Most of the really bad advice about inbound package tracking comes from within organizations themselves – often the result of the “well, this is how we’ve always done it!” mentality. If your mail room is losing packages, or if you’re doing everything right but still take the blame for missing and mishandled items, then you may be the victim of some bad inbound package tracking advice! Here are our worst offenders. Do any sound familiar?
Package tracking isn’t that hard – you can do it with a pen and a notebook!
Believe us, if there’s one thing that can gunk up the works of a corporate, healthcare, or residential mail room, it’s leaving everything to pen and paper! Many of our clients come to us from exactly this situation, and they are so excited to have an easy, intuitive way to automate the process of receiving and documenting inbound packages. Instead of hauling a worn and dog-eared log book around, you have one tidy interface that allows you to log, sort and find packages, as well as auto-notify recipients when they’re available for pickup. If you have a front-desk-to-door delivery service, we track that too.
You don’t have enough inbound packages to need automation – it’s a waste of money
Any time you can automate a process, you’ll save time – and money. You’ll also increase productivity. Sure, if you’re receiving one package a week, you might not need automation. But if you’re handling several, or dozens, of package deliveries a day, then you and your organization can benefit greatly from automated package tracking and notification. In fact, we published an entire post on how much time you can save with delivery tracking software.
Learning new systems takes too long – better to do it the old way
Transitioning staff from the old and familiar to the new and efficient does come with its own set of challenges, but the right inbound package tracking program can make this process as painless as possible. We offer training videos for anyone new to EZTrackit, along with a user Q&A page and personal support. However, we’ve found that for most employees, mastering EZTrackit takes just a few minutes. It’s that easy.
