If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a business and deliver the wrong item or fail to deliver it on-time then you have likely lost that customer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s business. To achieve a right first-time delivery we recommend automating your collection and delivery processes to incorporate<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/portable-data-terminals\"> mobile computers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/portable-data-terminals\/wearable.htm\">wearable computers<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/scanning.htm\">barcode equipment<\/a>, along with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/software.htm\">software solutions<\/a>. Check out some logistics areas that can be automated to provide a more accurate and quicker process that ensures a better customer experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sortation and Vehicle Loading <\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Sorting and loading the right packages is critical for delivery accuracy. Any failed delivery or return results in a cost to the business. With our wearable mobile computers and voice-based software, you can more quickly and easily sort and load packages for first-time accurate delivery. This technology is an evolution from the traditional conveyor system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dispatch<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost each year on fuel costs that are a result of ineffective routes and delivery scheduling. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/descartes\/\">route planning solution<\/a> can provide your business with continuously optimal reliable routes while using fewer trucks, miles and drivers. It also enables real-time appointment scheduling in order to keep fleet operations productive and profitable while increasing customer satisfaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delivery and Collection<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Confirmation and proof of delivery is the final element of item tracking. However, many times package deliveries cannot be confirmed due to lost paperwork. Using a mobile computer and point of delivery software allows a driver to capture a signature and confirm the proof of delivery. Additionally, many mobile computers come <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/portable-data-terminals\/gps.htm\">equipped with GPS<\/a> to where drivers are at all times and if they arrived at said location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driver De-brief and Vehicle Checks<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Missing paperwork, illegible handwriting and sorting through dozens of paperwork can make collecting manual data from drivers a nightmare. With our technology, we have the ability to transform paper documents into an automated form that is accessible through a mobile computer. Additionally, having a telematics system in each vehicle allows for vehicle information to be digitally synched and tracked. Not only does it reduce the need for somebody to transfer manual data into a computer but it also dramatically reduces the amount of time a driver needs at the end of his day for his de-brief.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on how Barcodes, Inc. can automate your transportation and logistics processes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/support\/contactinfo.htm\">give one of our experts a call<\/a> to get a free consultation for your logistics\u00c2\u00a0solutio n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logistics accuracy and timing is critical to customers.
