NEW TRACKING SYSTEM FINAL
CHAPTER FOR PAPERLESS COMPANY
» » THERMOSEAL GROUP
has installed a new order tracking
and delivery system which is
the final stage in achieving a
completely paperless sales order
processing service to customers.
As well as doing its bit for
the environment, this system
provides a multitude of benefits
including real-time tracking,
satellite location of deliveries, and
same-day email delivery notes and
invoices.
With 21 vehicles delivering
over 2,000 insulated glass
components from its four UK
sites – including Thermobar
and Thermoflex – this new
tracking system complements
the Group’s earlier-installed bar
coding system to ensure that
delivery errors are minimised and
deliveries remain prompt and
reliable.
Gwain Paterson, Thermoseal
Group’s Managing Director
explains: “All of our drivers
are now issued with a device
pre-loaded with all deliveries for
the day, organised in order of
allocated routes, with customer
contact details, so the driver can
contact customers as required.
Once the items are dispatched,
the customer receives an e-mail
to say their order is on route.
“In the interests of our team’s
wellbeing and also to reduce
vehicle down-time, we have
built additional features into the
system, including prompts for
vehicle checks and for drivers to
take adequate breaks.”
