Key Delivery Features: Digital Delivery Manifest: Eliminate paper with a digital manifest that clearly organizes all stops for each route.

Built-in Navigation: Launch turn-by-turn directions using your preferred maps app. Customer Messaging: Call, text, or email customers without leaving the app. Built-in templates ensure fast, professional communication. Ensure Accurate Deliveries: Scan orders at delivery, take a photo for proof, and collect a signature if required — all within the app. Capture Every Pickup: Drivers create orders during pickup and can print a receipt so you know who the order belongs to. This allows you to predict your incoming work load, increase customer satisfaction, and monitor your route efficiency. Special Instructions: Permanent or one-time instructions are clearly displayed for each customer, so every delivery is handled correctly — no matter who’s driving. Offline Capable: Fully functional even without an internet connection — syncs automatically when back online.

You can also perform an inventory of a rack using this app. Time Clock: Employees can clock in/out and view their timesheets.
