OnTime Mobile gives couriers the tools they need in the field. Process your assigned orders and keep in constant communication with dispatch. This app requires an appropriate OnTime 360 subscription. If you are not sure about your company’s subscription or the services you have access to, please contact your IT department. SIGNAL AVAILABILITY: Keep dispatch informed where you are at, when you are available, and when you expect that to change. Great for independent contractors! ATTACH PHOTOS: Save photos with an order at collection, delivery, or any stage in between. COLLECT SIGNATURES: Capture signatures using the touchscreen on your device. EDIT ORDERS: Make adjustments to an order while on the go, without contacting dispatch. SELF DISPATCH: Access the unassigned order list to assign an order to yourself, or transfer to another driver. GPS: Let dispatch know where you are with accurate and consistent location tracking. BARCODE SCANNING: Use the camera on your device to quickly read a barcode from any label. The app will find the corresponding order on your list and offer appropriate actions. MAP ROUTING: Use Apple Maps to plot a route from your current position to the address of your next stop. OFFLINE SYNCHRONIZATION: Continue to work quickly with or without an internet connection. Features continue to work even when offline and will automatically synchronize the results once an internet connection becomes available. SECURE: Data is transmitted to and from the app securely with encryption. * Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
