routes it to the supervisor approval queue with full context.
What changes
- 30% more cargo per shift because the keyboard path beats mouse-and-print
- Zero radio chatter for status updates — the system already knows
- Storage overcharges captured automatically the moment the free period expires
- Replay audit on every transition — cryptographic sequence number, operator, second-precision timestamp
What you don’t have to do anymore
You don’t reconcile pieces against the FWB by hand. You don’t email the carrier the FSU. You don’t chase the broker for the customs clearance — the CRC sits on the shipment with the MRN attached. You don’t wonder which shipments missed the cutoff — the Flight Prep view shows weight roll-ups and tolerance breaches before the truck arrives.
Where it slots into your day
| Time | Action | Skidd does |
|---|---|---|
| 0530 | Open Import Bay | Pre-loaded arrivals, ULD assignments, breakdown plan |
| 0700 | Acceptance window opens | Scan + key-press accept; FSU/RCS fires per shipment |
| 1000 | Mid-shift recon | 21-state board, exception filter, dock-by-dock view |
| 1330 | Flight Prep | Auto-roll weight, tolerance flags, multi-leg splits |
| 1815 | Manifest cutoff | FFM emitted; storage clock continues for non-departed |
