Introduction

The CALIDUS ePOD system provides functionality to handle the process of Proof of Delivery electronically. The system aids this process by providing both a management interface and a client application for use completing tasks. The system supports three job types at this point which encompass the functionality to complete many more tasks with them. At this point the system can be used to complete and record; Deliveries, Collections and Services.

The ePOD administration software is a web-based application that handles all of the administrative side of the ePOD devices.

  • To create and maintain reference data for the system (e.g. Reason Codes, Vehicles, Customers).
  • To create Jobs of all types and group them together onto Loads.
  • To assign Loads to Users.
  • To view the Jobs and Loads created.
  • To print or email a POD.
