Take Your Operation to the Next Level
SPEED UP DELIVERIES, ENSURE EVERY ITEM IS PROPERLY DELIVERED, COLLECT PAYMENTS
This easy to use Android-based application for your drivers represents a powerful, cost saving tool which is the perfect solution to bring efficiency to your drivers and your operation. It
provides all the Proof-Of-Delivery features you would expect so you can achieve zero delivery errors and get your drivers back on
the road ASAP for their next stop.
Proof-of-Delivery
Your drivers represent your food service operation. Providing them with this technology not only allows them to work faster and more accurately, but it also
sends a message to your customers that you embrace the latest technology to ensure that their needs are met. The entrée.POD system
keeps you and your customers happy by ensuring that every item was delivered properly. Delivery confirmation can be made by barcode scanning
shipping labels. It handles item shorts, miss-picks, damages, and scheduled/unscheduled pickups. The customer’s signature can be electronically captured while all changes to the
delivery document can be updated into your main entrée V4 software in minutes. You’ll receive accurate information from the moment the truck leaves the
warehouse to the time delivery is confirmed. With the ability to track all deliveries/pick-ups, you can eliminate the unnecessary expense of sending duplicate shipments
to cover deliveries customers claim did not occur.
SCAN SHIPPING LABELS
In order to ensure that the driver is delivering the
proper items to the customer, you can generate Shipping Labels which
are affixed to
each CASE, etc. as the items are
placed onto pallets
for delivery or loaded into the
truck. Note that one label will print for each item, so that if a
quantity of 6 are
being delivered, the first label will read 1 of 6, then 2 of 6, etc.
The driver must
scan each label as they are delivered to the customer. The size,
design and
graphical elements of the label can be completely customized via
entrée’s
label design features. Note that this function of requiring the
driver to scan each
item is optional.
Collect Payments, Take Pictures, Print Receipts, Stock Reconciliation for Theft Reduction
A challenge many food service distributors face is keeping track of
cash and checks
collected by the drivers, and then quickly and easily applying these
monies received
to the proper accounts receivable invoices. Using the entrée.POD
app, your driver indicates any cash or check payments made by the
customer and that
data is sent directly to your entrée V4 software
for fast
verification and application when the driver returns. Need to record
that an item
was spoiled or damaged? Just have the driver take a picture with
their Android
device and that will be sent and recorded into your entrée
V4
system. Need to print a receipt or credit slip with their signature
at the time of
delivery? No problem, and many mobile receipt printers are
supported. When the
driver returns, he counts any items that are on the truck, hands his
Android device
to the warehouse manager for confirmation and signature.
Route Document Review
The Route Document Review provides you with full
accessibility in real-time, after the driver completes each stop. It
will display
the customer's signature as they signed with their finger on the
Android device. It
will display deliveries that were completed and if any items were
shorted. It also
will show any cash receipts received by the driver. This is a
feature that provides
maximum business value and a rapid return on investment.
Hardware Compatibility
The power of entrée.POD is always on, even if your
WiFi or cellular
isn’t. That’s because entrée.POD is a native
Android app that
continues to work in an offline mode so it is always accessible to
your drivers and
always ready to perform at top speed. Hardware compatibility is as
follows:
- Android 4.4 or later. Cell service on the device supported but not required.
- Can utilize Bluetooth barcode scanners or Android devices with built-in scanners such as the affordable and durable Cipherlab RS30. Note that barcode scanning is not required but is recommended.
-
Mobile Bluetooth receipt printers such as the Zebra IMZ
Series.
