They were in need of a paperless confirmation solution consisting of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/portable-data-terminals\/\">mobile computer<\/a> for signature capture as well as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/portable-label-printers\/\">mobile printer<\/a> for on-location receipt confirmation for their customers. Barcodes Inc was able to deliver a mobile solution which provided immediate confirmation of receipt by their customers and improved efficiency across the entire delivery network.<\/p>\n<p><b><!--more-->The Business Challenge<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tricor came to Barcodes Inc seeking a solution to automate and streamline live delivery tracking and confirmation with a limited paper trail. The issue that they faced was that many of their paper delivery notifications were getting misplaced, leaving them with nothing to give to the customer. They needed a mobile computer to automatically update their server after every delivery route was completed showing confirmation and signature capture as well as provide the customer with a physical receipt. A successful solution would be rolled out to all 50 of their drivers, each with numerous routes in the South San Francisco area.<\/p>\n<p><b>Solution<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tricor had already written custom software for delivery confirmation and needed the software to run on a Windows Mobile platform with integration of the laser scan engine on whichever device Barcodes Inc provided them. Barcodes Inc helped them integrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/unitech\/pa500e.htm\">Unitech PA500 mobile computers<\/a> with the proper scan engine and paired the devices via bluetooth to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/zebra\/rw420.htm\">Zebra RW420<\/a> printers. Once a confirmation and exchange was made to the customer, the device was able to confirm the location of delivery and capture their signature. Once the signature was captured a delivery confirmation receipt was printed. This not only streamlined the delivery confirmation but allowed the drivers to complete their routes faster and increased productivity nearly 75%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Benefits<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>With the successful deployment of the solution, Tricor has now expanded their business to a larger portion of San Francisco and increased their customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Future<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Through our relationship with Tricor, we are able to provide them with unlimited technical support whenever they need it, and we continue to provide their hardware as they expand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry: Logistics Application: Proof of Delivery &amp; Route Accounting Tricor Courier and Cargo captures real-time end-user delivery confirmations by putting the power of mobile technology directly in the hands of its front-line delivery team.
