Why does it take so long to complete the job?

When you accept the delivery signature, it does take a few seconds to complete the job and get back to the Work Order now showing Status 7 Complete. The reason it takes this time is because your device is performing several very important functions:

  1. It places the signature into a field that will show up on the Delivery Receipt and generates that receipt into a PDF file.
  2. The PDF file is emailed to all the official email addresses at the dealership, and to JKAT as well.
  3. A report is then generated and sent to Ford or Chrysler (or another shipper) for their visibility system. It tells them that the VINs on your Work Order are now delivered. These reports are mandated by the shippers.
In computer lingo, this is a rather lengthy process and I am amazed that it can be done in only a few seconds. When we did these manually and made all the copies to go along with it, it would take about one hour per load and it was very difficult, if not impossible to file them within the required time period. Thank you for helping us to get our reports filed on a timely basis!
