Read full description

UPS Employees can enjoy the convenience of performing the delivery and pickup functionality for usage on the road on their personal device. The intuitiveness of the application guides you through the steps for completing the activity. The employee that is planned within the system will be provided with a manifest of their stops with ability to use navigation using their local maps. On each stop the employee is provided stop details with any specific unique accessorials (COD, Signature Required, Adult Signature Required) or notes associated to that stop (Beware of Dog). Based on those accessorials the application will guide you through the best way to complete the delivery process. Can’t complete the delivery? No problem the application also has the exceptions you would need to properly status for the customer. Also, employees can enjoy the ability of building a manifest within the application by scanning the packages they will be servicing and through the integrated technology pull those stops into their manifest. Completing pickup functionality can also be performed from within the application. Two way communication between the local center and you allows for engaging on updates as necessary. The use of this application is available in full when the UPS employee signs up through the BYOD process.
