What is Batch Scanning?
Batch Scanning is the fastest way to log expected parcels as they move between your internal locations. Since scanning the parcel's tracking barcode is usually all it takes to register the transfer, this feature provides a quick experience for your staff.
Expected Parcels are parcels that have been transferred or routed (
moved) from another internal site and are scheduled to arrive at a designated destination site, but have not yet been physically received or scanned there. These parcels are marked as “expected” to provide visibility of incoming internal transfers, allowing staff to anticipate arrivals and resume tracking once the parcels are checked in at the destination.
The Batch Scan feature is exclusively available to users who have access to Multi-Mailroom under the Enterprise plan. To learn more about Multi-Mailroom, refer to this guide here.
