A courier company’s operations happen on the move: drivers collecting parcels, couriers working through delivery runs, franchisees booking consignments and customers asking where their shipment is. Mobile apps put each of these people directly into your system, in real time.
Three apps that make a difference
1. Driver app (collection and delivery)
- Assigned collections and delivery runs on the phone, in route order
- Barcode and label scanning with the phone camera
- Electronic proof of delivery: recipient name, signature, photo and timestamp
- Failed-delivery reasons and return-to-sender marking
- Cash-on-delivery collection where your market uses it
- Location sharing for supervisors during working hours
2. Customer app
- Book collections and get instant quotes
- Track shipments with live status
- View invoices and payment history
- Notifications at every stage
3. Franchise and branch app
- Book consignments at the counter from a phone or tablet
- View commissions and settlement statements
- Receive announcements and rate updates
Benefits for courier businesses
- Real-time status for customers without phone calls
- Fewer disputes thanks to photo and signature proof
- Faster invoicing because delivery data flows straight into the system
- Better control of field staff and cash collections
- A more professional brand in front of business customers
Driver location and recipient details are personal data, so apps should collect only what is needed, track only during shifts and store data securely, in line with GDPR and similar laws.
