The BT Transmate App is used for all of our transport consignments to record and submit Proof of Delivery.
Here is what you can and cannot submit via the app:
Always submit a Sign-on-Glass POD: As a Covid-19 Safety and infection prevention measure, we encourage contactless delivery. Please ask for the recipient’s name, type this in the name field, and sign in the signature field.
If you have received any hardcopy paperwork, please take a photo via the camera section of the Transmate App and submit it as a POD by ticking the respective box and tapping submit.
Please hand in all original hardcopy paperwork to a BT depot or the head office. We highly recommend keeping a copy for your own records.
If you would like to submit a photo to BT staff that is relevant to the consignment, you can take a photo via the camera section of the Transmate App and submit it as a PHOTO by ticking the respective box and tapping submit.
These cannot be submitted via the app. Please email your invoices to reception@bttransportlogistics.com.au.
(To avoid delays, ensure you include the Consignment Number on your invoice. You can find this on the Details screen of the Transmate App.)
Please do not submit your Sub-Contractor Payment Advice. This is for your records and invoicing only.
Sub-Contractor payments are made weekly on Mondays and Tuesdays, depending on your chosen payment terms option. Importantly, all paperwork (invoice and POD) must received by the previous Friday 4pm.
Here’s how to work out when you will be paid for an outstanding consignment.
For the 7-day option (“5%-ers”), please take note of BT Transport & Logistics’s pay week, which starts on Wednesday. This means that the 7-day payment term starts at the end of the pay week (the Tuesday) during which the job is completed & the POD is submitted.
*When using the BT Transmate App, if submitted at the point of delivery, the POD date will be the date of delivery
**Please ensure that we receive your invoice in time
How to work out the payment date – 30 Days
The date you submitted your POD*
Plus your payment terms = Due Date**
The Monday following the Due Date is the Payment date
Example
Friday 29/01/2021
Plus 30 days = Sunday 28/02/2021
You will receive payment on Monday 01/03/2021
How to work out the payment date – 7 Days
The date you submitted your POD*
Take the date of the end of that pay week (the following Tuesday)
Plus your payment terms = Due Date**
