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
label printer . 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!
