Solution · Retail Distribution
Store deliveries.
Documented before
the driver leaves.
Retail distribution teams use Podfy to capture photo evidence at every store drop — quantity received, condition on arrival, and any shortages or damage noted at handover.
The retail distribution documentation problem
Warehouse-to-store distribution is high-frequency and high-friction. Store managers report shortages or damage after the driver has gone. The carrier disputes the claim. The retailer's procurement team is stuck between two parties, neither of whom has usable evidence.
This cycle — shortage claim, carrier dispute, write-off or credit note — repeats across the industry. It exists because documentation at the point of handover is inconsistent: some stores sign CMRs, others don't, and neither captures condition or quantity at the moment of delivery.
Podfy closes this with a photo at handover. The driver photographs the delivery — goods in place, quantity visible, any damage noted. The store manager sees the same record. Both parties work from the same evidence. Disputes resolve in hours, not weeks.
- Photo evidence at handover — condition and quantity visible
- Shortage and damage codes captured at time of delivery
- Store manager and logistics team see the same record
- GPS confirms delivery location — correct store, correct bay
- Dispute resolution accelerated from weeks to hours
- Works for any carrier in your distribution network
Shortage claim? Photo says otherwise.
GPS-stamped photo at handover is the fastest way to resolve — or substantiate — a shortage claim.
How retail teams use Podfy
Use case 01
Store drop documentation
Driver photographs the delivery at the store — goods in place, quantity visible. GPS confirms the correct store. Record available in portal before driver reaches the next stop.
Use case 02
Shortage and damage capture
If goods are short or damaged, the driver selects the issue code at upload. The record shows what was delivered and what wasn't — before the carrier's version of events is constructed.
Use case 03
Store network audit
Procurement teams export delivery records by store, date range, or SKU reference for supplier audits. 7-year retention covers full commercial record-keeping requirements.
