Vendor POD Upload

Once a trip has been created by the user from their organisation - either manually or through the optimiser, the trip is then visible to the vendor on their vehicle requests page.

Further, after a trip has been assigned to a rider, the vendor can view the trip details page as shown below. This page gives them a rundown of every consignment present in the trip, the current status, number of tasks, delivered and pending tasks etc.

Now, since the riders of said vendor that are on ground and are making the deliveries do not use a shipsy provided app, there is no way to automatically obtain a proof of delivery at the time of marking the order as delivered. However, to ensure that the consignments are delivered at the right time and in the right hands, these riders are told to click PoD images when delivering a consignment. These images are then uploaded by the vendor manually which are then reflected in the Shipsy system.

Manually Uploading POD

To manually upload PoD, the following steps have to be followed:

Once the delivery has been completed by the rider on ground and the PoD images have been clicked, these images are then provided to the vendor.
From the vendor’s end, they first have to navigate to vendor portal > consignments and search for the consignment by inputting the invoice number
This populates a list of all consignments that were created against that invoice
To successfully mark a consignment as delivered, the vendor will first have to upload PoD images on the same page.
This will be done by clicking on the upload PoD button. They will have the option to select manually, one or multiple images from their device and upload them. PoD will be required in both delivered and undelivered cases, so depending on the action the vendor chooses, post uploading the relevant images, the status of the consignment will be changed.
