Carrier manifests
The end-of-day handover document a courier signs for.
When the courier arrives, somebody has to hand over a list of what is going and get it acknowledged. That document is a manifest, and it exists to settle disputes about parcels that were collected and never scanned.
How it works
- Shipments dispatched in a period are collected into one manifest.
- It is generated at the end of the day rather than assembled by hand from the day’s orders.
Why it matters more than it sounds
A parcel that leaves your building and never appears in the carrier’s tracking is a claim you can only win with evidence of handover. Without a signed manifest, the conversation is your word about a parcel nobody scanned.
It is a boring document that pays for itself the first time a pallet goes missing.
What it does not do
It does not book collections or generate carrier labels. It is the record of what went out, not the integration that sends it.
Stop reconciling stock by hand
One catalogue, six channels, one stock figure that stays right.
