QR Code Integration
How clients can use software technology to get reports and track their consignments in real-time?
Today, running a business without technology means challenging the business.
A good businessman is always alert and up to date. To get new results, it has to be accomplished from the management level. Let me introduce you to this technology.
QR scanner is very common these days. So you can integrate this feature with your logistics and transport management software for providing paperless solutions.
So how is QR code helpful for the logistics and transport industry?
QR code is one of the recent ways of sharing links to anyone (consignee or consigner) you want.
You can scan the code on your GR (Goods Receipt) or LR (Lorry Receipt) using the QR code scanner app or your phone’s camera, and it will open the webpage. Your users can always use the application or website to track the link. But, adding a QR will allow them to track the link from a different device. As users won’t be able to write the full link, it allows them to directly scan the QR from the receipt and open the tracking link.
Technology Benefits
(a) Real Time Tracking
The first benefit you will get is the real-time tracking. You can add the scanner on the invoice or packaging, which will allow the users to simply scan and track the delivery. The link displays real-time tracking of the goods.
In most cases, either the user can see the last location where the goods were scanned, or they can see the live location of the package if it’s out for delivery. It depends on how you have implemented tracking technology. Either way, it always gives an accurate idea to your user where your shipment has reached.
(b) Convenience
When you order something, you are always excited about the delivery. Tracking it should be easy. If you don’t have the website or app down, on your mobile phone, simply scanning the code will open the tracking link, which will give you accurate data of the delivery status.
It’s way easier and more convenient compared to opening the link directly on your mobile phone. You can track the parcel anytime you want, just by seeing the receipt and scanning the QR code on it. The same applies to your customers.
(c) Minimize Calls
Let’s admit that one of the biggest problems you will be facing as a logistics company is the constant calls from customers on “Where has my Parcel reached?”.
You can simply minimize such calls.
The scanner code will allow client to track the link. So, if there are any delays at a specific location, you can always send a notification via the tracking link.
People have patience when they can see the exact location. People will know where their parcel is sitting, and they expect it to leave the warehouse the next day.
Along with the time taken by customer call support, a lot of energy is also lost. In this way you can focus more on your business by cutting the calls.
(d) Easy For Dispatch
Earlier, the driver had to carry a lot of documents like GR, Challan, POD, invoice, gate pass. If a copy was missed from these, the consigner and the consignee had to face a lot of trouble as well as loss.
It’s not just useful for the customers but also the drivers. You can always add the QR code on the driver’s receipt to know the location, keep the documentation safe, and also for the rest of the information.
For instance, instead of giving out the physical copy of the delivery documentation, you can add the QR code to the receipt. The driver can simply scan the receipt and send the document or mark the delivery as done. As they don’t need to use any app or website, it’s extremely easy for them to do so.
