Internet System:
Dawn Wing has a real time track and trace system with a superb Internet system available to our clients for reporting and follow through of shipments. This creates peace of mind for our clients who send sensitive items or have large distributions to see through.
IT Systems:
We are solutions driven and our operating IT system allows for fully comprehensive freight management.
Mobility:
Dawn Wing’s ability to deliver quality service is further enhanced by the deployment of Mobile Hand Held Devices, which facilitate communication of critical data between our central database and the driver out on the road. By employing such technology Dawn Wing is able to track your parcel from collection to delivery in real time, thus providing our clients with the ability to generate electronic proof of delivery within seconds after we have delivered the parcel. Another added advantage of this technology is its ability to scan bar coded Identity Documents; therefore we are able to provide clients with the ID number of individuals who signed for the parcel. This service requirement is critical in the movement of high value shipments.
This technology not only increases our track and trace ability but also increases operational efficiency. To add to this, our drivers will have better control and more flexibility when it comes to making collections and delivery times.
