How TNT Express Provide Better Services for Customers
Background
For the past 3 decades, TNT Express has earned a reputation of number one courier services provider in Pakistan. The company had grown all over the country with which demand for services was also increased. The traditional way of services became obsolete and could not proceed further. To meet the escalated demand and on-time delivery of the parcels, TNT took the help of Chainway Information Technology Company for providing latest technology solution. Chainway is a manufacturer of automatic identification data capturing devices. This is why TNT management chose Chainway’s C3000 mobile computer for tracking and inventory management. Finally, TNT Express achieved the goal of on-time parcel delivery without any error.
Challenges
Manual process adversely affected the working efficiency and operational cost.
At the peak season, timely delivery of parcels was not possible due to manual work.
There were no criteria to evaluate the performance and accountability of employees. They can easily transfer their in-capabilities on others shoulders.
Parcels tracking system was not active. Customers could not track their consignment even in the case of express delivery.
Solution TNT management applied barcode-based solution for tracking and tracing of consignments. The system was implemented in every branch, collection centers and mother hubs of TNT in Pakistan. Data collected was forwarded to central servers on a real-time basis. Therefore, the management offered real-time tracking of the consignment for the customers.
