- First he scan a blank receipt with his mobile device and then keys-in the consignee details (and payments if any) into the device.
- He then connects to the central server and uploads the information.
- Once the server accepts the operation, the courier fills in the receipt with payment details, signs it and hands it over to the customer.
- The consignment is picked up to the sorter location and routed based on the destination.
- All tracking and monitoring can be done through the PDA or customer web portal.
