AFS ePoD 2.0 for Android Allows Users to Master the Business of Delivery

PHOENIX - April 13, 2017 - PRLog -- AFS Technologies, a leading global provider of software solutions purpose-built for consumer goods companies, announces the latest release of its electronic proof of delivery (ePoD) application for Android®.

AFS ePoD 2.0 for Android enables real-time delivery automation with paperless proof of delivery, ensuring food safety with the certainty that the correct product went to the correct customer at the correct time. ePoD facilitates one-up, one-down traceability with track and trace capability.

This mobile application is used by drivers to verify delivery and automate data capture in real-time, providing the distribution center with valuable intra-day intelligence and visibility into order adjustments, returns, credits, cash collection/deposits/credit card processing, driver performance, and GPS monitoring that otherwise might not be available until the next day – if at all.

Developed for the Android platform, the software allows users to boost operational efficiencies and maximize customer service while reducing costs and increasing revenue. More specifically, it provides the following capabilities:

·         Electronic delivery confirmations
·         Elimination of manual processes and paperwork
·         Truck loading with correct inventory
·         Pre- and post-trip inspections and driver health and safety survey
·         Track and trace capability with just-in-time electronic delivery
confirmation including signature captures and photos
·         GPS tracking to monitor driver at any time
·         Paperless reports
·         Delivery documents shared via emails
·         Delivery confirmation by case or pallet with single-scan capability
·         Credit returns with reason codes and photos
·         Item/pallet positioning to easily locate products on truck
·         Cash collections
·         Integration with business-critical applications: AFS products including Warehouse Management System and/or ERP, and third-party products with single sign-on

"Mastering the Business of delivery is no longer optional; it is a prerequisite for consumer goods distribution companies. Driver activity needs to be captured in real-time to verify delivery and automate data back into the distribution center." said Joe Bellini, CEO, AFS Technologies. "AFS ePoD 2.0 for Android delivers the automation that food and beverage businesses need to increase productivity, efficiency and asset utilization."

AFS ePoD 2.0 for Android is just one component of the AFS Delivery Executions Solutions suite, which includes DSD Office, DSD Mobile for Android and iOS®, Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePoD), Distributor Management System (DMS), Home Delivery, Web Ordering, and Client Portal.
