# Prepare the recipient.

Prepare the recipient: a practical guide with planning data, an example, an error check and DACH context for Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

Quality depends on clear data, reliable handover and a process that can be checked later. Safety starts before the trip. Missing facts should be resolved early.

## What the term means in practice.

Prepare the recipient is mainly a question of correct classification. The label gives orientation, but it does not replace job data. The actual route, time and shipment facts decide what is needed.

Repeated jobs benefit from a stable data set. Contacts, usual times and known access points can be stored. Only changes then need to be added.

## Which facts should come first.

A clean review works best when the basic facts follow a fixed order. This makes the need clear and avoids an early assumption.

- write pickup and destination clearly

- set the date or time window

- record complete shipment data

- confirm contact and handover

## A practical example.

A shipment must arrive on the same day. The request alone does not show feasibility. Route, pickup time and handover details are needed before the operating plan is chosen.

Changes should be shared as soon as they are known. This is especially important for time windows, receivers and loading access. It keeps the plan consistent.

## What often goes wrong.

Urgency should not remove required facts. Even a fast job needs clear pickup, destination, time and shipment data.

If a fact is still unknown, mark it as open. A clear gap is easier to solve than a wrong assumption.

## Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

The knowledge applies across the DACH region. A live trip is still checked in the operating market. Switzerland, Germany and Austria therefore use their respective country offers. This keeps knowledge and booking separate.

## A short check before the request.

For Prepare the recipient, a short data check is enough before sending the request. The facts should be complete, current and easy for another person to understand.

- clear pickup and destination

- realistic date or time window

- complete shipment data

- reachable contact people

- open points marked clearly
