As we move into the next phase of the global effort to keep Coronavirus in check, it has been quite difficult to keep track of what the rules are - especially as they keep changing! However, when it comes to the transmission of the disease in the logistics industry, there has been some concrete information issued with regards to how much of a threat it is.

According to research carried out by the World Health Organisation (WHO), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Journal of Hospital Infection, it would appear that transmission via cardboard and paper isn’t a major concern. That’s because Covid-19 is typically able to survive on non-porous surfaces, which of course, paper and cardboard isn’t.

The Need to Stay Vigilant

Whilst this is certainly good news for people in the logistics sector, it shouldn’t be seen as a green light to resume business as normal just yet, as person-to-person contact still represents a major risk of infection. The need to remain vigilant has never been greater in order to protect lives, meaning that we all need to keep our distance from each other.

That’s what’s great about the HUB 360 digital delivery platform, as it is completely paperless - meaning that the small risk of catching Covid-19 from paperwork is completely eliminated. In addition to this, our platform offers an efficient way to load and dispatch delivery vehicles without anyone having to get too close to each other.

The HUB 360 platform is able to eliminate the need for any paper to be used by:

• Allowing paperless picking documentation to be signed via the app

• Providing dispatch notes to the driver through the driver app

• Sending invoices to the customer by email, as well as all other documentation

• Point of Delivery (PoD) signatures are eliminated thanks to the driver app

Not only that but the HUB 360 platform digitally captures all activity that occurs and securely stores it in an organised fashion, so that it can be easily retrieved at a later date. Using our digital platform, you should never need to use paper again!

Employees Need to Feel Safe

Whilst things are undoubtedly getting better in terms of social restriction, there is still a lot of fear out there amongst workforces that they could become infected. Employees need to feel safe and to know that their employers are taking all the necessary steps needed to keep them protected.

By investing in the HUB 360 digital delivery platform, you not only ensure that minimal contact between employees is maintained, but also reap the many associated business benefits like efficient time use, optimum truck loads, overall transparency of operation and ultimately customer satisfaction. When all things are considered, what’s not to like?
