What does ePOD (electronic proof of delivery) mean in logistics?

Short answer

A proof of delivery captured digitally at the consignee, typically a photo of the signed LR or a signature, OTP or stamp on a mobile app, time- and location-stamped.

ePOD removes the weeks of delay involved in couriering paper PODs back to the billing office, and lets freight bills be raised as soon as delivery is proven. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
