Scan freight bills and package labels with Opter Driver for iOS

Freight bills and package labels can be scanned with Opter Driver. The package ID and freight bill number can also be entered manually.

Scanning freight bills and package labels

  1. Log into the app. For more information, see Basics of Opter Driver for iOS.

  2. Tap Scanner at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Tap Pick up or Leave.

    A list of pickup or delivery locations is displayed, depending on whether Pick up or Leave has been selected.

  4. Click on Pick up from sender, Leave at receiver or on any of the terminals in the list. It is also possible to search for a terminal by entering the name of the terminal in the search box at the top.

    A list of scan types is displayed.

  5. Tap Freight bill or Package, depending on what you are scanning.

  6. If you have to type or scan a scan comment, this box appears (see image below). A scanning comment can be, for example, a QR code or a barcode placed on the wall inside a cold store. The reason for doing this is to ensure that the driver leaves the goods in the freezer and not outside.

    Do in one of the following ways:

    • Press the SCAN button (1) and scan the scan comment.

      The SCAN button (2) turns green when it has detected a QR code or barcode. When you are satisfied with the scan, press the SCAN button, and then the Save and start scanning button (3).

    • Press in the empty field (1) and enter the scan comment. Then press the button Save and start scanning (3).

    Note:

    The scan comment will be added to all packages and waybills that you scan, until you press End.

  7. Select one of the following:

    • Scan freight bills and package labels.

    • Enter the consignment note number or parcel number and then press the search icon.

    Tip

    To switch the mobile device's flashlight on or off, press the flash icon (A). Yellow flash icon means the torch is on (as in the picture below), grey flash icon means it is off.

  8. When you have finished scanning, go to End. One of the following happens:

    • If you scanned a consignment note, or scanned all the packages on the mission, the scan page closes and your scans are saved.

    • If you scanned parcels, but not all parcels on the mission, you will see a menu called Unscanned packages. If you want to scan the packages that have not yet been scanned, close the menu and continue scanning.

      If you do not want to continue scanning, you can press End (2) in the menu. The scan page closes and your scans are saved.

      Depending on the settings made by your system administrator, you may also have the possibility to add discrepancies to the packages that have not been scanned, by pressing the menu option Add deviation (1). (You can also add discrepancies for the parcels that have been scanned, see below.)

      If you do not want to add anomalies, click on End (2). The scan page closes and your scans are saved.

      If you click on the menu option Add deviation (1), you can choose for which packages the deviation should apply in the package list (3) by selecting (A) or deselecting (B) the different packages on the assignment. The packages that have not been scanned are highlighted (preselected) when the page is opened, but you can choose to deselect one or more of them.

      Record the discrepancy. Select Type (anomaly type), and optionally Event, Reason, write a comment and add images. Some fields may be mandatory, depending on the settings applied by your dispatcher.

      Note:

      Once Save has been tapped, it is no longer possible to change the deviation in the app.

      If a picture is added, it will be displayed at the bottom of the detail view, under Attached files. For more information, see Adding images in Opter Driver for iOS.

      Click on Save in the top right corner when you have finished registering the discrepancy. You will be returned to the scan list. Tap End. You will now have the possibility to add additional deviations to the parcels, by clicking on the menu item Add deviation (1). If you do not want to add any more derogations, click on End (2).

  9. If you scanned the delivery, you must fill in the proof of delivery and tap Save before you can do anything else in the app.

Example, delivery scanning

  1. Tap Scanner at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Tap Leave.

  3. Tap Leave at receiver.

  4. Tap Freight bill or Package, depending on what you are scanning.

  5. Scan freight bills and package labels.

    If you want to see the details of the scan, tap on the scan/assignment in the scan list.

  6. When you have finished scanning, go to End.

  7. If you scanned the delivery, you must fill in the proof of delivery and tap Save before you can do anything else in the app.
