Central Goods Reception
The Central Goods Reception is responsible for receiving, registering, and distributing all non-food goods arriving at the university. Upon receipt, goods are checked for the number of packages and any visible damage. If required, a signature is provided upon delivery.
Registration
All incoming goods are registered in the Track & Trace system. The following information is recorded:
- Order number
- Recipient’s name
- Department/building
- Number of packages
- Supplier
- Shipment description
- Special remarks (if any)
Through Track & Trace, you can easily see which packages have arrived and their current location. You can search by order number, supplier, or date. When a shipment is delivered, the recipient signs for receipt in Track & Trace.
Distribution of goods
After registration, goods are consolidated into containers per building. Distribution is organized as follows:
- Daily delivery: Carre and Horst
- Other buildings: Delivery depends on the number of packages, with a maximum lead time of 72 hours
Once containers are delivered, internal services are responsible for further distribution within the buildings.
Costs
Transport costs are charged per container to the respective faculty or department.
