Q-Driver App is for drivers that work with QeNPOS and DinoPOS. At the beginning of their shift, each driver punches in at the POS and then scans the QR code displayed on the screen. While running in the background Pacific Driver App allows store owners and managers to efficiently manage drivers and provide customers with instant order tracking ability once their order leaves the store. Collected location information allows the store to manage their delivery resources better. The application should be turned off at the end of the shift to preserve the phone's battery.
