Phillip Herbert, Business Improvement Manager of Breezemount, comments, “We trialed the PODFather system at two of our depots before committing to a full roll out. All staff found it to be very reliable and easy to use, and we were impressed at the speed our requirements were met with the system in its standard set up.”
