Proof of delivery

Proof of delivery (POD) is a document or digital record that confirms a shipment has been delivered to its final recipient. It serves as an official acknowledgment of receipt and is a crucial part of the delivery process. Traditionally, a POD was a paper document signed by the recipient upon arrival. Today, it is increasingly a digital record that includes an electronic signature, a timestamp, GPS coordinates of the delivery location and even photos of the delivered goods.

POD is more than just a formality. It is a vital tool for verifying that goods were delivered as agreed, protecting all parties in the transaction. For logistics companies and businesses, a clear POD helps resolve disputes, validates billing and ensures accountability across the supply chain. For the customer, it offers peace of mind and a verifiable record of a successful delivery. The absence of a clear POD can lead to billing issues, customer complaints and a lack of trust between partners.
