Driver App – An Asset to Efficient Deliveries
Delivery drivers can either be a valuable asset or a major headache for your business. A professional, courteous driver may give a touch of outstanding personal service to each customer interaction as the face of your business to your consumer.
A lot of business owners are still manually managing their deliveries. But scheduling and tracking delivery records effectively through spreadsheets is quite cumbersome. In addition to this, there are chances of error when delivery boys handle their operations manually.
”As per Trakop, there is a 17% chance of delivering the wrong quantity and wrong order to the customer during manual operation handling”
All these redundant processes and errors can be eliminated just by shifting to a driver delivery software that also saves a great deal of time every day. With the help of the driver app, your delivery boy receives complete details of the delivery route and schedule. Therefore automating the delivery dispatch that includes the quantity to be delivered and the exact route that needs to be followed.
The following features of the driver app can help fix the disparities:

Order Summary
Delivery executives can use Order History to keep track of all the orders they’ve completed. To get more information on certain orders, delivery boys can look at the list of completed orders in the order history and filter it based on specific date ranges.
