A customer delivery query should ideally be a retrieval task, not an investigation. The office needs to identify the job, find the completed movement and see the supporting information that was recorded at the time.

Start with the question being asked

Common queries include:

  • Was this load completed?
  • Which job or site was it for?
  • What material or quantity was recorded?
  • When was the movement recorded?
  • Is there a docket, photograph, note or sign-off associated with it?

Find the job before ringing the driver

If the completed record is searchable, the office can start with the job rather than immediately interrupting the driver or searching through paper. The relevant delivery details and supporting evidence used for that workflow can be reviewed together.

Separate what the record shows from what you conclude

This distinction matters. A digital record can show what was entered or captured during the job. It does not automatically prove that one party's interpretation of a disputed event is correct.

Answer from the available evidence and identify any gap rather than overstating what the record proves.

When several loads are involved

A customer may ask about a day, week or project rather than one delivery. Tipper360 supports retrieval of completed records and bulk POD downloads, which can make it easier to assemble the relevant delivery records without collecting individual paper dockets.

Use a real query as your system test

Take a customer question your office has received before. Time how long it takes to find the relevant jobs and supporting information. That is a much better test of a delivery-record system than a generic promise about “better customer service”.
