Freight management from the drop to the invoice
- 01
End-to-end docket and POD control
Lost dockets and disputed PODs eat margin on every run. Drivers capture sign-on-glass signatures and photo PODs in the cab. Each delivery gets a time stamp and a GPS pin. Your invoicing team gets the proof. Your customer gets the ASN. Your books get cleaner.
- 02
Live multi-drop replanning
A drop slips, a customer reschedules, the M25 closes around junction 27. The route auto-recalculates from the next stop, not the depot. Drivers see the new ETA on the same screen they were already using. Dispatch sees the impact across every other run.
- 03
Reefer telematics that hold up in audit
Temperature traces, door events, set-point alerts and breach alarms recorded against every drop. Pull a 90-day trace before a customer asks. The Food Standards Agency expects records. Your supermarket DC expects a clean handover. Both get one.
And the rest of the run
Reefer, audits and the back office
Pass principal contractor audits without a panic week
Wincanton, Eddie Stobart, GXO and DHL run their subbies on numbers. Tachograph compliance, drivers' hours, MOT currency, training records, fuel use, incident history. The data is on Drive360, exportable in the shape they ask for. No spreadsheets, no scramble.
Dispatch and customers on the same map
Inbound calls drop fast when the customer can see the driver. Drive360 streams live ETAs to dispatch and a tracking link to the consignee. The phone goes quiet. Operations get the day back.
Automated run reconciliation
Driver hours, mileage, fuel, drops, surcharges. Each run is reconciled the moment it ends, ready to bill on Friday. Less back-office time, fewer credit notes, faster cash. The transport manager sleeps. The CFO smiles.
