Palletways Plus is our mobile application for members of the Palletways network. Drivers can use our app to view consignments and enter POD information on the pallets they have delivered, and with the optional GPS tracking enabled, depots can track the progress of their drivers as they work through their scheduled routes. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
