Digital POD archive

A comprehensive archive of all your POD’s, in one, easily accessible place. This means no more searching and rummaging through stacks of paper when looking for a particular POD. Further, it resolves any issues with lost or missing paper POD’s. Always there, always accessible, always findable; potentially saving you hours of lost and unproductive time.

Vehicle Checks

Automate your vehicle checks at start and end of day. Highly configurable to what is important for you, this module maintains accurate and complete records and captures a driver declaration of conformity.

These records are available to the driver for 30 days should they be required for roadside inspection.

Service level agreements (SLA)

Specific agreed time windows can be added for each delivery. If the driver is running late for a job, the operations screen will highlight this in red.

The client can be automatically emailed or messaged; the choice is yours. Reports can be generated to measure performance levels.

Satisfaction Surveys

A key measure to your driver performance. 1-5 stars and the ability to add a comment. Even if arriving late the client can add explanatory circumstances, for example, “the driver had good attitude”. This allows you to capture your customer perceptions.

Discrepancy Management

Easy to use, configurable drop-down menus on the mobile device, detailing your typical reasons for dispute or discrepancy. The outcome is instant reaction to a problem while onsite. This saves time and negates the need to phone the office.

Instant Invoicing

No more waiting for drivers to return to base with job records. PODStar will enable you to generate invoices as soon as the order is delivered; shortening the payment cycle by many days and thereby improving your cash flow.

Customer Portal

The configurable customer portal allows your chosen customers to have the flexibility to place orders, see job status, and access their own POD’s. This saves time for both you and your customers.

Granular visibility

All relevant information can be displayed on dashboards. RAG status is applied; thus, you can manage issues by exception and ignore everything that is performing as expected.

Special Instructions

Messages, detailed or brief can be added for each delivery. This can save a massive amount of time and phone costs when the driver arrives at a confusing customer site.

Vehicle loading control

By weight, volume or value. Clear visibility on loading capacities, prior to committing jobs for loading / delivery.
