Ships Mobile™ is an integrated smart-application that allows drivers to submit trip, delivery, safety documents and driver documents from the point of service using their mobile device. Once submitted, documents are optimized for image quality and automatically entered into the billing and settlement workflow and other business centric processes based on your business rules. Included with the application is the Learning Management Tutorial that is a self-guided tutorial that educates the driver on the features and functionality of the application prior its use. Now drivers will be familiar with the application before launching it for the first time. Also drivers will have access to the Ships Mobile Driver Portal via your company website. The Driver Portal will becomes the driver’s automated personal assistant. It keeps the driver informed of needed documents and cut-off or expiration deadlines along with pending and final settlement information. The assistant will monitor the images received and alert the driver to missing or late documents or to re-image documents that failed quality audits. Ships Mobile solution can be configured to capture various documents such as OS&D or compliance documents including CDL, insurance and DVIR. What better way to keep your drivers informed, increase your retention rates and increase profits!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CovenantDrive at 4.5 against SHIPSMobile's 1.8. CovenantDrive also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 2%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 52). SHIPSMobile's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
