Handling Orders
The core activity of a PUDO partner is receiving packages from logistics drivers and handing them to customers (or vice versa).
Receiving Packages (Drop-off)
When a logistics driver arrives with packages for your location:
- Open the Partner App.
- Tap "Receive".
- Scan the QR code on the package label (or type the code manually).
- Confirm the number of items received.
- The customer gets an automatic notification: "Your package is ready for pickup!".
- Store the package securely in your designated area.
Handing Over (Pickup)
When a customer comes to collect:
- Ask for their Pickup Code (sent via SMS/Email).
- Tap "Handover" in the app.
- Enter the Pickup Code.
- The app will show you which package to retrieve (e.g., "Package #123 - John Doe").
- Retrieve the package and give it to the customer.
- Complete the handover in the app.
Returns (Customer Drop-off)
Sometimes customers want to return items or send outgoing mail.
- Customer presents a package with a label/code.
- Tap "Receive Return".
- Scan the package.
- Store it until the logistics driver comes to pick it up.
Problem Solving
"Invalid Code"
- Ask the customer to double-check their SMS.
- Verify the package is actually at your shop (check status).
"Damaged Package"
- If a driver brings a damaged package, reject it in the app or mark it as "Received Damaged" and take a photo as proof. Do not accept liability for damage you didn't cause.
