Delivery

Management of the process of goods delivery during the driver’s visit at a customer’s location. During the delivery, the driver can alter the quantity of goods, so that the actual amount delivered to a customer is lower than the one originally planned. For each reduction the driver can choose a reason to justify the change from the freely configurable list of reasons (i.e. broken in transit, customer decision). It is also possible to completely reject the whole delivery with optional rescheduling.

Invoicing

Mobile Touch DSD can issue various documents depending on the delivery details. Usually the delivery generates either a delivery note or an invoice, but the solution can also generate credit notes and fiscal receipts. All the documents are printed on-site so that the customer instantly receives all the delivery settlement documents.

The solution can enforce instant payment collection for each invoice issued during the visit or the payment can be postponed until the visit is completed. Mobile Touch DSD can collect the total balance of all payments due for a particular visit including multiple invoices for the customer.

When completing the questionnaire, the driver is presented with multiple choice questions, which they need to answer in relation to their deliveries.
