Intake
Shipment receives a label, barcode, or QR at shipper intake.
Shipment scanning
Every parcel moves by scan, not assumption
Scanning creates a clear chain of custody: who had the parcel, where it was, when loaded, when delivered, and what happened if delivery failed.
What you get
Where scanning is used
Loading
Driver scans what enters the vehicle and the system knows what is missing.
Branch
Branch confirms receipt, sorting, transfer to agent, or return.
Delivery
Address scan links status with signature, photo, GPS, and COD.
Return
Returned parcels scan back into branch with reason and next action.
Audit trail
Every scan has user, time, location, status, and related event.
