A 1917 international postal Avis de réception (proof of

delivered in Mexico

Proof of delivery (POD) is a method to


establish the fact that the recipient
received the contents sent by the sender.
When the sender sends multiple
documents through the mail there is a
possibility of some not reaching the
intended recipient. Generally post offices
provide additional service of guaranteed
delivery, known as an Avis de réception
(advice or acknowledgment of receipt),
wherein they require the recipient to sign a
paper and that paper is filed by the postal
service for a specified number of days.

Proof of delivery becomes very important


when legal and financial documents are to
be exchanged between two parties. In the
United States, DHL, UPS and FedEx as well
as the US postal service (USPS) provide
proof of delivery. Commercial fleet
operators also need to be able to confirm
proof of delivery of goods to their
customers.

In e-commerce, businesses exchange


millions of electronic documents to track
delivery information using computer to
computer communication techniques like
email, FTP and EDI. These documents
contain a variety of transaction details,
including information regarding purchase
orders, invoices, shipping details, product
specifications, and price quotes. Electronic
documents can exchange new data as
well as corrections to previously
transmitted messages.

Legal complications can arise if the


recipient company refutes receiving a
corrected product specification or a
message about a delayed shipment. Both
companies could be in strong
disagreement with each other, each
proving/not proving the existence of that
particular communication.

Message-oriented middleware (MOM) is a


class of software used to implement
computer based business document
exchange. Such systems provide proof of
delivery services by employing techniques
such as logging each send/receive
activity.
Companies also employ intermediate data
brokers to exchange information.
Employing such services provide not only
proof of delivery but also other services
like data integrity, multi-point delivery, and
single point of contact for data exchange.
