DeliveryPoD Dispatch Software
Anyone shipping goods uses our Shipping Tool, which is a PC
based software tool that enables shipping departments to get the most benefit
from using DeliveryPoD. The software can be used as a
single or multi user system and its quick and easy to install.
Contact Database
The inbuilt contact database allows you to create and maintain a
list of people and companies that you ship goods to. Whenever you want to send
them a Consignment, just select them from the menu and their address details are
put straight into the shipping form.
Shipping Labels
The software enables you to produce shipping labels for each
package in the Consignment. These can be printed on a standard printer or a
special label printer (4” x 4”). Once the Consignment is finished, details are
sent to the web site, so it is known that the goods are ready to be collected.
Local Database and Custom Fields
Similar to most systems, Consignment and Tracking information is
stored on the web site. However in addition, we provide the shipper with a local
database that enables them to store data that is unique to them. By using User
Defined fields, they can put their own prompts on the screen and collect
information that is unique to them at both the Consignment and Package level.
For example, they may want to record their customers purchase order number and who checked the order prior to dispatch.
Products Database
If you configure the overall system to record weights and
dimensions, the Shipper might find it beneficial to enter standard products and
package sizes into the inbuilt database. Then they can simply click on the
product (or scan its barcode) to move the weight and dimensions into the
shipping form boxes. You can combine this facility with user defined forms so
that you record what is going into each package. This can even be done by
scanning each items barcode!
Check on all Consignments with One Click
Previously any shipper wanting to check every Consignment was
delivered, would at best have to enquire on each one in turn. This is so
laborious that nobody does this, so it is often their customer that tells them
that there is a problem! That is consigned to the past as with DeliveryPoD, they
just click a button and all the details of their Consignments are downloaded and
stored in their own database.
After downloading the data, they can access all sorts of reports:
- List of Delivered Items with signature
- List of Packages that Could Not be Delivered
- List of Non Delivered Packages
- List of Damaged Packages
- Updates from a given date
- Individual Consignment Reports
Each report can be printed, searched and exported to an Adobe PDF or Microsoft Excel file, so that it can be emailed.
