There are millions of shipments that get delivered at every moment, making their way from one place to another. Do you wonder if the delivery of this shipment is done the right way or right time? Or what if the only evidence that the shipment was received is lost or misfiled? What if the shipment is rejected due to any shortages or damages that might be occurred during transportation and the shipper doesn’t have any access to this information?
Conventional Method
For manufacturing, distribution and transportation companies, the traditional proof of delivery is dependent more on paper-based processes, where the driver submits acknowledged delivery note. The delivery note document is critical. It’s the only evidence of delivery confirmation where the recipient acknowledges and provide feedback.
These documents are logged back at base at the soonest opportunity. More often it is torn, dirty and submitted in high volumes. This increases the chances for misinterpretation, errors, and inaccuracy in processing. If this is lost or misplaced, it can lead to payment delays or invoices not getting paid if the customer claims they did not receive a shipment. These issues can also lead to lost revenue and even legal troubles.
