Driving Communications: Digital Signature Capture
Our totally automated procedure uploads the Proof of Delivery (POD) signature within moments of the delivery being completed. This provides a real time, downloadable POD document for your deliveries, enabling you to confirm receipt and invoice your customers.
Driving Customer Satisfaction: Online Job Entry
Our members can offer customers online job entry. This allows you to upload details of your consignments simply and effectively in one easy-to-use location online. This provides a more efficient service than many competitors, reducing the need for timely phone calls to arrange collections and deliveries. Simply enter your consignment online and your local Palletline member will take care of the rest.
Driving Efficiency: Reducing Empty Vehicles
Our system also offers a wealth of support for each of our members, particularly in the efficient management of their vehicles. Members can view the quantity of pallets for their depot in real time, allowing them to plan vehicle operation effectively; reducing empty running time and keeping services as efficient and environmentally friendly as possible.
