XATANET Enables Proof Of Delivery For Enhanced Functionality And Productivity
XATA Corporation continues to lead the fleet operations software market by integrating best-in-class proof-of-delivery (POD) software with XATANET, its on-demand fleet operations software. XATA's POD approach delivers increased levels of integration and flexibility with the most widely-accepted fleet management applications demanded by trucking customers. XATA's POD enablement will look to such partners as SAE and Airversent—leading providers of POD solutions—to offer customers near real-time communication of delivery exceptions and the elimination of driver paperwork.
With its latest release, XATANET enables Systems Application Engineering's (SAE) Proof of Delivery (POD) functionality, running on a Symbol handheld device to integrate with a XATANET-supported in-cab device. Future releases will see enablement of Airversent POD, increased handheld device support and increasingly tighter integration.
XATA's POD enablement uses XATANET's vehicle data and the POD software inventory data to take the burden of paperwork off drivers, thus increasing productivity by allowing them to focus on driving and delivery. Collecting delivery and inventory data electronically also eliminates errors associated with paperwork and lets users automatically record inventory changes, satisfying customer needs with increased speed and efficiency. POD functionality also allows drivers to obtain proof-of-delivery signatures, to validate orders at delivery and to record inventory status electronically, which eliminates paperwork for the driver.
"This is part of our strategy to enable the best-of-class fleet management solutions in the marketplace," said Tom Flies, senior vice president, product strategy, XATA Corporation. "It demonstrates our commitment to offering a flexible platform that helps our customers not only do their jobs more efficiently, but also to reduce costs and serve their customers better than ever."
