Internal labelling is done automatically on receipt of goods. Carrier barcodes can also be used. An email requesting collection is sent to the recipient automatically. On hand over of the item the signature is captured on a signature pad at the PC or with a PDA
The details can be quickly retrieved and emailed to enquirers on request.
A PDA is used to record the delivery of the items to their recipients. These signatures are displayed as part of the items tracking record. The system can work in either batch mode where there is no signal or wireless or with GPS. The system does not rely on external cloud servers but on the company terrestrial private network to maximise security.
When mail is received in the central mail depot and needs rerouting to other sites it is put in mailbags then on vans and the movement of the whole bag and its contents is recorded with a single scan. At the receiving office the delivery to reception is recorded again with a single scan and again on delivery to addressee.
