Barcode Validation

Once the controller enables this feature, the driver will gain access to the option that permits them to use “Scan & Collect/Deliver” within the app.

SCAN & COLLECT THROUGH THE DRIVER APP

Within the Driver App, this feature empowers drivers to seamlessly scan parcels not initially assigned by the controller while creating a route but are still to be collected. The status of the shipment linked to these parcels will change to “Partly Collected” or “Collected” depending on the total number of packages that are successfully scanned. 

Note : This feature is accessible to drivers and is not available for use for scan terminals.
