Distribution (logistics)

Use case: Distribution (logistics)

The delivery of newspapers, weeklies, mail, inserts, brochures, etc. to delivery addresses or unloading points is usually not very tangible. The processes often take place with a lot of mental knowledge on the part of the drivers and on demand. This is remarkable, but has disadvantages especially in times with many changes, for example due to changing drivers, sickness-related absences of delivery staff, etc..

 

The key advantage JobMonitor offers in this context is the creation of transparency and communication channels before and during the delivery process. It becomes visible what happens after production or departure from the ramp and when this happens. This way, you always know if a driver has already left, a delivery address has already been delivered to, if there have been any delays, etc. This also enables automatic notification of the delivery drivers, so that they do not have to wait for earlier or delayed deliveries without any info. Especially in winter or bad weather this is an advantage.

 

In addition, JobMonitor also supports drivers, as they have all the information they need available in the app. For example, they can call up the production status and are notified when the products are ready to be loaded. Unlike the "papers" / "route lists", the app is also provided with the latest information on unloading point changes and can directly point out these changes.

 

By using JobMonitor, the delivery is documented, whereby times, sequences, distances traveled, etc. can be recorded and used for quality assurance. Furthermore, this can also be used for billing and also enables billing in the credit memo model.

 

The use of the job monitor thus ensures more transparency, better communication and an increase in quality. All in all, this leads to less time wasted and thus to a reduction in costs.
