An easy-to-use ‘Upper For Driver’ App For Seamless Delivery Operations

Managing and exploring route plans is now available at your fingertips. Download the newly-designed ‘Upper for Driver’ app from Google Play Store or App Store to learn about delivery status, schedule routes, and other important updates

At Upper, we are not only just limited to generating delivery route plans but also offer a helping hand to the drivers. After all, it’s a driver who makes an effort to delight customers with quicker deliveries. 

To make you leapfrog delivery chaos and provide much-needed assistance, we rolled out the dedicated driver app.

Key Features of ‘Upper for Driver’ App

If the business owners are dealing with multiple deliveries, they hardly get time to guide drivers or deliver important instructions to them. Considering this scenario, what if you have an assistant who keeps the driver updated every time you send them messages. 

The ‘Upper for Driver’ app does a similar job to gather all necessary delivery information for drivers. Sounds good? Then, let us explore its features by looking at which your driver would get hyped. 

1. Automatic Route Modification:

Our driver app syncs automatically with the route planner which means it will display the updated route map. Also, it will let you open the map on the preferred mapping platform. In case the route has been optimized, it will show the updated route plan on the screen.

2. Stop Information:

By accessing the driver app, you will know stop information like priority status, service time, and stop types such as delivery or pickup. It covers all the necessary details so that you don’t have unnecessary stops to call dispatchers in between the delivery process.

3. Delivery Route Schedule:

Open the driver app and check out the delivery schedule for weeks or months in advance. Access the app anytime to know the number of deliveries for a specific day and plan your schedule accordingly. In case of changes in the route plan, it will reoptimize the entire route.

4. Delivery Status:

The driver app has an in-built algorithm that keeps the driver updated about the delivery schedule. Logging in, you can quickly check whether the package is ready for dispatch or not. It will be highlighted on the right side of the route list page.

5. Customer E-signature:

To make sure the package was delivered to the right place, drivers can receive the customer’s signature directly into the app. Plus, drivers can also capture photos of the delivered item in case the recipient is unavailable at the location. In such cases, the app allows you to add the delivery notes after completing the delivery.

Main Benefits of Using The ‘Upper for Driver’ App

1. Delivery Route Notifications

Installing the app, you will be notified every time you get the new delivery route. At the time of delivery, it automatically directs you to the destination point by avoiding road constraints. Keep following the route map in satellite, terrain, or normal view and reach the delivery location in the best possible way.

2. Driver Preference:

It is a dedicated app for the drivers that allows them to mark the deliveries as completed or skipped. According to that, it will modify the route map in such a way that deliveries must be completed within a decided time. A generated route plan would have highways or toll booths as per the driver’s convenience.

3. Accessible In Internet-free Zones:

Driver-friendly app has no working issues even if you go out of the network area. The route plan will continue to appear so that you can reach the next delivery stop without any hassles. Since you are on duty without internet support, delivery updates might be disrupted.

4. No Repeated Phone Calls:

Getting calls from customers would irk you amid the ongoing delivery process. But it won’t be the case on the driver app as it requests the customers to drop their comments in the delivery notes instead of making calls. Dispatchers, too, don’t need phone calls to update the status as you will receive the alerts directly on the app.

5. Proof of Delivery:

Once you deliver the package to the buyer, you can ensure it is delivered to the right customer by collecting electronic proof of delivery. The driver or delivery agent can record the e-signature of the customer or even take multiple photos.
