The result? 

Faster, more efficient deliveries that keep your customers happy and your business thriving.

How does it work?

TrackView consists of a dashboard for dispatchers and a mobile app for field workers.

Dispatchers use the dispatcher dashboard to assign jobs, track status and communicate with field workers. The mobile app allows field workers to check their assigned tasks and update their progress on those assignments.

The app offers a comprehensive solution like AI-based route optimisation, real-time tracking, and proof of delivery to optimise delivery operations, making it more efficient and cost-effective.

Moreover, it helps businesses solve last-mile delivery challenges, ensuring customers receive their orders quickly and efficiently.

The process starts with

  • The fleet manager uploads orders to the dispatch app’s web platform.
  • The system automatically uses AI to optimise the delivery routes for maximum efficiency, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and cost savings.
  • Once the optimised delivery routes are generated, the system generates a list of deliveries with an index.
  • The fleet manager presses the dispatch order button, and the drivers receive the delivery orders on their mobile devices.
  • The app displays the deliveries in the sequence they need to be made, and the driver can navigate to the delivery location using an integrated map.
  • Upon reaching the delivery location, the driver gets a signature from the customer, obtaining proof of delivery.
  • Additionally, the driver takes a photograph of the delivered items in front of the customer’s door for documentation and security purposes.

Capacity Planning

The platform’s complex route optimisation algorithm can calculate the volume and weight of goods that must be transported based on delivery requirements, such as how many orders need to be filled, where they’re going, and what kinds of products are being shipped. And determine the number of trucks required to meet demand.

It helps you to optimise the use of trucks to meet delivery demands while minimising costs and improving efficiency.

Automatic status update

The feature is very useful for keeping customers informed at each stage of the delivery process. The customer would receive a notification when the delivery is on its way, when it has arrived at the delivery location, and when it has been delivered.
