Proof of delivery (POD) is a method to establish the fact that a recipient received contents sent by a sender. It works very much like a receipt except that it is to prove that a delivery has been completed rather than a purchase has been made.
It consists of a written acknowledgment of having received an order or parcel of a specific value on a specific date and time, the name of the person who has received the parcel and other shipping details. As such, POD is a crucial element in the delivery process for the logistics industry.
The most common type of POD is a hardcopy (on paper). It requires the receiver to sign while receiving the parcel. Klippa can extract all information from such documents and deliver you structured data for further processing, for example in your database.
The other one is E-POD which is an electronic proof of delivery. With this method, the delivery person generally carries a device which allows the recipient to sign electronically.
