Signature Capture and Photo Capture
Your drivers, equipped with the EXTRA driver mobile application, can gather electronic signatures or take photos at the point of delivery or service. All signatures and photos are automatically uploaded to the web where they are attached to a proof of delivery or service document in EXTRA. Those documents can then be set to automatically email to your customers or your team.
Messaging
Communication is key in any last mile operation. Through built in messaging in the driver application, your managers, dispatchers, and customer service representatives can easily message the driver which is read aloud on their device. The drivers, while stopped, can respond to the team at home base. Additionally, managers and dispatchers can easily message each other within the dispatch screen for constant communication.
Optimized Route Sequencing
Optimized routes are the first step in ensuring efficiency in your delivery or service operations. By utilizing EXTRA’s optimization engine, your routes will be built according to customer time windows, traffic, proximity, customer preferences, and much more. Optimization happens in seconds, allowing you to get your drivers on the road as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Custom Driver Templates
In the hectic world of the last mile, each customer wants different proof of delivery information to be collected by the driver.
