Internal_package_tracking_saves_your_bacon-1

It’s not easy to count 47 packages with the USPS guy standing there, staring at you, tapping his foot, waiting to get on with his day. But, if you don’t count all 47 packages, you might find that you only have 45, or 48 – and then you have a problem. Many corporate package tracking horror stories begin like this, but how these stories end can be very different depending on what internal package tracking and organization solutions you employ.

Here’s a tip: A good package tracking app can save your bacon. Here’s how.

No one can catch every detail every time.

Even if you have a crackerjack mail center team, having perfect attention to detail is difficult to achieve 100% of the time. But, with a bar-code scanner and an easy-to-use app, employees can effortlessly zap incoming packages into your system, letting the app do the counting, logging, and notifications for them. If they can zap, enter a few words of information, and press a button, the possibilities for human error will plummet – and your record for accountability will rise.

Loading Dock to office door – tracking simplified

One of our clients calls our app a “PHD” for her mail center employees; “PHD” stands for “Package Handling Degree.” It’s that easy to be an instant pro, and not just for the mail center users, but for everyone in the organization. When mail center employees deliver a package, the recipient only has to squiggle a quick signature on a tablet, cell phone, or MC40 that’s connected to wifi, and the liability loop is efficiently, effortlessly closed. No proprietary hardware or bulky handheld device required.

Push-button accountability

Mail centers that have hit a few hiccups, like losing a package or handing over battered boxes, tend to lose credibility with the bosses. Let’s be honest – they don’t want to have to think about their packages. They want them to magically appear in perfect condition on their desks, moments after they are received downstairs. But, sometimes that just can’t happen, like when a box arrives damaged. In that case, all you can do is help them recover their damaged property. The EZTrackIt app allows you to take a picture of an incoming package and upload it to the system, allowing the unfortunate recipient to prove that it was damaged in transit, not after delivery.

In the words of one of our clients:

“At the end of the day, the most important question for me is: Does my customer like it? Do they find value in it? The easiest way for me to promote them finding value is to keep it simple for their end users, and to never lose a package.” – A. Swart

An efficient corporate mail center should allow everyone at the company to do their work with minimal distractions, and ultimately, get more done! With a good, easy to use package tracking app, the end user will receive his or her deliveries on time, every time, as conveniently as possible, so they can do their jobs that much better. You might just save their bacon too.
