Has anyone had the new systems where you book packets in on the computer and they get a no instead of names on shelf yet and if so how's it goin??

Slow, but is the way foward

I don't write a little description on the 739s anymore because it's all numbered up back at the callers so there's that.

much better system for callers staff

[weakerthan]

We have had this system for a week now. I have to admit, I'm not overly keen so far! I am the computer monkey sat typing all the parcels in and am also doing stints at the counter.
I don't fully understand why so much money has been invested in a system which relies on SO many more man hours to function?

I also find it far more stressful when a parcel goes missing; if it ain't in the right spot then you're screwed! Searching aimlessly through hundreds of parcels is more time consuming than using logic to determine where the missing parcel might be (wrong postcode/flat name rather than road name etc etc).

It is much easier to find a parcel if the customer has lost the 739 or if the postman hasn't filled it in properly.
I presume that the bigger/busier the callers office, the better this system is.

I still right a little description, not sure if I'm wasting my time doing so though as it should all be numbered at the callers office
