We’re running Saturday load-in with 60 vendors through Dock C between 6:00–7:30 AM — has anyone found QR badge scanning (e.g., Scan to Sheets feeding a shared Google Sheet) faster than alphabetical printouts when Wi-Fi is unreliable? Target is sub-3 minutes per truck with a clean handoff to security; looking for a workflow that keeps the gate moving without adding another device to the stack.
Wi-Fi is unreliable? Target is sub-3 minutes per truck with a clean handoff to security; looking Agree on the timing — ugh — what worked for us at Dock C: pre-generate vendor QR badges, use Scan to Sheets in offline queue mode and batch-sync every 10 minutes via a runner’s hotspot, while security works off a printed alpha list just for plate verify; keep a single device per lane to avoid dupes. With 60 vendors in a 6:00–7:30 window, we hit 2–3 min/truck once we staged a QR-only lane and a paper fallback lane.
Short answer from my side: I’m seeing the same pattern — one concrete thing that helped was writing down the exact handoff and timebox it to 15–20 min. Does that match what you’re running into?
