Pickup verification

The right truck.
At the right dock.
Proven.

Every Stower tag is filmed going onto its truck and approved before it ships. On pickup day, the driver proves truck and location in one short scan.

How it works

Five phases.
One proof.

01

Prepare

The tag is registered to one specific truck.

02

Seal

Two people lock the tag in a numbered box.

03

Apply

The driver films opening the box and applying the tag.

04

Approve

The video is checked. Only then does the tag go live.

05

Arrive

On pickup day the driver proves truck and location.

Pickup day

Two scans.
Under two minutes.

The driver scans the tag fixed at your facility, then the tag on the truck. Stower checks that:

  • The truck belongs to the carrier you booked.
  • It is the facility named on the shipment.
  • The pickup is scheduled for today.
  • The shipment has not already been checked in.

Your facility contact is emailed the result: arrived, or not confirmed with the reason.

What it stops

Every shortcut,
closed.

A freight truck at night
Wrong truck

A different truck

The tag is registered to one truck and carrier, and checked against your booking.

A forklift working in a warehouse
Swapped tag

A tag in transit

It travels in a locked, numbered box, sealed by one person and set up by another.

A warehouse aisle
False claim

Not really on site

The driver must scan the tag fixed at your facility, inside one timed check.

Getting started

Start with one or
two facilities.

  • Tags on your pilot trucks and docks.
  • The Stower driver app on an Android phone, no driver login.
  • Runs alongside your existing check-in.

It confirms who arrived at the pickup. It does not authorize loading or release of freight.

Questions

FAQ

Does this replace our check-in process?+

No. It runs alongside your existing check-in and gate procedures.

What if the video is unclear?+

No clear footage, no tag. The driver films it again and the tag is not activated until it is approved.

Can a tag move to another truck?+

No. If it is peeled off it is invalid.

What if a check fails?+

The arrival is not confirmed and the reason is recorded. Your facility contact is emailed, and a person decides what happens next.
