About

AIMS Despatch

Read full description

This is a commercial app that links to the AIMS Express back office software for managing driver collections and deliveries. AIMS Despatch allows a driver to receive collection instructions from the transport screen in the AIMS Express system. The driver can accept or reject the collection in order for the despatcher to know that the job has been received okay. Once accepted the driver can drill into the collection to see the consignment details. Additionally the app can be loaded with delivery information for consignments being delivered - at the point of delivery the driver can ask the recipient to sign the screen to capture the POD.
