Scandit has announced the launch of a new mobile proof-of-delivery (POD) solution designed to improve efficiency for an increasingly mobile workforce by enabling the use of smartphones and wearable devices to keep track of pickups and deliveries.

Companies using Scandit’s solution benefit from a single app that supports all driver tasks and barcode scanning that eliminates the need for dedicated barcode scanning devices.

Scandit is a developer of software-based barcode scanning solutions for smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices.

“The mobilization of today’s workforce can result in significant efficiencies and lower costs across the entire supply chain, especially when combined with enterprise-grade barcode scanning and data capture,” says Samuel Mueller, Scandit CEO. “Our new proof-of-delivery solution offers equivalent scanning performance to dedicated scanners at a fraction of the cost, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership over dedicated device alternatives.”

The Scandit POD solution includes a customizable app for iOS and Android combined with Scandit’s Enterprise Mobility and Data Capture Cloud. The app integrates with existing enterprise IT infrastructures.

The app supports all delivery tasks, including navigation, geotagged signature capture, and barcode scanning equivalent to dedicated devices. The solution can easily be distributed to corporate devices or downloaded by third-party contractors ensuring that everyone in the delivery chain, drivers, contractors and part-time workers, can track deliveries in real time.

Scandit’s solution is designed to extend Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Transportation Management Systems (TMS), and Warehouse Management System (WMS) to the mobile workforce of today’s logistics providers.
