Proof-of-delivery record service in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets
Keep evidence that answers a real operating question
For proof-of-delivery record service, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:
Record parcel references, evidence type, submission times, identity mismatches, missing fields, follow-up outcomes, access tests, and client acceptance of each corrected delivery record during the pilot.
An order and acceptance record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Output and exclusions | Offer delivery evidence administration tied to the client's parcel references, defining acceptable signatures or images, missing-evidence follow-up, access permissions, and the correction process for mistaken records. |
| Sale unit | workflow setup |
| Acceptance check | Ask a client administrator to retrieve evidence for sampled deliveries, including duplicate references and an incomplete receipt, without exposing unrelated recipients or accepting unverifiable completion claims. |
| Missed-cost check | Include form setup, driver onboarding, evidence review, poor-connectivity reconciliation, missing-record follow-up, secure storage, and the effort required to correct mismatched delivery references after submission accurately. |
| Failure to investigate | A photograph proves little when it cannot be linked to the correct parcel, authorized recipient, and handover event within the client's own delivery records reliably. |
Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.
A supplier and cost record
For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.
A weekly review
Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.
Use sources within their stated scope
- Communications Authority — Licensing Procedures — Postal/courier licensing route. Obtain activity classification before offering a courier operation. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- CA — Revised Postal and Courier Market Structure — October 2026 notice that the postal/courier structure changed; check current categories rather than relying on old fee schedules. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- ODPC — Guidance Notes for Data Protection Policies (2026) — Privacy governance reference covering access, retention, data sharing and incident response. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.
The complete downloadable guide includes editable planning worksheets. Save backups privately when they contain personal, customer or supplier information. These planning forms do not replace required statutory records or professional advice for a regulated task.

Match the evidence to a decision
| Decision question | Business-specific record to retain |
|---|---|
| Was the input fit for use? | Test duplicate IDs, leading-zero references and a changed status before importing the full set. |
| Was the work acceptable? | Totals of statuses equal fifty and access permissions work for both authorised and unauthorised test roles. |
| What remains unresolved? | No delivery event is independently verified and no legal sufficiency opinion is supplied. |
