Here is how Edwin from Elevation Transport saves $150,000 using the App that Snappii built for his company. Snappii created a custom App for us. The App contains our BILL OF LADING, our Trailer Inspection, and our Truck Inspection.
Our challenge was: It could take up to 10 days for our drivers to drop off, fax, and/or mail BILL OF LADING’s back to the office. When we did receive the BILL OF LADING many times they were not legible. This, in turn, caused several problems, delayed the submission of invoices, which delayed payment, created extra work for our office staff due to the amount of paperwork getting handled regularly, and cost our company money.
The solution with our Snappii app: The App allows the driver to submit their BILL OF LADING’s with proof of delivery signatures immediately after delivery, which allows us to get invoices out immediately and decreases the time it takes our clients to pay us. There is less paperwork that needs to be handled therefore decreasing cost by $150,000.00 annually. The driver has everything he needs at his fingertips, his Electronic Bill Of Lading and Electronic Truck Inspection forms that need to be completed. Everything is emailed back to the office as well as saved in the cloud. We never have to worry about misplacing an important piece of paper. We love it!”
- What made Snappii App a good choice for you?
- This solution was completely customizable - this was the main reason for choosing Snappii. The solution looked pretty similar to your paper.
- How is the Heavy Hauler App saving you money?
- This app is so much easier than the paper-based process we used to have before. There's no handwriting, no need to catch up with the driver to see what was written, no need to wait to get the invoice. We used to have 5 people in the office doing paperwork. Now we have 2. We are making several million dollars a year with just 2 people in the office. This is outstanding. This wouldn't happen without our Heavy hauler app from Snappii. We have streamlined the process, getting paid faster, the savings are great. Additionally, we are getting paid faster with this heavy hauler mobile app.
- How did your drivers react to the app?
- At first there was resistance maybe the first couple of weeks. But maybe a month later, they realized they don't have to worry about numbers, no need to do much typing. We loved this app. The app is very easy and self-explanatory. Now they do all the bill of lading and inspections with it. They love it and never would want to go back to paper.
- How long did it take to adapt the app into your invoicing process?
- Now we can accelerate invoicing. There's no paper on my desk. I group all bill of ladinginto one invoice for a customer.
- How often do you need to fill in the inspection forms?
- I go thru all my equipment once a week and check Pass or Fail - no other records. The guys can also do the repairs. In case of an accident, we have all the documentation here right away.
- What are the other benefits of using the Heavy Hauler app from Snappii?
- I fill in the form for the dispatch, the driver opens up the form and sees there's a job for him. They know what they are doing tomorrow. All the details, this is pretty helpful when sometimes they forget what they are supposed to do, they open up the app to confirm they are on the right track. The process is cut down from weeks to days. Customers get the bills and pay faster. We love it.
While still so much is done with the paperwork, more and more companies realize the urgency of moving from the traditional paper process to mobile forms and Apps.
