ePOD Guide 2020

Page 1

Introduction

2018 saw the implementation of Electronic Proof of Deliveries across our Materials delivery processes. Electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) offers our Customers, Hauliers and colleagues the ability to track loads in real time and access delivery information quicker than ever before.

Since implementing ePOD our Materials business has consistently been sending over 95% of all loads electronically, which is a massive digital transformation. This User Guide contains everything you need to know about our electronic delivery process, both from a Haulier and a Tarmac employee perspective. If a Haulier is experiencing problems with the PODFather application or their device (only if the device is issued by Tarmac) then please ensure they contact the ePOD device helpline on

0345 0711 350 This line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on every day apart from Christmas day.

“New technology, especially if you’re not familiar with it, can be daunting. Our drivers have been fantastic – even with initial apprehension, they’ve listened and really embraced the new way of working, resulting in not a single call from drivers regarding login issues when we switched on for real, which is credit to their willingness to learn.” Kirsty Paton, Transport Account Manager, Scotland “After just a week and a half in, I was made up with ePOD. I can really see the benefits and love the idea of the haulier ticket portal so I can check all my tickets. Change can be tricky, but we’ve had lots of help to get used to it and it now feels like a doddle. It sounds like a small thing, but dealing with paper when it rains can be a real pain. Thanks to ePOD there’ll be no more drying of wet tickets on the cab dash! So far, ePOD is good – if it makes my life easier, then I’m happy.” Graham Thirlaway, a Haulier based out of Coxhoe

Site set-up Setting up a new plant

For new plants or mothballed plants being activated, the responsible person needs to place a call with the Tarmac IT helpdesk who will create an incident number. This will start the process for the new plant activation. The Tarmac IT helpdesk will pass the request to the relevant person within their department who will make contact with the requestor to provide details of the form to be completed.

For mothballed plants that already have a plant code, IT are responsible for checking that this exists in PODFather, requesting it to be created if it does not.

Part of this form asks if ePOD is to be active at this plant. Select the relevant options.

If the plant has requested to be active for ePOD Collects, a collect login will be required for the plant device. Again, it is Tarmac IT’s responsibility to ensure this exists, passing on the login details to the requester.

Once the new plant code has been created in SAP the plant will then also be automatically added to PODFather. If you experience any issues with this process please email epod.enquiries@tarmac.com

Overall, it is the requesters responsibility to ensure all necessary steps have been completed.

Site set-up How to get ePOD WiFi for new plants

For new plants or mothballed plants being activated, the responsible person needs to place a request with the IT service desk for Meraki WiFi with the ePOD SSID activated. IT service desk will raise an incident number that will be used to track the request.

When this has been completed, site users will be able to see the ePOD WiFi on their devices.

IT should make the necessary arrangements to survey the plant to understand the equipment requirements and then should dispatch an engineer to install the equipment.

Please note this WiFi is restricted and does not allow open access to the internet. This WiFi network will only allow data associated with ePOD to be sent and received.

Once installed the equipment will be commissioned and made active on the Meraki dashboard where it will be assigned the ePODÂ SSID.

Site set-up What is ePOD & how does it work?

ePOD (Electronic Proof Of Delivery) is a paperless delivery system that uses signon-glass technology on Android and Apple mobile devices. ePOD (Electronic Proof Of Delivery) is a paperless delivery system that uses sign-on-glass technology on Android and Apple mobile devices.

All our materials plants are equipped with devices for collect loads to be signed for and completed on.

Tarmac implemented ePOD across the materials business during 2018.

ePOD provides greater visibility and proof-ofdelivery for our materials deliveries, as well as live statuses to our customers.

ePOD is fundamental to our business and to our customers, who expect an improved user experience and enhanced customer service throughout the delivery process. Our fleet have devices to complete delivered loads on. They capture the signature from our customers electronically.

10 | ePOD user guide

Customers can track their loads live via the Customer Portal. Once their load has left our plant a notification will be sent direct to the customer to advise their material is enroute. Once the ticket has been completed on either the collect or the hauliers device an electronic version of the signed ticket is emailed to the customer. Or it can be downloaded from the tarmac customer portal.


Collect tablet How to order devices for a new plant

The request should be made through the ePOD Device helpline by calling 0345 0711350. The caller should advise that a new plant is being set-up within the Tarmac portfolio. The caller should advise the ePOD Device helpline of the following: • Plant name • Address • Main contact (name, phone number & email address) • What equipment is required Standard ePOD equipment package: A standard setup for a single plant is one activated device for use by the weighbridge / batch cabin for collect loads, a powered cradle, bracket and pedestal unit, and a security cable. A non activated (buffer) device will be provided to be used in the event of a breakage. Peak Ryzex who provide the ePOD support service will advise you of the equipment costs. Once they have a completed order form and purchase order they will ship the required equipment to site. The cradle and associated charging equipment can be installed by your local fitter. **Please note; The engineer is only permitted to attach the cradle to a desk, if you would like the cradle to be fitted to the wall this will need to be done by your local fitter.

Multiple ticketing points - same building/location

Multiple ticketing points - different building/location If the new plant has multiple ticketing points from the different buildings/locations then a “Standard ePOD equipment package” should be ordered per location. Once the request has been placed with the ePOD Device helpline, they will raise a support desk ticket, which will trigger their internal process. The requestor will be requested to complete an order form and raise a purchase order for the required amount. This will be submitted to the vendor by email for the desired equipment. The quote will include the requested equipment, plus sim cards per device, standard software packages and services. The Purchase Order (PO) for the goods should be raised and submitted back to the ePOD Device helpline along with the details of where they should be shipped to. A contact name and number for the delivery is also required. Peak Ryzex’s (ePOD Device helpline) vendor number is: 168379 Once a PO has been raised and provided to the vendor, the equipment will be ordered.

If the new plant has multiple ticketing points from the same building/location, then multiple activated devices for use by the weighbridges / batch cabins along with all the other associated equipment (powered cradles, brackets, pedestal units, and security cables) will need to be requested, but only a single non-activated (buffer) device will be required.

ePOD user guide | 11


Collect tablet New Plant Set up for ePOD

When a new plant comes on line, as part of the IT set up process that Plant must be activated in SAP and Fortek. When a Plant is created in SAP/Fortek it can be configured for both ePOD Deliveries and ePOD Collections. If you select Collections, then you must also request that IT set up the relevant details in PODFather in order for Collect ePOD tickets to be allocated to the correct device. Additionally you must ensure that the site is set up for 10 digit ticketing in order for ePOD ticketing to work correctly.

12 | ePOD user guide

All of these are actioned through the IT Site process. You must also ensure the site has numberless tickets for the printer.

Driver training New driver induction

Overview Tarmac operate an Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD) system. The vast majority of tickets are fully electronic and therefore you will need either an Apple or an Android device with the PODFather application downloaded in order to receive and process jobs. The default Username and Password for the ePOD application is your vehicle registration without spaces, we recommend changing the password on your first log in - please ensure this is something memorable.

The ePOD application records all necessary delivery information and records this against the job and all POD information is visible to our Hauliers, Tarmac and to our Customers, making ePOD a single source of the truth for delivery data. There is a dedicated Haulier Ticketing Portal which you will be granted access to, this holds PODs for all of your delivered loads. You should receive an email containing your login details, if you need this resending then please contact your Haulier Helpdesk. On the rare occasions where a delivery is to be made with a paper ticket then it is essential that valid, readable and printed name and signature are obtained on the paper ticket.

ePOD user guide | 23


Safety information You should not make calls from your mobile phone or interact with your ePOD device unless your vehicle is stationary with the ignition off and you are parked in a safe place with your handbrake applied. • No mobile phone shall be used to accept calls whilst the vehicle is moving. • No telematics or ePOD equipment shall be used whilst driving.

• Text messages must only be read when the vehicle is stationary, parked in a safe place and handbrake applied. • Ensure that three-points of contact are maintained by facing the vehicle cab on entry and exit. If you need to alight your cab with your ePOD device then please place this in a safe place (such as a clothing pocket, accessible vehicle pocket or on the floor) so that you can retrieve the device once you are safe.

• All satellite navigation systems must be programmed prior to setting off and must NOT be reprogrammed whilst driving.

Driver training Mobile device usage

Tarmac is committed to ensuring the safety of it’s colleagues, customers, contractors and partners. As part of our continued commitment to safety, we continually review our operations and industry activities to help us find ways to reduce the risk of incidents. The following rules apply to all employees, employed drivers and contractors working on behalf of Tarmac.

When can mobile devices be used? Mobile devices must only be used to process delivery information. Manual interactions are required and these can only take place when vehicles are stationary. Any devices issued by Tarmac as part of the ePOD project are programmed to ensure that screens automatically go blank when vehicle movement is detected. This setting cannot be manually over-ridden. When you are outside of your cab then you must only use the device when you are stationary and in a safe place. It is important that you always maintain a good awareness of your surroundings.

Take care! In order to capture a signature at the point of delivery, you will need to hand the device to the appropriate person on site who is accepting the load. We’ve all heard examples of the seriousness of slips, trips and falls in our business. They happen suddenly and are totally unexpected. The result of a slip, trip or fall can be painful and possibly end in permanent injury that could be life changing. The majority of slips, trips and falls happen during access and egress and this risk can be increased through a number of factors such as wet and slippery surfaces and uneven ground etc. Therefore, IF you need to exit your cab to obtain a signature then you must always ensure that: • You are wearing the correct PPE • Your cab is kept clean and free of hazards • Any spillages are cleared up immediately • Always use provided grab / hand rails • Any defects or risks are reported immediately • Do not jump off raised surfaces • Only carry what you can reasonably handle • Maintain awareness of your surroundings • Maintain 3 points of contact when necessary, do not have the device in your hand whilst accessing or egressing your vehicle.

Quote Creation Customer guide

The past 5 years have seen massive developments around delivery processes. Customers now expect to know where their deliveries are and when they are due. That is why ePOD (Electronic Proof Of Delivery) is so important. In our daily life we use electronic receipts, smart devices and sign-on-glass technology. Courier companies will now send you early notifications and allow you to track your deliveries online often in real-time on a map.

• Dispatch Notifications with 1 hour delivery times

In contrast Tarmac knows our traditional paper ticketing process was time consuming and inefficient for the customer, the haulier and our internal teams. For us our paper process used outdated & end-of-life technology.

• Contribute to substantially reducing your Carbon Footprint

This is why Tarmac has implemented an electronic proof of delivery (ePOD), in order to improve the experience for all and to provide better customer service throughout the delivery process.

What is ePOD and what does it do? ePOD is a paperless delivery system that uses “sign-on-glass” technology on Android and Apple mobile devices. ePOD will provide greater visibility and immediate “proof-of-delivery” for our Materials business, as well as live statuses updates to our customers.

How will ePOD benefit me?

48 | ePOD user guide

• Track and trace each delivery in real-time • Instant POD’s - Delivery documents emailed to customers at time of delivery or available from the Tarmac on-line portal

• Physical documents can no longer be damaged, lost, misread or misfiled • Improved data will accurately record time on site whilst capturing any potential material changes, such as water additions • Electronic signature and name capture • Reduced queries - more accurate Invoicing • Quickly resolved disputes with the utilisation of electronic copies of signatures and photographic evidence For more information, please contact the team mailbox: epod.enquiries@tarmac.com


Receiving an ePOD delivery on your site When our driver arrives at your site, they will confirm the site is safe for them to proceed with the delivery. In the cases of Ready Mix deliveries, the driver will need to record if a conveyor is being used.

The Tarmac driver will hand the device to you and ask you to review the details of the delivery.

Your first and last name will need to be entered, followed by a signature.

Please ensure your signature is clear and fills the signature box.

The driver will now proceed with your delivery.

ePOD user guide | 49


In some cases your driver will ask for a second signature. You will be asked for a second signature in the following cases:• Time on site over 30 minutes • Returned material • Factors affecting material specification OR Water Additions You can see what you are signing for on the screen

You can rate your delivery at any of the signature screens

FAQS What if I need a paper ticket?

What if I do not want to accept the delivery?

Paper tickets will no longer be generated as part of Tarmac’s delivery process.

You can reject a Tarmac delivery using the device held by the driver.

Customers will receive tickets in electronic format which can be printed at the customers discretion.

How do I log a query against an ePOD Ticket?

Tickets can be accessed with from: • the link provided within the material dispatch notification email • the pdf document provided in the load completion email • the Tarmac Customer Portal.

How do I let you know who to send my electronic proof of delivery to? When you ask for a quote from Tarmac or place your order, you will be able to give us the email address where you would like your tickets to be sent to.

What if I am collecting my material rather than having a delivery from Tarmac? When you collect material from a Tarmac site, you will be asked to sign on a Tablet identical to the ones our drivers carry. A copy of the ticket will be emailed to you. Alternatively, you will be able to ask for a receipt at the plant which you can carry with you in the case you are required to provide proof of the load and weight.

Why do some Proof of Delivery not show a signature? There may be some instances in which a digital signature could not be captured (ie no one is on site to sign). In these instances our drivers will capture a photo of the delivered load.

You will continue to log invoice queries in exactly the same way as you do today. You will need to quote the invoice number when logging a query with Tarmac. This can be done on the customer portal or by emailing invoicequeries@tarmac. com

Once the job has been received on the driver’s device ask the driver to log out. **Note** If the driver goes into the job and starts it, this will send a notification to the customer, and may also result in the ticket disappearing from the device overnight. The following day the driver will need to log in to his device as per normal and complete their vehicle check. They will now be able to continue with the delivery on their device.

Delivery How to create a manual ticket in PODFather

This isn’t required; we just need to state if manual tickets are required the driver is to hand the device to the Tarmac operative who will manually add the ticket to their device. The device will be handed back to the driver at the start job point. The driver should then complete the workflow as per a regular delivery.

102 | ePOD user guide


Delivery How to create and complete a manual ticket

If manual tickets are required for any reason, these are no longer to be handwritten, instead they will now be created in the drivers application for a delivered load and on the Tarmac site device for a collected load.

To complete a Manual Ticket, click on the icon in the top right hand corner of your device to open up the menu.

Scroll down the menu and select the appropriate ‘Manual Ticket’.

Press to start the selected manual ticket creation

Fill in the details, all boxes marked with * are compulsory. Without data in these spaces you will not be able to progress with the ticket. For collect loads enter collect in the delivery address field. If you know the job number or quote number add this too, however this data is not compulsory, if you add this it will ensure that the ticket is linked to the correct job and will charge the correct customer. Once all the fields have been populated, select the appropriate response to the cash sale question, press continue.

ePOD user guide | 103


If the manual ticket is a cash sale, you will be asked to enter the cash values, Net, VAT, and Gross, click Start Manual Ticket.

For delivered loads pass the tablet back to the driver at the Start Job Screen.

Note: As this is a manual ticket the job screen does not detail the full delivery address. The Tarmac plant / weighbridge operator should ensure that the driver is aware of the full address before leaving the plant.

For collect loads you will then be taken to the customer name and signature screen, the customer must type in their first and last name using the keyboard and click on enter signature. The customer must then sign their name on the tablet and press save in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Then complete job.

104 | ePOD user guide


Delivery Returned loads: A&A

The driver will be prompted to confirm if there is any returned material before completing each ticket. Returned loads are completed on the drivers device.

If they answer Yes, they will be asked to enter an estimated net tonnage. Once they arrive back at the Tarmac site, the driver is asked if the weighbridge operative is available.

If Yes the driver will hand the tablet to the weighbridge operative to enter the actual net tonnage. The weighbridge operative will also have to type their first and last name and sign on the device.

If No, where possible and safe to do so the driver is responsible for capturing the weight on the weighbridge display and take a picture of the returned material once tipped in the designated area before completing the ticket.

ePOD user guide | 105


Delivery Returned loads: RMX

**Note** Drivers / Plant staff need to comply to existing procedures including adding an event in Nimrod. The driver will be prompted to confirm if there is any returned material before completing each ticket. An estimated quantity is required before completing the workflow on the device. Returns are not processed through the device but the estimated returned load quantity will be recorded on the ticket. This does not create a blockable event

106 | ePOD user guide


Delivery Redirected loads: A&A

Where a load has left our site and is on the way to a customer (site 1) but for multiple reasons we need to redirect the load on to another customer (site 2). The driver should cancel the first ticket by pressing driver query. You will then be required to take a photo and writing a brief explanation in the haulier comments as to why it is cancelled. This will then remove the first ticket from their device. The first ticket issued should have an event added to it so this blocks allowing customer charges and haulier payments to be amended as required.

Select the most relevant event, for example GW01 Redirected. Add the secondary ticket number to comments of the event raised against ticket 1. This needs to come above the paragraph before, they need to do this before they can do the previous step.

ePOD user guide | 107


Delivery Redirected RMX loads

Where a load has left our site and is on the way to a customer (site 1) but for multiple reasons we need to redirect the load on to another customer (site 2).

Add a new job for the customer who is accepting the redirected load (If the receiving customer is currently having a pour remember to reduce the overall quantity)

The driver should cancel the first ticket by pressing driver query. They will then be required to take a photo and write a brief explanation in the haulier comments as to why it is cancelled.

NOTE: Copy and paste the quote details from the F1 screen and overtype Name / Site details with the redirected load details with the standard redirect text ***REDIRECTED LOAD*** ***ORIG BATCH TIME*** as per screen shot. Add the customers name in the 3rd row to avoid any future invoice queries.

This will then remove the first ticket from the device.

SAVE the job in the usual way.

108 | ePOD user guide


The batcher can then generate the ticket for the second site against the correct job. The second ticket should be generated as if the vehicle is at the plant. Confirm via phone that the driver has rejected the first ticket and received the new second ticket. This ticket is to be completed in the usual way.

The second ticket should also be blocked to allow the office to ensure the correct radials are paid to the haulier across the two tickets. Viewing the load screen clearly shows the “redirected load�.

The first ticket issued should have an event added to it so this blocks allowing customer charges and haulier payments to be amended as required. GW01 is for redirection – add the original ticket number to the event comments so the two can be matched up.

ePOD user guide | 109


When you tab into the load in the load screen the redirected load and details are clearly visible.

110 | ePOD user guide


When the load is received on the ePOD device it is clearly displayed that it is a “redirected Load” and shows the “Orig batch time”

When the customer is required to check the load details and sign for the load they are able to clearly see the original batch time of the load.

“Redirected load” and “Original batch time” are clearly shown on the customer signature page.

Once approved, your user accounts and passwords will be sent to you by email.

How to access the service Once you have your IDs and passwords, you can log on using: https://www.the PODFather.com

112 | ePOD user guide

Your password is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as it appears within your confirmation email. Enter your credentials into the boxes at the top right of the screen.


Getting started with the PODFather home screen You can carry out a number of actions from the home screen • Run Reports • Upload Jobs • View Jobs • View POD’s (Proof of Delivery) • View Vehicle Checks • View Incident Reports

The top menu of the page has a few common actions listed. You can view the additional actions by selecting the 4 grey squares on the top bar.

• Job Allocations • View Booking Changes • Track Vehicles • Route Planner • View Health Details Of Drivers Devices • View Weighbridge Plans • View Customer Details and Account Numbers • Add maps

If at any point you wish to return to the home page, select the button at the top left of the page.

Using the Job Screen to monitor live delivery information You will be taken to this screen. The Jobs Screen will detail all tickets that are on the drivers ePOD devices so can take a while to load. To speed this process up, the screen will default to show only live jobs for the prior 2 days.

Add “Refining your search allows you to override the default” You can use the Jobs Screen in PODFather to monitor your drivers current status. This will help to ensure we have completed POD’s for all our deliveries. We can also use the job screen to help reduce invoice queries by monitoring driver behavior live on the day.

ePOD user guide | 113


Ticket numbers will be in either the Jobs Screen when live or the POD Screen when completed.They will never appear in both. Until a driver has pressed Complete Job on the ePOD device, the ticket will be in the Jobs Screen.

On the top toolbar in PODFather - Select Jobs

You will be taken to this screen. The Jobs Screen will detail all tickets that are on the drivers ePOD devices so can take a while to load. To speed this process up, the screen will default to show only live jobs for the prior 2 days.

When you open the Jobs Screen you will see a screen similar to this:

You can see if the job has been allocated to the driver or if the job is on the drivers device. If at any point you wish to return to the home page, select the button at the top left of the page.

114 | ePOD user guide


If the status shows as ‘On Handheld’ this means the ticket is on the driver’s device.

If the status shows as ‘Allocated’ this means the ticket is ‘in the cloud’ waiting to appear on the driver’s device.

*The tickets will appear as allocated If the driver is not logged in or still completing his vehicle check.* All tickets appear as ‘Allocated’ for a brief moment before they arrive on the driver’s device.

When a driver logs out of the PODFather app any tickets left uncompleted will return to the allocated status. Ticket will move between Allocated and On Handheld for a maximum of 7 days.

After 7 days, PODFather will no longer send a ticket back to a driver’s device as all tickets should be completed at the time of the delivery. Under Job Type you see the current status of the job on the drivers device.

If you select the blue text you will be able to see the key button presses from the driver’s delivery.

ePOD user guide | 115


As you can see the ticket status in the Job screen changes as the driver progresses with the delivery.

When the driver has got to the status of Completed Discharge, the Complete Job button should be pressed on the tablet and then the ticket will appear in the POD screen. You will no longer see the ticket on the Jobs Screen.

Any tickets not completed on the same day as the delivery date will block in SAP when the ticket interface runs overnight. This does not include pre-load tickets. It is imperative that the ticket is completed accurately and fully and in a timely manner. This allows prompt and correct payment to the haulier and accurate invoicing to the customer.

116 | ePOD user guide

The job screen can be used to monitor driver behaviour during the day. For example if it is 3pm and the drivers status was Arrived At Site at 9.36am we could chase the driver to complete the ticket correctly. In this example the driver is creating a Time on site charge to the customer that may be incorrect. You can message drivers by using the message function in PODFather.

Ticket events How to delete a job in PODFather

Sometimes you will need to delete a job from PODFather. This may be if the ticket was cancelled in SAP but failed to delete from PODFather. You may also delete a job from PODFather if we can confirm a paper ticket has been signed.

• To delete a job from PODFather, select the jobs screen and input the vehicle reg or ticket number you are searching for. Ensure the date range is also correct.

• Select ‘Search’ and the job/ jobs will appear

• When a job is showing as ‘On Handheld’ we are not able to delete the ticket. The driver is able to reject the ticket at this point direct from their tablet. • We can force a ticket into the ‘Allocated’ status

144 | ePOD user guide

• Open a new PODFather screen, select “Account”, then “Drivers” and input drivers reg, and select


• This will push the job through to the ‘Allocated’ status so that when you go back to the jobs screen in your other tab and hit the refresh button, the box to select will be there:

• Now you can select the box and delete the job.

• When deleting a job, you must make sure each one has been investigated, to ensure that you are not deleting the only version of the truth.

ePOD user guide | 145


Reasons for deleting a job • It is stuck on the drivers device due to no connection, or error and so a paper ticket was printed. We should always ensure we do have a signed ticket before deleting. • It is an old job from pre epod. • It is a cancelled ticket that wasn’t completed on the drivers device - and the cancellation message did not reach PODFather from Fortek. Any ticket showing as cancelled in SAP can be deleted from PODFather. For this make sure there is another ticket created in ZT40A, and we need to make sure the drivers are aware or being told they are not completing the cancellation process, thus driving better driver behaviour.

Ticket events How to Web Receipt a job in PODFather

Web receipting is designed for tickets that do not get completed by the drivers. Occasionally we need to intervene to ensure we capture a copy of a ticket. If we monitor the Job Screen proactively, the need to Web Receipt tickets or have ePOD data not received blocks in SAP is vastly reduced. Web receipting should be used with caution as any ePOD data captured by the driver is lost as well as any signature gathered from our customers.

Drivers should always be asked to complete tickets rather than web receipting. For the reasons above, Web Receipting has restricted access in PODFather. Please contact your regional PODFather administrator to see who has access to this function - or to gain you access if it is required by your job role. • Select the Jobs screen in PODFather. • Input the vehicle reg or ticket number and make sure you enter the correct date.

Web receipting is in place to make sure we still have a copy of a ticket, even without a signature. Any ticket without a signature could result in an invoice query.

ePOD user guide | 147


• After doing all your investigating, and are certain the ticket needs receipting, you can select the ticket like this.

• This symbol is “Web Receipt”, select this and input the customers name and this then will receipt the ticket.

148 | ePOD user guide


• The ticket will then look like this.

• As you can see the haulier information is removed from the ticket, and there is no customer signature.

Invoicing How to investigate an ePOD ticket not being received by a customer

If you receive an invoice query for a copy POD, you can investigate the error to ensure the customer receives all POD’s going forward and to reduce future Invoice Queries.

This is for ePOD only tickets. Any non-ePOD tickets will need to be dealt with as they were pre-ePOD.

Investigating a missing POD • Firstly check the ticket in ZT10 in SAP

• You can see if the ticket was an ePOD ticket

• There are 3 different ticket types you may see: -

View the quote via ZQ03 or via the link in the ticket.

• ePOD - Full ePOD ticket on tablet where we also got a customers signature • Track Only - ePOD would track the drivers tablet but there was no customer signature on the workflow. A paper ticket was given to the drivers and would need to be signed. Pre ePOD Go Live drivers had the option to receive ‘slimmed down’ ePOD workflows on their tablets. This gave them chance to play around with the workflows but also get the paper tickets signed. • Non ePOD - Paper ticket as pre-ePOD • ePOD NO / Track Only

170 | ePOD user guide


Checking the quote is correct • Select the ship to party.

• And then the shipping tab, check the quote is ePOD enabled and also has an email address.

ePOD user guide | 171


• If ePOD enabled is not ticked and the email is greyed out, please try and amend the quote. You need to be in ‘Change Quote’ mode. • You will only be able to tick the ePOD box if the customer’s account is active for ePOD.

• For all ePOD NO and Track only ticket or where the customer / quote was not ePOD enabled, a paper ticket will have been produced. The customer should contact invoice.queries@tarmac.com to raise an invoice query so a POD can be sent out by business admin.

• This is a good opportunity to advise the customer on how to self serve on the Customer Portal, by registering on https://www.tarmac. com/customers-suppliers/tarmac-online/

• If there is no POD and the ticket is still showing in the jobs screen ask the driver to complete to POD so it can be emailed over.

Haulage Haulier ticketing portal information

Once a new vendor has been set up on the system, an onboarding email should automatically be emailed out to the address we hold on file, this will be the same address that receives their Haulier Self Bill.

If for any reason the Haulier does not receive an email then please follow the following process to onboard them manually:

Haulier Portal Access If a haulier requests access to the haulier portal this can now be done via PODFather. Before triggering the email please confirm the hauliers email address without disclosing the email we store on the system. We have no means to confirm identity etc and so we cannot make any changes or give out any information to individuals.

If the email given does not match what is held in the system then you could prompt them by advising it is “the email to which their Haulier Self Bills are sent”. If they are still unable to answer then we must refer them to the transport team or Logistics Services

Instructions Select the “quadrant” button

ePOD user guide | 177


And select “Hauliers�

Use search (this is not a smart search field at the moment so type in details and hit return) to find the haulier in question

Haulage Driver Behaviour

To ensure accuracy of data and enable us to pay Hauliers correctly, it is essential that drivers interact with their device properly. All drivers MUST: 1. Log in to PODFather at the start of every shift and out at the end of the shift. • Their username and password by default are the vehicle registration without any spaces. • Failure to log in and out daily will result in us not being able to update their application. This increases the likelihood of problems occuring, which will result in downtime whilst the device is fixed and updated. • Failure to log out means the application will be tracking outside of working hours 2. Press the start job button when they leave the plant to start their delivery. • This will notify the customer that their load is en route, therefore pressing the button at the wrong time makes this notification inaccurate. 3. Press the arrived at site button when you arrive at the delivery location.

5. Always use their best endeavour to collect the customer’s signature. • If unable to collect a signature, the driver should call the office and follow the instructions given. It is recommended that drivers ALWAYS take a photo in circumstances where nobody is available to sign. • This evidence can be used in the event of the customer disputing delivery. 6. Press finish discharge • This is when the time on site recording finishes, used for waiting time calculations. • Note: If significant delays are encountered leaving site then a query should be raised for payment of additional waiting time 7. Press complete the job when ready to leave the site. • This triggers the POD to be sent to the customer. • This provides colleagues with useful information and the vehicle can now progress to its’ next load.

• The information can be used to confirm delivery time in the event of a dispute so it is essential that the button is pressed at the corresponding point in the delivery process. • The arrival time will also start the time on site recording, used in waiting time calculations. 4. Press start discharge. • This allows colleagues, customers and hauliers know that the delivery is proceeding.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE WILL MINIMISE THE NEED FOR INTERVENTION / SANCTIONS

This doesn't mean that the WiFi is not working or that there is an error. The ! is there because the device and the WiFi network are locked down to only send and receive information. Please note that the ePOD WiFi does not require a password and can be used by third party drivers using the ePOD ( PODFather) application.

Troubleshooting FAQs

It takes ages for tickets to come through to my device!

What if there is nobody available to sign on site?

The driver can press on the menu button at the top right hand side of their application and then select "Communicate" from the pull out menu that appears. This forces any waiting information through. Sometimes, due to location and infrastructure, turning off the Wifi on the device can help speed up the digital handshake, as the device will then rely on mobile data instead of defaulting via our Wifi.

​ fter the driver has pressed arrive on site they will A have the option either to proceed (green button) or raise a query (red button). If they raise a query then they will be prompted to call into the office for instructions and they will then be able to use the "Proceed, no Customer" option on their device. They must enter comments in order to use this feature.

What do I do if my Device (Tarmac issued only) or PODFather application are not working properly? Please contact the dedicated ePOD Helpdesk on 0345 0711 350, they are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week with the only exception being Christmas Day.

I have forgotten my password so I can't log in and out daily! In the first instance the driver should contact the ePOD support desk to have his/her password reset. If you are a PODFather web portal user and have administration rights you can reset password by doing the following: I​n PODFather, click on "Account" in the top right hand side and select the "Drivers" tab. Search for the driver affected and click on the registration to enter their account. Enter the vehicle reg, without any spaces in both password fields and press save, the driver should now be able to login using the default details, it is advisable that they change the password to something memorable upon their first login.

What if it takes me a long time to get off site after getting the customer to sign for waiting time? ​ he automatic time on site calculation runs from T the "Arrive on Site" to "Finish Discharge" button presses. If the vehicle is held excessively on site after finishing discharge then a query should be raised following the standard process in order to claim the additional time.

​​​​ I forget my device, can I borrow the spare If one from the Weighbridge? NO, the spare device is only to be issued when instructed to do so by the ePOD Support Desk in response to a enquiry whereby a remote fix cannot be achieved. It is essential that all drivers have their device with them, charged and ready for work as failure to do so may result in Tarmac refusing to load them.


What happens if a device gets broken or damaged?

I can't get the Haulier Ticketing Portal to work properly (filter etc)?

There are spare devices kept at every Batch Cabin and Weighbridge throughout the UK. If a device does not function properly, gets damaged or is broken you should call the dedicated support line on 0345 071 1350. Where possible they will attempt to fix issues quickly over the phone, where this is not possible then they will instruct you to collect a spare device and continue working. You must leave their damaged device with the Weighbridge or Batch Cabin and our suppliers will collect this and then deliver a new spare device on the next working day.

​ ry asking the user to reload the Portal in a T different web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer can sometimes be problematic.

What happens when I sell or change my vehicle? You should take the Device and it’s cradle for use in your next vehicle, unless you are leaving the scheme, in which case these must be surrendered to your Transport Account Manager. The mounting bracket itself will not be de-fitted and is universal, meaning can be used by the new owner to mount a device of their choice.

How much data does ePOD use? As a guideline, a Haulier working for us 9 hours a day, every day can expect to use between .5 and 1gb of data per month. This can be used as a reference point to calculate how much data External Hauliers may require for their fleet.

Why is it so important that we press the buttons at the correct time? Every time a status button is pressed, the system creates a time and map stamp so that we know how each delivery is progressing at any given point. Delivery status notifications are sent to the customer on the basis of the drivers current status so failing to press buttons or pressing them at the wrong time could cause confusion and will miss inform the customer.

I have forgotten my Haulier Ticketing Portal login details! ​ lease contact your Tarmac Representative P or epod.enquiries@tarmac.com to get your password reset.

I have logged in to the Hauier Ticketing Portal but I can only see details for one of my vehicles? You need one login per vendor code in order to have full fleet visability, you can then combine these logins in the "My Account" section of the Portal if required.

I have had login details emailed over but they are for an old vendor code which isn't in use anymore? ​ lease contact your Tarmac Representative or P epod.enquiries@tarmac.com to get the correct details resent.

Please can you send my Haulier Ticketing Portal details to a different email address? Onboarding information can only be sent to the email address that we hold on file for GDPR reasons.

Can you please add my accountant's email address onto my file so that they have access to our data? ​ o, these must be sent to the email address that N we hold on file for GDPR reasons and we cannot add details of a third party organisation to protect the hauliers data. We do not recommend that hauliers share their login details with third parties.

Troubleshooting Issues in PODFather - ePOD & Planning

PODFather unavailable In the event that the PODFather website (www. PODFather.com) is not available please contact the Tarmac IT helpdesk by phone (0344 800 5699).

Orders missing In the event that new orders stop appearing in the PODFather Planning screens, please contact Tarmac IT Helpdesk on the above number detailing the specifics of the issue.

Providing an example of: • Missing order number(s) • The last time that PODFather received an update

Tickets not arrived on driver’s device If you print a delivery ticket in Fortek it should now go automatically to the drivers or collect device. Whilst we expect this to happen the majority of the time, it is still possible for a paper ticket to be produced. If when you produce a ticket it automatically prints on paper, do not worry, save the duplicate copies of tickets and send to your area office as you used to.

However, if the ticket data does not show up on the device AND a paper ticket is not generated then there may be an issue that needs to be resolved. Firsty, check in the PODFather “Jobs” screen to check that the ticket has been received by PODFather.

ePOD user guide | 191


If a ticket is showing as ALLOCATED then PODFather has been unable to communicate with the vehicles tablet This could be because the driver is not logged in correctly or because there is no connectivity (Wifi or Mobile).

If this still doesn’t work, and it is feasible to do so, call the ePOD Helpdesk on 0345 0711350. If this is not an option, press ‘No’ to the question in Fortek asking if the ticket has arrived on the device and print a paper ticket. Then manually over-ride in Fortek to generate the paper ticket.

Compare the registration in PODFather and if it is correct press communicate to try and pull the ticket through.

If the ticket shows as ON HANDHELD but is not on the drivers device then it is likely that the driver or one of his colleagues is also logged in as the same vehicle and has received the ticket in error.

Device issues Spare devices process

All plants will have a collect device and a spare device. All spare devices are not restricted for use to the business units they were issued to ie a tipper driver delivering into a RMX site can use their spare. This will need to be managed by the issuing site. The spare device is to be held at the plant in a secure location which can be accessed should it be needed. The spare will act as a replacement for any damaged, broken, lost or stolen devices from either the plant or core fleet drivers/hauliers.

**Note** Spare devices are not to be used should a driver/haulier forget to bring their device with them. Any driver who turns up to a Tarmac plant without a tablet will not be able to receive a load. Spare tablets are not configured for use and will need to be activated - this can be done by calling the ePOD Device helpline. Once a spare device has been activated the 24 hour swap out process will be instigated. Please refer to process map ePOD-Tarmac01:V1 which details the process for issuing the spare device.

ePOD user guide | 193


Device issues Spare devices process

The plant is responsible for the swap out process being completed correctly. If the spare device is required to replace a faulty device due to physical damage or hardware failure, the faulty device must be handed over to the plant in return for receiving the spare device. The receiver of the spare device must call the ePOD Device helpline to activate it. Once the spare device has been activated the user will receive an incident number from the ePOD Device helpline. This should be attached to the damaged/faulty device when the swap out occurs. If the spare device has been activated before 14:00 hrs (Monday to Friday) a courier will attend the plant within 24 hours to deliver the new device and collect the damaged/faulty device at the same time.

194 | ePOD user guide

If the spare device has been activated after 14:00 hrs a courier will generally be at the plant within 36 hours (Monday to Friday). If the swap out process is activated due to device damage or failure then the damaged/ faulty device must be present and handed to the courier. Failure to present a device for swap out will result in a failed attempted swap out for which your business unit will be charged. If the swap out process is activated due to a lost or stolen device (Stolen devices will need to be reported to the police and a crime reference No obtained to pass to the ePOD Device helpline) this must be made clear when activating the spare. The courier company will then only deliver a new tablet.


Device issues ePOD Facts, Questions & Answers

ePOD is Tarmac Materials business ticketing system. In our daily life we use electronic receipts, smart devices and sign-on-glass technology. Courier companies will now send you early notifications and allow you to track your deliveries online - often in real-time on a map - it's time that Tarmac followed suit. What are the main customer benefits • Dispatch Notifications with 1 hour delivery times • Track and trace each delivery in real-time • Instant POD’s - Delivery documents emailed to customers at time of delivery or available from the Tarmac on-line portal • Contribute to substantially reducing your Carbon Footprint • Physical documents can no longer be damaged, lost, misread or misfiled

What if the customer still needs a paper ticket? Unfortunately paper tickets will no longer be generated as part of Tarmac’s delivery process. The Customer Portal will hold information about all the deliveries we make, including a copy of the tickets

How does the customer let us know who to send my electronic proof of delivery to?

• Reduced queries - more accurate Invoicing,

When we are asked for a quote by the customer or when the order is placed, the customer will be able to give us the email address where they would like their tickets to be sent to. Customers may also add their email addresses to their purchase orders, if Tarmac receive a PO with an email address details we can use this to update quotes.

• Quickly resolved disputes with the utilisation of electronic copies of signatures and photographic evidence

How long does it take for the customer to receive their ePOD ticket?

• It’ll provide the Tarmac planning teams and the plants instant visibility of load completion meaning we can better utilise vehicles Improving customer deliveries

In most cases the ticket is emailed over immediately. They are also on the Tarmac portal to download. If a customer is set to receive a daily summary these emails are sent around 8pm each evening.

• Improved data will accurately record time on site whilst capturing any potential material changes, such as water additions • Electronic signature and name capture

What if the customer does not want to be an ePOD customer? ePOD is not optional for customers and will be rolled out across the whole of the materials business

What if the customer is collecting material rather than having a delivery from Tarmac? When the customer collects material from a Tarmac site, they will be asked to sign on a Tablet identical to the ones our drivers carry. A copy of the ticket will be emailed to the customer. Additionally, they will be able to ask for a receipt at the plant which they can carry with them in the case you are required to provide proof of the load and weight

ePOD user guide | 195


What will my ePOD ticket look like?

Why do some Proof of Delivery not show a signature?

What if the customer wants to update their email address with us?

There may be some instances in which a digital signature could not be captured (ie no one is on site to sign). In these instances our drivers will capture a photo of the delivered load.

If the customer needs to update their email we can do this 2 ways. Update the quote, when a new order (not a copied order) is put into Nimrod or Apollo the new email address will copy over. Any tickets for that new job will go to the new email address. Orders can also amend or update emails addresses on an order by order basis.

What if the customer is not receiving POD’s via email? Check the quote has an email address in it. If there is no email in the quote, add the details and ensure orders add a new job from scratch. Any old jobs still in Nimrod or Apollo will not result in a ticket being emailed over until a new job is added. (see trouble shooting guide, page 170)

196 | ePOD user guide

What if the customer wants to update their phone number with us? If the customer needs to update their phone number we can do this 2 ways. Update the quote, when a new order (not a copied order) is put into Nimrod or Apollo the new phone number will copy over. Any tickets for that new job will go to the new phone number. Orders can also amend or update phone numbers on an order by order basis.


How many email addresses can we hold for each customer?

What special equipment will customers need to receive an ePOD delivery from Tarmac?

We can hold upto 5 emails for POD’s and an additional 5 emails for dispatch notifications - this is per quote not per customer. Tickets are also available via the Tarmac portal.

Nothing. All Tarmac hauliers will carry a smart device in order to complete the delivery. Customers will sign the drivers smart device.

How many phone numbers can we text POD’s to? We can hold 1 phone number for POD’s - this is per quote not per customer. Tickets are also available via the Tarmac portal. Please note there is a cost to sending a text message so only do so if the customer is unable to provide an email address.

How many phone numbers can we text for dispatch notifications We can hold 1 phone number for dispatch notifications - this is per quote not per customer. Customers can track every order on the Tarmac customer portal.

How do I log a query against an ePOD Ticket? You will continue to log invoice queries in exactly the same way as you do today. You will need to quote to invoice number when logging a query with Tarmac. This can be done on the customer portal or by emails invoicequeries@tarmac.com.

What happens if I have no signal at a customer’s site? In the event that there is no mobile signal available, we complete the information as usual and the device will automatically submit the information when mobile signal becomes available.

How will this project be rolled out? Does the customer need to be registered for the portal in order to be ePOD? No. All customers will be ePOD regardless of if they have portal access or not.

There is no email address in the quote - what happens to the customers tickets? The delivery will still be an ePOD delivery and the ticket will be available on the portal to download.

Tarmac have a dedicated ePOD Project delivery team who will be out and about in the business throughout 2018. Any further questions should be directed to the ePOD Support Team via e-mail: epod.enquiries@tarmac.com and a member of the team will get back to you.

What if the customer does not want to accept the delivery? You can reject a Tarmac delivery using the device held by the driver.

To access the Account screen, select the “Account” button at the top right corner of the PODFather task bar.

Select “Users”

There are 5 mandatory fields required to set up a base account. • Email address • First name • Last Name • Password • Password Confirm

Select “Add New User”

These fields are highlighted with “*”. “Phone 1” and “Phone 2” are optional fields. Once these are completed the new account can be saved and used with the “Copy User Settings” process below. If needed however you can set up an entirely new user.

212 | ePOD user guide

OUTSTANDING The number of tickets incomplete for the day. These are not used in subsequent calculations.

COMPLETE (LATE) Is the number of deliveries that arrived outside of the estimated delivery time. Again, this is not compared to when the customer requested it, but to the estimated time of delivery from despatch.

COMPLETE (FLAGGED) COMPLETE (OTIF) The number of completed deliveries that arrived within its estimated delivery window (OT - On Time). It is important to note that this is not based on the time the customer requested the material, but the time it was estimated to arrive when the ticket was despatched.

This figure captures any delivery that had key events (Returns and Time on Site over 30 minutes).

This also includes deliveries that had no returned material (IF - In Full).
