Before

How deliveries worked before.

Six cold lorries, 84 drops a day, and a stack of paper delivery orders on the dashboard.

  • Pickers worked from invoices, one customer at a time. The same freezer was opened again and again.

  • Lorries were loaded in whatever order the goods came out. Drivers dug through the box at every stop.

  • When stock ran short, nobody told the customer. They found out when the lorry arrived.

What we built

From the freezer to a signed invoice.

The warehouse, the drivers and accounts now work from the same delivery record.

01Picking by route

One picking list per route, sorted by bin.

Pickers tick items off on their phone, and short items are flagged to sales before the lorry is loaded.

02Lorry loading

Every lorry loaded in drop order, and checked cold.

The last drop goes in first, and the warehouse sees each lorry’s progress, freezer temperature and departure time.

The driver checks each line with the customer, records thawed or damaged packs with a photo, and the customer signs.

Warehouse, lorry and office, on one record.

From the freezer aisle at 6 am to the invoice the same afternoon.

  • Warehouse team

    Pick by route and bin, and flag short items before loading.

  • Drivers

    Follow the drops in order, and collect a signature and photos at each one.

  • Sales team

    Hear about short items before the customer does.

  • SAAccounts · Siti Aminah

    Bill what was delivered, with credit notes ready when they’re needed.

  • RNOwner · Ramesh

    Sees every lorry, every drop and every dispute, with the proof.

Since every drop came back signed
  • No more lost delivery orders.
  • No more month-⁠end arguments about short cartons.
  • No more digging through the lorry at every stop.
Cost and timeline

Proof at the door first, then the warehouse.

In two phases, starting with the driver app, because that’s where the disputes began.

Phase 1 · 4–⁠6 weeks

Proof at every drop

Phase 2 · 3–⁠4 weeks

The warehouse

Project sizeFrom RM 15kBusiness system · first 3 months of care included?How we price a project

Want proof on every delivery?

Questions about this system.

What did this project cost?

Business system, from RM 15k. Every feature had a fixed price, agreed before work started, and the first 3 months of hosting and care were included.

Can drivers use their own phones?

Yes. The driver app opens in the phone’s browser. If you prefer company phones, a basic Android phone is enough.

What if the customer won’t sign?

The driver records the reason and takes a photo of the goods at the door. The drop is flagged for the office to follow up.

Does it replace AutoCount?

No. AutoCount stays. Orders come from it, and invoices and credit notes go back into it, with e-⁠invoices sent to MyInvois.

Can we start with just the driver app?

Yes. A driver app with signatures and photos on its own is a focused project, from RM 5k. Picking and loading can come later, as they did here.
