# Does the delivery match the order?

Every delivery note, signature and photo matched to the order and the invoice, so short or damaged deliveries are caught before they are paid for.

3. Proof of delivery

## Signed for. Not checked.

A signature says something arrived. Whether it was the right goods, in the right quantity and condition, is written on paper nobody compares with the order.

### Paper in the cab.

Delivery notes come back as creased scans and phone photos, often days later.

### Notes on the note.

Shortages and damage are handwritten in the margin, where no system reads them.

### Paid in full anyway.

The invoice arrives for the full order, and the note that said otherwise is already filed.

## What the AI reads.

Every proof of delivery read against the order it fulfils and the invoice that bills it.

### In

- Signed delivery notes

### At work

1. [Sense](https://dscvryai.com/technology/sense/) Reads scans and photos of notes, including handwriting and stamps.
2. [Understand](https://dscvryai.com/technology/understand/) Pulls out items, quantities, signatures and every handwritten remark.
3. [Check](https://dscvryai.com/technology/check/) Matches each delivery to its order, its receipt and its invoice.
4. [Operate](https://dscvryai.com/technology/operate/) Holds the invoice line and drafts the claim to the supplier or carrier.

### Out

One matched delivery. Every gap shown on the note itself.

## Every delivery matched. Every gap on the record.

Goods-in and accounts payable see what arrived, what didn’t and what was damaged, with the note and the photo beside each line.
