Delivery Connect by Blackbay is a freight tracking solution for the Transport & Logistics (T&L) Industry. It supports the collection, in-depot, delivery and management processes.
To remain competitive, providers need to operate on an equal technology basis, without investing vast sums in IT, running complex, long-term projects. To achieve this businesses need a packaged solution that enables, empowers and encourages innovation.
Using Delivery Connect T&L organizations benefit from a single integrated solution that supports fleet and in-depot activity. The integrated wireless (LAN and WAN) event reporting provides real-time visibility of all processes so that staff can respond rapidly to emerging situations and take advantage of underutilized capacity.
Supply chain companies gain an electronic Proof of Collection (PoC) and Proof-of-Delivery (PoD) solution that removes the risk of human error and the cost of manual processing from chain of custody enquiries. This includes exception management for overs, shorts and damaged (OS&D) items.
By supporting all critical aspects of the business, including location management, manifest and consignment management and mobile processes that are driven by product types and operational data, Delivery Connect users gain flexible capabilities that can easily be configured to support current and future business processes.
Large or small delivery companies benefit from using the web based operations, reporting and administration interface that removes the cost of installing local software and provides easy access from almost any location.
