Logistics is not just about moving cans and boxes. It’s about telling people where their goods went, when they arrived and who signed for them. In other words providing them with a signed proof of delivery — on demand.

Manually collecting, processing, filing and storing POD copies is expensive, in many cases accounting for up to 5% of total operating costs. However, the most concerning issue is the risk of POD loss. Most 3PL & 4PL contracts are now based on the understanding that you only get paid for what you deliver - or more to the point, what you can prove that you have delivered. Just one missing Proof of Delivery can take hours to find, copy, and fax or e-mail to someone who wants an answer now. This unnecessarily creates tension between your service staff and your customer, not to mention the risk of delayed or non payment.


The Solution to the POD problem is AutoFORM POD
AutoFORM POD is a specialist Proof of Delivery Document Processing software solution that works alongside your accounting and supply chain IT applications. Within a few minutes of a driver returning to base POD documents can be made available online, triggering an email or workflow alert to customer services for claused deliveries.

Missing documents are immeadiately obvious at depot level meaning the document search occurs before the trail goes cold.
