goRoamPOD is designed for bulk and package delivery of fuels, lubricants, chemicals and other bulk products. Workflows are specific for each type of product and delivery scenario, and can be configured at your company, depot, or driver level. For fuels, goRoam supports transport workflow (gravity drop), commercial (above ground tanks/equipment), wet hosing (metered delivery), home heat, and propane. Lubricant delivery workflows include electronic meter integrated, mechanical meter, PFD (pump from drum), and package workflows. goRoam is an offline-first app, so drivers can deliver while out of cell or wifi coverage, and sync automatically when back in coverage. Additionally, we have full capabilities to control Liquid Controls (LC) electronic meters (LCR-II, LC600, LC.IQ). goRoam enables drivers to: - Record loads from warehouses and terminals - Scan barcoded tanks or assets to confirm product compatibility - Build a tank database for all tanks (not just keep full) including capacity and product - Control and read the meter at the end of the hose - Perform product compatibility checks prior to dispensing to prevent cross-fills - See stop specific instructions such as gate codes, directions, and contact info - Email or print an itemized receipt with each unit filled - Capture BOLs (Bill of Lading) when loading at terminals - Capture signatures (and GPS) for Proof of Delivery (POD) - Track inventory on the truck or trailer - Navigate to stops using commercial truck navigation - Take pictures of loads (BOLs), deliveries (e.g. damages), and trips (traffic/accidents) - Reject stops and have them re-routed (e.g. customer closed, missed delivery window) goRoam provides a complete mobile and routing solution for your dispatchers and drivers. goRoam supports dispatching from BizSpeed's MobileHub and via standard APIs from 3rd party routing solutions. NOTE: This is a mobile app for BizSpeed's MobileHub routing solution. You must have an enterprise MobileHub account to use this software.
