Proof of Delivery Checklist
Generate a customized proof of delivery checklist based on your delivery type, compliance requirements, and customer expectations. Reduce disputes and improve delivery accountability.
Why Every Delivery Needs Proof
Delivery disputes cost businesses time and money. Without proof, it becomes a he-said-she-said situation. A standardized proof of delivery process protects your business, satisfies customers, and provides data to improve operations.
Types of Delivery Proof
The most common POD methods are photo capture (showing the package at the delivery location), signature capture (digital or paper), barcode scanning (confirming the right package), and GPS timestamps (proving the driver was at the address). The best approach combines multiple methods.
Building Your POD Process
Start by identifying your highest-risk deliveries — high-value items, new customers, or areas with frequent disputes. Require full POD for these deliveries first, then expand to your full operation. Train drivers on photo quality and signature collection.
Automating Proof of Delivery
Manual POD processes are inconsistent. Drivers forget steps or take unclear photos. Pathroute automates POD capture with guided workflows for photos, signatures, and barcodes, ensuring every delivery is properly documented.
