Point to Point, one of London's longest-established sameday couriers, has launched a range of new Internet-based services that allow booking and tracking of sameday, overnight and international consignments through a single web site.  The service is part of a newly integrated IT system using NetDespatch web services technology that will also soon see Point to Point couriers equipped with Pocket PC smartphones for the live transmission of delivery information back to their central systems in real time.

Point to Point, a multiple winner of the NCA's Courier Company of the Year award, has become the first company to implement NetDespatch's integration of their web services with despatch software from Plus Systems.  This means that web-booked jobs appear immediately on the Plus Systems control screens along-side telephone-booked jobs, and proof of delivery information for all types of deliveries is quickly available on the web site.

NetDespatch has pioneered leading-edge developments in web services designed specifically for express courier and parcel companies and include web booking, tracking, pricing, bar code labelling and comprehensive reporting.  Setting an industry-standard for web booking and tracking, the services are designed to be incorporated seamlessly within transport company websites and provide easy integration with conventional back office systems.

"There has recently been an increasing demand for web booking and tracking, " says Kevin Grey, Managing Director of Point to Point. "With NetDespatch we have an instant, cost-effective solution that gives us a true e-business capability, and which has really impressed our clients."
