Independent receiving control

Your carriers have a delivery record,you should too.

AID gives your operation its own searchable record of what physically arrived, when it arrived, and where it entered your facility—even when no ERP receiving record is created.

Why AID exists
“Delivered” is a carrier event. “Received by our operation” is a different event.

Carrier tracking answers their question. AID answers yours.

Carrier portals tell you what the carrier believes happened to a shipment. AID records what your facility actually observed at the point of receipt.

Carrier accountability

When “delivered” becomes a dispute, bring your own evidence.

AID gives receiving teams an internal record to compare against UPS, FedEx, USPS, Amazon, and other delivery confirmations when a parcel is missing, disputed, or difficult to trace.

  • Verify whether a claimed delivery was actually scanned into your operation.
  • Investigate timing differences between carrier delivery and physical receiving.
  • Support claim research with a record generated by your own facility.

AID provides the internal arrival record for carrier audits. Automated carrier-portal reconciliation is not part of the current product.

Built for the way you actually receive

One receiving record. Three different operating models.

AID works whether physical arrival is eventually received in an ERP or never gets an ERP record at all.

01 / No ERP receiving

A record for receipts that never enter your ERP.

Capture indirect material, non-inventory purchases, no-PO orders, engineering samples and supplies when no formal ERP receiving record is created.

02 / ERP environment

Expose the gap between arrival and system receipt.

Keep your normal ERP process while capturing the physical-arrival event your system may not record until later.

03 / Incoming inspection

Start the dwell-time clock when material actually arrives.

Use the AID timestamp as the start point, then compare it with inspection-complete or release timestamps from your quality process.

The missing operational event

Most systems record what happens before or after receiving. AID records the handoff in between.

It does not need to replace carrier tracking, your ERP, or your quality system. It gives each of them a reliable physical-arrival anchor.

CarrierDelivery confirmation

The carrier reports that the shipment reached the destination.

AIDPhysical arrival

Your team scans the parcel and creates the internal receiving record.

ERPSystem receipt

The business transaction posts later—or not at all in non-ERP workflows.

Quality / OpsInspection or release

Material clears the next operational step.

Focused receiving control

Everything needed to create, find, and trust the arrival record.

AID stays intentionally narrow: fast receipt capture, searchable evidence, and a clean operational history.

FAQ

What AID is—and what it isn’t.

How does the free trial work?

Create an organization to start a 14-day trial. The trial does not automatically convert to a paid subscription. If AID fits, you can choose the $199/month plan separately; no onboarding fee applies.

Why not just use UPS, FedEx, USPS, or Amazon tracking?

Carrier tracking records the carrier’s delivery event. AID records your facility’s receiving event. That gives you an independent internal record when delivery status and physical reality do not line up.

Can AID be our primary receiving log if we do not receive packages in an ERP?

Yes. AID provides a scanner-based arrival ledger for indirect, non-inventory and other deliveries that do not create an ERP receipt.

What if we already use an ERP?

AID can sit alongside it. The AID timestamp represents physical arrival; your ERP receipt represents the business-system transaction. Comparing those events can expose receiving backlog or delay.

Can AID track incoming inspection dwell time?

AID provides the physical-arrival timestamp—the start of that clock. To calculate full dwell time, you also need the downstream inspection-complete or release timestamp from your existing process or a future AID workflow.

Does AID automatically compare carrier delivery confirmations with receiving records?

No. AID gives you an internal receiving record to compare with a carrier delivery confirmation. Automated carrier reconciliation is not included.

Does AID replace ERP receiving or a warehouse management system?

No. AID is intentionally focused on receiving control and physical-arrival evidence. It can be a primary parcel receiving log or an independent event layer alongside ERP/WMS processes.

Can multiple receiving stations write to the same shared log?

AID stores an organization-wide shared arrival history. The current plan may limit active stations; verify the plan before adding one.
