Tired of paper-based delivery hassles? At its core, the Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD) system is a modern solution designed to streamline your operations. Using a standard smartphone or a rugged mobile computer, your van or HGV drivers can instantly capture all necessary delivery data. This includes obtaining a definitive electronic signature from your client, which immediately confirms the receipt of goods or services. For added security and compliance, the system allows your driver to capture confirmatory photographs or scan item barcodes, automatically attaching this complete proof to the client record.
Advanced Job Planning & Real-Time Fleet Management
Our web-based back-office system gives you total control over your fleet planning:
Flexible Data Entry: Supports virtually any delivery scenario, allowing quick job creation with minimal data (e.g., pallets required) or full product-level detail.
Optimised Allocation: Our planning tool allocates jobs to vehicles in the most logical order, saving time and eliminating paper.
Run List Visibility: Consolidate multiple deliveries into a simple 'Run List' view, enabling managers to drill down into individual job details and proactively manage issues like late jobs.
Instant Discrepancy Reporting: Drivers can easily record and reason for delivery discrepancies, including partial and full load rejections, ensuring immediate communication with the back office.
Route Planning
TouchStar’s integrated back-office tools streamline your logistics from start to finish, ensuring efficiency and compliance:
Intelligent Location Planning: Use real-time job data and built-in checks to drag-and-drop jobs onto the right vehicles, preventing vehicle overloading.
Remote Manifesting: Once a route is created, the manifest is automatically sent to drivers or engineers remotely in the field.
Optimised Routes on a Digital Map: Enhance efficiency by displaying the planned route on a digital map, which directly contributes to saving fuel and time on the road.
Proactive Vehicle Reminders
TouchStar’s electronic proof of delivery system simplifies fleet safety by providing proactive compliance management. Instead of relying on manual systems, you can store and track all critical renewal dates—including tax, MOT, and service dates—directly against each vehicle. The system then delivers advance notifications whenever you log in, ensuring your company is always prepared for upcoming deadlines and legally compliant without having to chase or lose paper documentation.
Vehicle Inspection App
The dedicated Vehicle Inspection App digitises and automates the entire daily check process. Drivers complete comprehensive checks using their mobile device, capturing high-accuracy evidence like photographs of damage, digital signatures, and GPS location data in real time. This information is instantly uploaded to the back office, eliminating paperwork and avoiding fines. The ability to produce an official, on-device report also provides drivers with instant, legally useful documentation if stopped by officials.
Enhanced Driver & Asset Management
Our system goes beyond delivery management by streamlining driver administration and providing full visibility of your valuable assets.
Paperless Driver Admin: Drivers can instantly submit timesheets, holiday requests, and expense details directly from their handheld device. This saves significant time and paper for both the driver and the back-office staff by eliminating lost receipts and manual request processing.
Returnable Asset Tracking: A dedicated feature allows customers to track and reconcile assets in the field (e.g., Cages, Trolleys, Pallets). This functionality is supported by a dedicated report, enabling you to interrogate data to minimize lost or stolen assets and save money.
Gain instant visibility into fleet performance and critical business metrics with our flexible dashboard and reporting suite:
Real-Time Dashboard KPI's
The dashboard displays real-time performance KPI information at your fingertips. It can be viewed on any device, providing instant ETA information for jobs and notifying managers if a delivery is going to be late or is on time.
Flexible Reporting
Access a standard set of reports detailing job and driver performance. For custom analysis, the system allows you to export all data fields to quickly create your own bespoke reports.
