Thousands of businesses still use paper documents and the amount of paper being wasted by businesses alone is having a detrimental effect on the environment. Although paper documents are the most traditional option, in this digital day and age, there are better solutions available. All organisations should be considering replacing paper documents with digital documents, especially as more pressure is being placed on them to become more sustainable, and there are several advantages to implementing digital alternatives.

For any business dealing in physical goods, a delivery docket is an essential piece of documentation as it describes not only what is being delivered but how much of each item is in the delivery also.

Typically, in a retail store, each delivery docket has a long journey. One document will travel from the distribution centre or manufacturer into the delivery truck, through to the store where it’s accepted in by the team, then it is passed to the accounts department to post onto the accounting system and finally multiple dockets are taken by courier to more filing cabinets in head office and eventually to an archive storage location.
