Dohrn Transfer utilizes digitized delivery receipts for all deliveries. Electronic delivery receipts are made possible with the use of tablets. At the time of delivery, Dohrn drivers will use tablets to enter notes about the shipment before asking the consignee to sign the electronic device. The signature is added as an overlay to the bill with the digital signature. Within 5 minutes, the document is linked to the paying customer’s account and can be viewed in their portal. Consignees can request a copy of the delivery receipt by emailing POD@dohrn.com or he/she can log in and view the receipt if they are the paying customer. The driver can also enter the consignee’s email address on the tablet at the time of delivery and it will be emailed instantly to the person.
We encourage shippers to digitize their supply chain through technology by replacing manual, paper-based information processes with electronic ones. Eliminating paper is an obvious benefit of electronic delivery receipts, but Dohrn has identified 4 additional benefits for their customers to consider.
1. Reduce Paper Waste
Take steps with us towards a greener future. Dohrn delivers approximately 5,000 shipments a day. If we had 100% compliance from shippers, we could keep 1.3 million pieces of paper a day out of the landfill.
2. Visibility
Gain instant access online to who signed for the shipment and how it was signed by the shipper or customer.
3. Reducing Errors and Less Lost Delivery Receipts
The electronic delivery receipt is instantly available for viewing and tied to the shipment. There are fewer chances of the receipts getting lost, delayed in scanning, tied to the wrong pro number, etc.
4. Improved efficiency for both shipper and carrier
Receiving the final signature instantly allows shippers and logistics companies to close the transaction with their customers and send invoices a day sooner.
