HUB SCANNER

Improve parcel management at your hub by using our integrated hub scanner technology. Simplify your process by scanning bulk parcels as “at hub” or “out for delivery” when using the built-in hub scanner, eliminating the need for additional software to integrate with your system. Using the built-in hub scanner, you can easily see which parcels are expected to be scanned as “at hub” or “out for delivery” per driver, significantly reducing the risk of lost parcels in your warehouse and effectively maximising your overall parcel management.

How to use the Hub scanner

Go to Hub scanner in the left-hand navigation menu and select a hub from the drop-down. If the logged-in user is limited to the branch, then there will be no branch option as the hub scanner will automatically be linked to the chosen branch. 

More drop-down menus will appear as you complete the information.

 

If plugged in, the scanner will become active and ready for use.

Scan the shipment and wait a split second for the GREEN or RED screen to appear to confirm if the scan had been successful.

The scanner is immediately ready to continue scanning after the first scan.

Each shipment is updated accordingly per scan and customers are notified where requested. 

How to add tags to shipments with the hub scanner

Tag shipments in bulk using the hub scanner.

Go to hub scanner and select the toggle to add the tag function to the current scan session. Choose an option from the tag action menu and then add some tags to complete the action.

What to do if the hand-held hub scanner doesn't work

If the hand-held scanner doesn’t work, you can manually enter the parcel reference into the provided space at the top of the page.

Press enter to submit the parcel reference.

What to do if a parcel is highlighted in red

Invalid parcels will appear in red. This means that the parcel is not created or not registered on the system.

You can Retry the scanner and if the parcel is still not found, you can ask an operations manager for assistance.

Once uploaded, view the status of each waybill to see if it was linked successfully.

Successful uploads: PODs were successfully scanned and linked to the relevant waybill. View the uploaded POD directly from a shipment’s tracking events.

This step is only applicable to unsuccessful uploads.
