NetDespatch has launched a secure parcel delivery system that ensures goods are only released to authorised recipients.

SecureScan requires two encoded barcodes to be matched on delivery to confirm the recipient’s ID.

This eliminates the need for a hand-written signature and is not only safer but also more convenient.

The system is expected to reduce the costs associated with misdelivery. As goods are ordered, SecureScan creates a matched pair of digital tokens.

Produced as a barcode, one token is assigned to the recipient of the goods and the other to the package.
