Yodel Driver & Courier

Yodel Driver & Courier for Android replaces large handheld scanners with a smartphone-powered delivery system created for UK parcel couriers. Cut missed drops and wasted miles. Fix it fast.

This mobile delivery solution will turn your smartphone into a professional courier, no more paper or manual logging. With one interface the drivers do it all: route planning, package scanning, signature capture, and instant delivery confirmation. The app complies with Yodel’s bring-your-own-device policy. Couriers now use their own Android phones instead of the company-issued terminals.

Plan routes in seconds.

Trimble Maps provides the route optimization software that automatically plots stops in sequence. How about this: You will see your whole day tour before leaving the depot. Then you follow turn by turn navigation. It will take traffic conditions into account. An improvement system calculates the fastest route between dozens of delivery addresses. As a result, the drive time is reduced. This is done with an intelligent grouping of nearby stops.

Our customers provide specific instructions to their delivery driver before each delivery. Whether you’re a new driver off to an unfamiliar location or a veteran who has no need to go to reception or poke your head in the wrong building, you’ll find it easy to navigate.

Scan barcodes instantly.

Scandit’s barcode scanning technology can read package labels from a few feet away, in poor lighting or at angles. Say goodbye to perfect alignments and damaged barcode squinting. Point and scan. The camera captures data instantly.

This software processes multiple scans at depot loading with no delay. In a matter of seconds, drivers can verify load contents with the manifest to avoid loading errors. All the scans each day will help save minutes at every depot visit and increase speed.

Live signed proof of delivery.

The customer can sign directly on the screen with their finger or stylus. The digital courier system timestamps every autograph while linking it with the scanned parcel instantly. These data entries create real-time proof of delivery records. No more paper forms or end-of-day manual uploads.

Yodel’s central database automatically updates delivery confirmations. Drivers move on to the next stop as customers receive notification in seconds. No one will dispute you when you present your timestamped, GPS-tagged signature records – stored in the cloud.

The integrated training guide evokes the help that takes new users through every function only when needed. No separate manuals or classroom sessions required.

5 Quick Wins to Deliver Faster.
