Is poor collaboration and lack of transparency into delivery operations denting your profitability of your business? Does your team have access to up-to-date and accurate information?
Most delivery businesses fail to empower their drivers with the ability to manage payments independently and collect proof of the delivery for the admin sitting at the office. Resultantly, admin teams have no idea what’s happening in the field and they fail to support drivers when they need it.
To manage a delivery business successfully, it needs a strong and proactive team working on real-time data on the delivery team in the field.
Electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) connects your field Representatives with admin staff, keeping them updated on the delivery status, enabling a failproof management of deliveries. It is a critical part of every delivery tracking system that empowers them with insights into real-time status of the delivery, which helps the admin team to track if the end-customer has received the product at the end of the day.
Tracking your deliveries electronically with digital software can reduce returns by 10% while offering at least 80% improvement in time management.
The most successful delivery businesses find ways to meet ETAs every time, while shortening routes and lowering service costs. Achieving these goals means reviewing the current delivery operation, refining systems and bringing all processes under one roof where they can be controlled & automated.
RouteMagic allows your team to make daily schedules and plan and track the progress made by the driver—meaning you don’t need to micro-manage and make constant follow ups. With better knowledge and automated invoicing, the reps spend more time selling uniquely to each and every customer and actively achieving their goals.
RouteMagic’s ePOD helps you manage your payments and control credit seamlessly by removing the need to manually manage the entire process. Your drivers and reps are prompted for payment information, and delivery apps can help drivers handle any payment types and log them directly into the main system. These delivery apps also ensure security control, with all payments accurately recorded in both mobile and office applications, and a full cash ledger ensures no money is lost. Reports and payments are processed quicker, and automatic calculations avoid manual error and duplication of effort.
