XATA Corporation has integrated best-in-class proof-of-delivery (POD) software with XATANET, its on-demand fleet operations software. XATA's POD enablement will look to such partners as Systems Application Engineering (SAE) and Airversent to offer near real-time communication of delivery exceptions and the elimination of driver paperwork.

With its latest release, XATANET enables POD functionality for SAE, running on a Symbol handheld device to integrate with a XATANET-supported in-cab device. Future releases will see enablement of Airversent POD, increased handheld device support, and increasingly tighter integration.

POD enablement uses XATANET's vehicle data and the POD software inventory data to take the burden of paperwork off drivers. Collecting delivery and inventory data electronically also eliminates errors associated with paperwork and lets users automatically record inventory changes. This functionality also allows drivers to obtain POD signatures, validate orders at delivery, and record inventory status electronically.
