Abstract: The present invention involves systems and methods of linking a unique identifier with a package identifier to provide confirmation of the delivery of the package to a certain location or individual. The unique identifier may be associated with a location or an individual. In one embodiment, it is a barcode and the package identifiers are barcodes as well. The barcodes are scanned by a service provider using a hand-held data acquisition and storage device thereby linking the unique identifier to the package identifiers. The information is transferred from the hand-held device to a database where it is used to compile reports for and provide information to the service provider, the shipper, and the recipient of the packages. The invention may be incorporated into an inventory management system such that when confirmation of actual delivery has been received, the recipient will release payment to its vendors.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及将唯一标识符与包标识符相链接的系统和方法，以提供将包裹传送到特定位置或个体的确认。 唯一标识符可以与位置或个体相关联。 在一个实施例中，它是条形码，并且包标识符也是条形码。 条形码由服务提供商使用手持数据采集和存储设备进行扫描，从而将唯一标识符与包标识符相链接。 信息从手持设备传输到数据库，用于编译报告，并向服务提供商，托运人和包裹的收件人提供信息。 本发明可以并入到库存管理系统中，使得当已经收到实际交货的确认时，接收方将向其供应商发放支付。
