ProCam Streamline Delivery Management to UK Crop Producers with TranSend ePODd and Integrated Route Planning
Wynyard, United Kingdom, May 29, 2016 --(PR.com)-- ProCam has selected TranSend integrated route planning and electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) deployed on Android devices to remove paperwork, plan the most efficient routes, automate the delivery management process and provide ProCam with real-time visibility of their customer deliveries.
ProCam is a national agricultural chemical distribution and agronomy group comprising a network of 16 regional businesses that provide the UK’s top producers with crop protection products and advises farmers on how to get the most out of their crops through better production management methods. ProCam’s business has seasonal peaks and regional variations in supply as well as specific delivery compliance requirements for hazardous products. In addition to managing routes and deliveries more efficiently, ProCam needed an ePOD system that could manage the driver’s day from a single device, including ad-hoc deliveries, vehicle checks and incident reporting.
TranSend are supplying tracking, electronic proof of delivery (ePOD), route planning, optimisation and compliance for their fleet of 80 vehicles operating from their regional sites.
Orders are generated from their IFS order management system and from then on TranSend handles the route building, planning and optimisation, taking into account any specific customer delivery instructions and time-windows.
Deployed on Android smartphone devices, the TranSend ePOD app will present drivers with their route for the day with step-by-step instructions for each stop, including site-specific delivery instructions, signature capture and recording of any events or exceptions as they arise.
Once out on the road, data captured by the TranSend app will provide the back office with complete, real-time visibility of each route, highlighting any exceptions as they occur, so that ProCam can respond quickly to any customer queries.
Importantly for ProCam, from a health and safety perspective, the TranSend app enables comprehensive, configurable vehicle safety checks, plus detailed incident and accident reporting.
Nathan Sheppard, Group ICT Director at ProCam, comments:
“TranSend are providing us with a fully integrated route planning and ePOD solution which will enable us to plan the most efficient routes for deliveries and provide a more efficient and proactive service, with a real-time view of the progress of each route and driver. The additional benefit of vehicle checks and incident reporting on the TranSend app means that we can easily and cost-effectively manage the drivers’ day on a single mobile device.”
