Courier Management Software: Bookings, Hubs, Tracking and Proof of Delivery

A courier company makes thousands of promises a day. Every parcel is a promise that it will reach the right address, on time, in one piece. Keeping those promises means knowing where every package is, which rider has it, which vehicle is on which route and whether the customer actually received it. Without software, that knowledge lives in phone calls and paper manifests, and "where is my parcel?" becomes the most common call your office takes.

Courier Management Software: Bookings, Hubs, Tracking and Proof of Delivery

A courier company makes thousands of promises a day. Every parcel is a promise that it will reach the right address, on time, in one piece. Keeping those promises means knowing where every package is, which rider has it, which vehicle is on which route and whether the customer actually received it. Without software, that knowledge lives in phone calls and paper manifests, and "where is my parcel?" becomes the most common call your office takes.

Courier management software replaces guesswork with tracking. Sysfo's Courier Management Software handles bookings, hubs, tracking and delivery proof for courier and logistics companies.

How a shipment moves through the system

  1. Booking. The shipment is booked and the address is validated.
  2. Labelling. A barcode is generated and attached.
  3. Hub processing. The parcel is scanned in and out at each hub.
  4. Dispatch. It is assigned to a rider and route.
  5. In transit. Vehicle location is tracked live, and the customer is notified.
  6. Delivery. Proof of delivery is captured.
  7. Billing. The shipment flows into invoicing.

At every step, the status is visible to your staff and, through notifications, to the customer.
