In today’s fast-moving business environment, delivery notes play a critical role in confirming the dispatch and receipt of goods. Yet across industries, we are witnessing a worrying trend: the abuse and manipulation of delivery notes is on the rise, costing companies millions through fraud, loss of inventory, and broken trust with customers.
Delivery note abuse is real – and it’s costing businesses.
Across sectors, we’ve seen troubling examples:
- Counterfeit Delivery Notes: Unauthorized persons fabricating delivery documents to falsely claim goods were dispatched or received.
- Altered Quantities: Items listed in delivery notes being tampered with after dispatch, leading to stock discrepancies.
- Ghost Deliveries: Goods that never leave the warehouse, but are “proven” to have been delivered through manipulated paperwork.
- Unauthorized Duplicate Deliveries: A single delivery note being used multiple times to claim extra goods fraudulently.
These are not isolated incidents – they are systemic vulnerabilities that many companies, large and small, are grappling with daily.
Introducing Our Digital Verification Solution
Recognizing the urgent need for a solution, our team developed a seamless digital verification system that transforms how businesses manage and protect their delivery notes.
Here’s how it works:
- Every delivery note is automatically linked to a unique QR code.
- Upon scanning, the delivery details are instantly verified against the company’s ERP system – no manual cross-checks needed.
- Customers, dispatch teams, and receiving personnel can validate that a delivery note is genuine, active, and unaltered in real-time.
- Only submitted and authorized delivery notes can be verified – closing the loophole for ghost deliveries and unauthorized duplicates.
This solution not only safeguards physical inventory but also strengthens customer trust, reduces fraud risk, and improves operational transparency.
Why This Changes Everything
By digitizing and verifying delivery notes, businesses will finally be able to:
- Eliminate manual verification errors that bad actors exploit.
- Empower customers to instantly confirm deliveries themselves.
- Shut down counterfeit attempts before they cause damage.
- Create a tamper-proof trail of every dispatch made.
What was once a vulnerable, paper-driven process becomes a secure, verifiable digital experience – ensuring goods move as intended, and accountability is upheld at every stage.
