Delivery Photo and Signature Capture with GPS Verification in One Tap
Upper’s proof of delivery workflow is built directly into the driver’s route. No switching apps, no extra steps. Drivers capture what they need at each stop, and the proof syncs to your dashboard instantly.
One-Tap E-Signature Capture
Customers sign directly on the driver’s phone or tablet screen. The signature is captured alongside GPS coordinates, a timestamp, and the stop details, creating a complete, tamper-proof record that holds up in any dispute. No paper slips, no scanning, no chasing down missing forms.
-
Finger-drawn signature on any iOS or Android device
-
GPS coordinates and timestamp recorded automatically
-
Signature linked to a specific stop and route record
-
Stored permanently in your Upper dashboard
-
Accessible by dispatchers and managers in real time
-
Works on phones and tablets of any screen size
Photo Proof at the Point of Delivery
Drivers snap photos directly inside the Upper app before or after each drop-off. Every image is automatically tagged with GPS location, date, and time, so there is zero ambiguity about what was delivered, where, and when. No more photos lost in personal camera rolls or group chats.
-
Multiple photos per stop for full documentation
-
Automatic GPS geotagging on every image
-
Timestamp embedded in photo metadata

Photos attached to the stop record in your dashboard

Contactless Delivery Verification
When a recipient is not available or prefers no-contact delivery, drivers use photo proof to verify the drop-off without needing a signature. Upper’s workflow prompts the driver to capture a photo of the package at the delivery location, tagged with GPS and time, giving you the same level of verification without physical contact.
-
Photo-only proof mode for contactless drops
-
GPS and timestamp verification without recipient interaction
-
Driver notes field for additional delivery context
-
Automatic customer notification with delivery confirmation
-
Ideal for residential, leave-at-door, and unattended deliveries
-
Eliminates “package not received” claims
Offline Capture and Auto-Sync
Drivers do not always have a reliable signal at every stop. Upper’s mobile app captures signatures and photos even without an internet connection. The moment the device reconnects, all proof data syncs automatically to your dashboard. No lost records, no manual uploads, no gaps in your delivery history.
-
Full photo and signature capture in offline mode
-
Automatic sync when the connection is restored
-
No data loss in dead zones or rural areas

Client Success Stories
“We used to spend 2 hours every morning planning routes in spreadsheets. Now it takes 10 minutes. Upper paid for itself in the first week.”
“What sold me was how easy it is to make changes. My schedules change a lot and I drag & drop stops and we’re back on track in 30 seconds. With our old software, that would’ve been an hour of replanning.”
“Our drivers actually follow the routes now. The app is simple, the navigation works, and they’re not calling me every 10 minutes asking where to go next.”
Proof of Delivery Features for Complete Delivery Verification
- Barcode Scanning
- Customer Notifications
- Driver Notes
- Route Integration
- Delivery History
Barcode Scanning
Drivers scan package barcodes at pickup and delivery to confirm the right item reaches the right address. Combined with photo and signature proof, barcode scanning creates a triple-verified delivery record that eliminates manual errors.
Customer Notifications
Automated notifications send delivery confirmations to recipients the moment proof is captured. Customers receive an update with estimated or confirmed delivery status, reducing inbound “where’s my package” calls.
Driver Notes
Drivers add free-text notes to any stop, flagging exceptions like closed businesses, wrong addresses, or special instructions. Notes are stored alongside photos and signatures in the same proof record.
Route Integration
Photo and signature capture are built into the route planning workflow. Drivers do not switch between apps. They follow their optimized route, complete each stop, and capture proof in one continuous flow.
Delivery History
Every delivery across every route is logged with full proof records. Search, filter, and export delivery history by date range, driver, customer, or route for audits, compliance, and performance reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does Upper capture delivery signatures on a mobile device?
The driver opens the stop in Upper’s mobile app and taps the signature field. The recipient draws their signature directly on the phone or tablet screen using their finger. Upper records the signature alongside GPS coordinates, a timestamp, and the stop details. The signed record syncs to the dispatcher’s dashboard immediately or queues for sync if the device is offline.
-
Can drivers take multiple photos per delivery in Upper?
Yes. Drivers can attach multiple photos to each stop, capturing the package condition, the delivery location, and any other relevant details. Each photo is automatically geotagged with GPS coordinates and timestamped. All images are stored in the stop’s proof record on your dashboard and are searchable by driver, date, or customer.
-
Does Upper’s photo and signature capture work without internet?
Upper’s mobile app captures photos and signatures in full offline mode. The driver’s experience is identical whether they have a signal or not. When the device reconnects, all proof data syncs automatically to the dashboard in the correct delivery sequence. Nothing is lost, and the driver does not need to re-capture anything.
-
How does Upper handle contactless or unattended deliveries?
When a recipient is not present, the driver switches to photo-only proof mode. They photograph the package at the delivery location, and Upper records GPS coordinates and a timestamp to verify the drop-off. The system can also trigger an automated notification to the customer confirming delivery with the proof attached.
-
Can I search for a specific delivery’s photo and signature capture records in Upper?
The centralized proof dashboard lets you search delivery photo and signature capture records by driver name, delivery date, route, or customer. You can filter results by proof type, including photos, signatures, or notes. Each record includes full metadata so you can locate exactly the delivery you need in seconds rather than scrolling through files or messages.
-
Is Upper’s signature capture suitable for small delivery teams?
Upper scales from solo drivers to large fleets. A three-driver operation gets the same photo and signature capture, GPS verification, and centralized dashboard as a 50-truck fleet. Pricing starts at $40 per month per user, and you can start with a free trial to test the full proof of delivery workflow before committing.
