The CONDOR Despatch Management System is an MS-Windows based computer software package suitable for any organisation that uses the services of Transport Companies. CONDOR is specifically designed for despatch personnel, is easy to learn and simple to use.

CONDOR allows users to enter and maintain consignment details, print bar coded address labels, consignment notes and freight manifests. Transport costs are automatically calculated by selection of Carrier, service level, location or type of freight being shipped. Details are recorded for later analysis. Pallet movements, both inwards and outwards, can also be recorded. CONDOR is easily integrated with other computer systems using its industry standard (DOMEDI) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) interface. Consignment details can be electronically transferred to other systems.

As consignment details are entered, stick-on labels can be printed, for attachment to the freight itself. Allowance for multi part consignments is provided (e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3)

There are several different label formats available.

New labels can be designed to fit in with the customer’s needs.  If you need to print information on pre-printed labels then a specially formatted printout can be added to the database.
