Home/Office Deliveries
PODFather provides a fully integrated depot scheduling system and mobile PDA software. With the flexibility to be used either stand-alone, or completely integrated with existing IT systems, The PODFather scales to cope with either single or multi-depot operations.
Typically PODFather is integrated into existing job booking systems to accept a feed of customer orders in either real-time or scheduled frequencies.
Scheduling modules are available to plan multi-drop runs, as well as warn depot staff if time-critical deliveries are going to be late.
As soon as a delivery is complete, the POD is returned in real-time where it is automatically archived, and can be downloaded into existing system to trigger invoices.
By removing paper PODs from the business, many problems are eliminated, including:
- Improved cashflow: delayed invoicing due to paperwork not being returned on time;
- Reduced admin: overheads of manually entering completed PODs into back-office systems are eliminated;
- Improved customer service: you gain the ability to automatically advise your customers when their deliveries are planned, and provide a copy POD in a matter of seconds.
