Nightfreight looks to NX Framework
UK-based Nightfreight has chosen NX Framework, from DA Systems, to provide the logistics technology for its specialist 2-man home delivery (Deliver2home) service.
NX Framework has been rolled out to all 80 vehicle crews and is being used throughout Nightfreight’s 27 Deliver2home depots to ensure that accurate and timely delivery confirmation, including real-time, electronic Proof of Delivery (POD) is fed back to customers.
The solution also fully automates collection and delivery processes by the scanning of consignment barcode information, using handheld mobile-data devices, carried by each driver.
Through a web-portal, Nightfreight can now view every stage of the collection and delivery process, all in relation to the daily bookings, updated via each driver’s rugged Intermec CN50, in-cab device.
David Upton, managing director, DA Systems said “NX Framework has been designed to deliver to the core expertise of a customer’s business. The fully managed service offers a bespoke, mobile-data solution specifically designed to cater for the evolving requirements of today’s multi-contract, multi-customer, vertical markets and it precisely matches Nightfreight’s needs. With over 10 years experience in providing transport software solutions, we are keen to assist Nightfreight in adding value to their services and to provide a platform from which future additional services may be offered.”
Paul Tyson, director, Neightfreight’s Deliver2home said “Measurable financial savings are expected, not only through instant POD capture, but also via the automatic collection and delivery barcode verification. NX Framework provides us with the real-time operational data that we need to achieve our customer promises and the management data that we need to devise and roll-out clearly differentiated services.”
