Comprehensive logistics management for the system

The logistics module covers the entire operational process – from the collection of bags at collection points, through transport and sorting, to the counting centre. It provides full visibility of all operations and enables them to be managed in real time.

The system integrates data from various stages of the process, which helps to ensure consistency in operations and minimise the risk of errors.

Automatic collection orders

Generating pick-ups once a set operational minimum has been reached.
Support for automatic and operator-initiated collections.
Scheduling collections without contacting the dispatch centre.

Transport between locations

Monitoring of journeys between locations, sorting centres and the counting centre.
Integration with logistics operators’ systems.
Real-time tracking of shipments and delivery history.

Transhipment centres and consolidation

Management of transhipment stations and consolidation points.
Planning the flow of bags between locations.
Optimisation of transport across the entire logistics network.

The process

How does it work?

Collection request

The system automatically generates a collection order for the sacks once the set operational minimum has been reached, or at the operator’s request.
Transport of sacks

The courier collects the bags, registers them in the mobile app, and the Control Tower monitors the progress of the delivery in real time.
Consolidation and sorting

The bags are transported to the transhipment station or directly to the sorting plant in accordance with the planned route and logistics model.
Counting Centre

The system records the handover of the bags, verifies the EAN codes and the number of packages, and the results are automatically saved.
Accounting and monitoring

Data from the logistics process is fed into the settlement module, whilst the operator monitors the entire operation in real time from the Control Tower.
