Shipment Evidence

A System of Record for Shipment Evidence

Evidence scattered across camera rolls, shared drives, and email threads is not a system — it is a liability. PackProof provides a centralized, searchable evidence repository where every shipment has a certified record.

The Cost of Scattered Evidence

Most operations capture some evidence for some shipments. But without a system, that evidence is fragmented, unverified, and impossible to retrieve when it matters most.

Evidence Exists but Cannot Be Found

Photos were taken, but they live in someone's camera roll, a shared drive folder, or an email thread from months ago. When a dispute arrives, the evidence might as well not exist.

No Single Source of Truth

Shipment records are scattered across multiple systems and devices. There is no centralized place to look up the evidence for a specific order, so every retrieval becomes a manual investigation.

Compliance Audits Expose Documentation Gaps

When auditors ask for evidence of packing procedures, the gaps become obvious. Inconsistent capture, missing records, and no verifiable chain of custody undermine every compliance effort.

Evidence Retrieval Takes Hours Instead of Seconds

Finding the right photo for the right shipment means searching through camera rolls, messaging apps, cloud folders, and email attachments. What should take seconds takes hours — or never happens at all.

Why Most Operations Lack an Evidence System

The problem is not that teams do not care about evidence — it is that no purpose-built system exists in most technology stacks to capture, certify, and organize it.

No dedicated tool exists in most tech stacks

WMS platforms, shipping software, and inventory systems were not designed to capture and store visual evidence. The gap is filled with workarounds that do not scale.

Photos are treated as informal records, not evidence

A photo taken on a phone is treated as a convenience, not a certified record. Without cryptographic verification, timestamps, and chain of custody, it carries no evidentiary weight.

Storage is an afterthought

Evidence ends up wherever it is most convenient — camera rolls, WhatsApp groups, shared drives. There is no deliberate strategy for where evidence lives or how it is organized.

Evidence is not linked to operational data

Even when photos exist, they are disconnected from the shipment record. There is no way to pull up an order number and immediately see the associated evidence.

No enforcement of capture completeness

Without a system that tracks which shipments have evidence and which do not, gaps go unnoticed until a dispute reveals them. There is no visibility into coverage rates.

What a Shipment Evidence System Delivers

PackProof replaces scattered files and informal records with a centralized, certified evidence system purpose-built for shipping operations.

Centralized Repository Linked to Every Shipment

Every piece of evidence is stored in a single, organized repository and linked directly to the shipment record. Search by order number, date, or operator and find what you need instantly.

SHA-512 Certified and Tamper-Proof

Every capture receives a cryptographic fingerprint at the moment of recording. Any alteration to the file invalidates the certificate, ensuring evidence integrity from capture to retrieval.

Instant Retrieval by Any Identifier

Search by order number, tracking ID, date range, operator name, or any other identifier. Retrieve the exact evidence you need in seconds, not hours.

Complete Coverage Visibility and Gap Detection

A dashboard shows capture completeness across your operation — by date, team member, and shipment. Identify gaps before they become liabilities, not after a dispute exposes them.

How It Works

Four steps. No special equipment. A complete evidence system for every shipment.

1

Capture Evidence at Packing

The packing team opens PackProof on any device and captures photo or video evidence as each shipment is packed. No special hardware or app installation required.

2

Automatic Certification and Linking

PackProof generates a SHA-512 fingerprint, verified timestamp, and GPS geolocation automatically. Evidence is linked to the shipment record with no manual data entry.

3

Centralized Searchable Storage

All evidence is stored in a single cloud-based repository, organized by shipment and fully searchable. No more scattered files across devices and platforms.

4

Instant Retrieval and Sharing

When a dispute, audit, or customer query arrives, search by any identifier and retrieve the certified evidence in seconds. Share verification certificates with one click.
