Define goods once, with handling rules that travel with them

A master data manager keeps the goods catalogue for a distributor that moves everything from frozen food to industrial chemicals.

In MoveTheWheels each item has a goods profile: general, palletised, bulk, liquid, chilled or frozen, perishable, hazardous, fragile, high-value, oversized, live or regulated, with its dimensions, weight and handling notes. The profile travels with the goods.

That one definition drives the rest of the journey: which vehicles and containers can carry it, which warehouse zone it is placed in, what it may not share a load with, which documents and certificates are needed, and which people are qualified to handle it. When the profile changes, every future plan follows it.
