Driver-Tracking Service Added to Proof-of-Delivery System

Paragon has enhanced its fleXipod proof of delivery system with a map-based ‘track my driver’ service. This functionality enables logistics operations to provide customers with access to live status updates on the progress of their delivery. Logistics operations will benefit from improved first-time delivery success, increased customer confidence and reduced inbound calls volumes.

Logistics operators using Paragon’s proof of delivery software now have the option to upgrade the system to include a link to the new driver tracking functionality in both emails and SMS notifications. The interface can be branded and customised to provide a range of relevant information such as how many deliveries are left before an order arrives, providing customers with accurate information about arrival times or windows so they can plan their day accordingly.

Accurate communications ensure a higher proportion of customers are available at the time of delivery to accept an order, freeing up office-based resources by reducing the number of inbound WISMO-related calls. In addition, customer service staff can be provided with access to the same tool, making it easier to resolve any complaints or queries.

William Salter, Managing Director of Paragon Software Systems commented: “Real-time tracking and highly accurate communications have become increasingly common consumer expectations. As a result delivery operations across most industries are now under pressure to provide this detailed delivery information. The introduction of Paragon’s track my driver functionality using HERE’s Open Location Platform means that any B2C or B2B delivery operation can achieve this level of service. This latest development enhances our fleXipod proof of delivery system which already offers transport operations an easy-to-use, flexible tool that streamlines the delivery process and improves customer service.”
