The essence of the transportation business process is simple: we accept cargo and payment from the client, then return the cargo while retaining a profit.
However, this seemingly straightforward process can encounter challenges. For example, a client may report missing or damaged items. In such cases, the carrier has to compensate for the loss, which can nullify the profitability of the deal.
To minimize losses and errors, Voxme offers Moving Software for labeling and verifying cargo:
Surprisingly, many companies still perform this process manually. Workers mark numbers on paper (a method known as "bingo"). However, manual methods are prone to mistakes and confusion, leading to losses — not necessarily due to theft but often from human error.
Labeling items with barcodes and QR codes has become an efficient and accessible solution. This approach combines simplicity and cost-effectiveness, especially with tools like the bingo.voxme.com portal, which makes the technology affordable even for small companies — for just $300 per year.
Barcodes and QR codes carry the same information. However, barcodes store data horizontally using parallel lines (a one-dimensional code), while QR codes use a two-dimensional format with data encoded both horizontally and vertically.
QR codes are particularly advantageous due to their resilience: they remain readable even if up to 70% of the image is damaged.
With the Delivery Bingo app, available for smartphones, you can:
The report can be saved as a PDF, sent to the client, or uploaded to the portal for future reference.
QR codes are more damage-resistant due to their complex structure with redundant elements.
The bingo.voxme.com portal allows automatic encoding. Simply input the job number, and the barcode label will be printed.
Access to the app is included in the portal's subscription, costing only $3 per job.
No. The app works on a pay-as-you-go model. Workers receive a link to download a specific job.
