EXISTING SYSTEM OF COURIER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Our client is not using its own online system for courier management. They are using some third-party tool to manage the consignment. There was no customisation for the client.

USER INTERFACE DESIGN OF COURIER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

UI plays a major role in the success of any software. Simple, user-friendly and standard UI makes visitors experience great and which means the software is going to be successful.

Sometimes very smooth and has very good database design software can’t able to make their existence in the market because of its UI.

The Courier Management System hassles out all the complication of conventional method which is a combination of the interaction to human.Each profile has its own UI which is customized by our experienced team to make them feel like they are special.

We have developed very simply, User-friendly UI with all standardization. Following are the interfaces

LOGIN PAGE:

Basically, for any software security is a major concern. So, we have developed a secure application. Without being authenticated no user is allowed to view any other interfaces.

For login page, we have User ID, Password, Profile. After being authenticated user is authorized to perform certain work according to his/her profile.

PROFILE PAGE:

Every user has his own profile. From here they can change their information like a correction in name, email id, address etc.

AUTO TRACKING:

Every consignment is attached with a barcode and this bar is scan at every branch and stop. This will help the user to get the current status of the courier.

AUTO BILL EMAIL:

When any consignment is booked and payment has been cleared. An auto-generated email would send to customer email id. This would consider as confirmation for payment.

EMAIL NOTIFICATION:

Consignment tracking update would send to the customer using this system automatically. The user gets email notification as their consignment goes on.

BARCODE:

Due to use of barcode process of tracking the couriers becomes easier. Barcodes are often the means whereby tracking data tagged with consignment in Courier management system.

A barcode reader is used to read barcodes and look up info on the products they represent. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and wireless methods of product identification are also growing in fame.
