Vision EPOD

General Workflow of Vision EPOD
EPOD - Electronic Proof of Delivery is part of Vision Distribution and is used to keep track of and record successful delivery of goods on Manifest.
It can be used in-house and by Transporters. Vision EPOD uses a mobile EPOD Device to record who delivers goods, who they were delivered to, records a signature against the recipient, the time of the actual Delivery and when the next Delivery should be made (all of which is passed back to Vision Distribution) via the nationwide mobile network).
