The last hundred metres
Couriers track a parcel across the country and hand it over at the door. What happens after that, the short journey from the front entrance to the right desk, is where a surprising amount goes wrong. It is the last hundred metres of a delivery's trip, and it is the stretch nobody has been watching. Managing deliveries well is mostly about closing that gap.
The gap the courier cannot see
Once a parcel is signed for at reception, the carrier's job is done and their tracking goes dark. Inside the building, the item is on its own: set down, moved, waiting for someone to notice it. Delivery management is simply picking up the trail exactly where the courier drops it, so the item stays accounted for all the way to the person it is for.
Recording each handover
The way you close the gap is to record the journey as it happens. A scan when the item arrives, a notification to the recipient, and a scan at collection. Each step is captured with a time and a name, so at any moment you can say where something is and who has it, with a full proof of delivery behind it.
Visibility from door to desk
The point of managing deliveries is not paperwork, it is knowing. Knowing what arrived, where it is, and whether the right person has it. That visibility is what stops the small daily losses and answers the queries before they escalate. Our guide to managing incoming parcels covers the day-to-day.
