Challenge
National parcel carrier requires the removal of all paperwork from the sortation processes across the UK.
Solution
Develop a distributed mobile computing solution comprising of:
A central database with filtered replication to satellite databases at each sortation location.
A mobile data capture application, with barcode scanning and real- time validation of parcel movements, along with caching during network downtime.
Localised web services, pooling access to the databases.
A centralised web application providing administrative functions.
Direct integration to existing legacy systems.
Benefits
Reduced sortation times achieved by the removal of paper-based systems.
Sortation accuracy improved by real-time validation of package movements.
Improved customer relations due to the availability of additional package tracking information.
