We've seen improved accuracy and reduced risk of errors or mistakes. It’s given us much better visibility as we have the POD information and related images readily available within SAP.
Aston Manor has transformed its proof of delivery process with PreBilt. What was once a paper heavy, manual operation is now automated, digital and fully connected to SAP. Less time chasing paperwork and more time on the jobs that matter.
Aston Manor had a POD process built around paper. Delivery documents were printed, signed by customers, returned to head office, manually checked, typed up in SAP then stored for future reference. It worked, just, but it took time. Lots of it. As the business grew, the process got harder to manage and difficult to scale, with more risk of human error.
PreBilt changed that. It's given Aston Manor simpler, digitised, more accurate proof of delivery without changing how the business works. Drivers now capture photos of signed documents, damaged goods and evidence on the move. Everything uploads automatically into SAP, linked to the specific delivery, so teams have instant visibility without the need for manual tasks and storage.
Since go-live, Aston Manor has saved more than 1,000 hours a year in document handling alone. Plus, with PreBilt, they can independently adapt their processes as the business evolves, with simple configurations for full scalability.
“Tasks that previously required physical paperwork, sorting and manual input have largely been automated or removed entirely. As a result, we've saved over 1,000 hours per year.”
“The biggest benefit of the business has been the level of control we now have over the POD process... we've been able to adapt it to new requirements such as supporting our logistics, backhaul, collection and delivery operations without needing to fundamentally change the platform.” Connor Organ, SAP Project Technical Lead, Aston Manor.
