DASHBOARD
Our Dashboard gives real time performance KPI information at your
fingertips without having to run scheduled reports. It can be displayed
on any device ranging from tablets to phones, even a large TV in the
traffic office. The Dashboard can display real time ETA information for
your jobs and notify you if a delivery is going to be late or on time. The
system also provides the ability to generate a range of KPI reports.
JOB ENTRY
With our highly flexible entry screens powered by a web based back
office system we can cater for almost any scenario even if your
business has more than one entry requirement and multiple users
entering into the system. Should you already have a back office
system then with the help of our tech support team we can setup an
automatic API import process for CSV or Excel Spreadsheets.
Once jobs are entered into the system they are then either
automatically sent out to drivers or waiting allocation using our
web based route planning tool. To further enhance efficiency via the
click of a button we can automatically allocate jobs onto vehicles
and in the most logical order.
ROUTE PLANNING & OPTIMISATION
Our Web based Planning and Optimisation tool makes easy work of
your existing manual process. Using real time job information you are
able to drag and drop the jobs onto the relevant vehicles. The system
has built in checks to make sure you are not overloading the vehicle.
Once a manifest has been created it is then sent out to the drivers or
engineers remotely in the field. To further enhance the efficiency via
a click of a button we can automatically allocate jobs onto vehicles in
the most efficient order and display the route on a map.
HANDHELD DEVICES
Our application is available to download from the Google Play Store
free of charge meaning it can be used by almost any device from
simple smart phones to fully rugged devices. Once downloaded a
driver or engineer can receive their jobs and complete in real time.
Should they be in an area of the country with poor coverage we
store the information locally and then transmit once connected.
Other great features we offer with the handheld’s include:
- Customer Name & Signature Capture
- Barcode & RFID scanning
- Photographs
- Vehicle Inspections
- GPS Tracking
- Auto-email POD to Customer
- Maintenance Part Tracking
- Asset Tracking
- Navigation
INVOICING
We have an invoicing module built into the system as standard.
This allows you to create invoices for completed jobs and then raise
invoices or supplier payments electronically via PDF.
API is available to fully integrate the system with existing IT
systems using both CSV and XML file formats.
Once invoices are created they can then be transferred to third party
accounts applications such as Sage or Oracle.
TRACKING
We have two options of tracking your mobile work force. You can
either track using the handheld device used for signature capture
or we can use a hard wired box installed into the vehicle. As-well
as seeing a real time update on a map showing the fleet we are also
displaying job information and driver performance in one place.
REPORTS
There are a standard set of reports in the system giving detailed
information on jobs and driver performance. The system also has
the ability to export all data fields allowing you to create your
own reports.
CUSTOMER PORTAL
Customers can login to the cloud based system and enter jobs,
view jobs and even track their deliveries. Once jobs have been
entered you then have the option of accepting the jobs or declining.
VEHICLE REMINDERS
PODStar lets you store key reminders, like tax, MOT, and service
dates against your vehicles and be notified in advance of renewal
dates whenever you log into the system.
