Driver-confirmed rounds, phone alerts and a dark theme
Drivers now confirm when they leave the warehouse, the office can add late orders until they do, important events reach your phone even with the app closed, and the driver app installs straight from the browser.
New
Leaving the warehouse
Driver appA driver confirms the moment they set off. That starts the round’s clock, so the time each round really takes is recorded from the yard to the last drop.
Add late orders to a round that is already published
OfficeUntil the driver leaves the warehouse, an order that comes in late can be added to their round. The stops are re-planned, the delivery times updated, and the driver’s phone shows the change straight away.
Round times in Analytics
OfficeSee when each van left and finished, how long the round took, and how that compares with the plan — so the next plan can be more accurate.
Phone notifications, even when the app is closed
EverywhereAlerts now arrive within a second of the event, with no app open. Owners are told when a driver starts their day, an order is delivered and an order fails; drivers are told when a route is published, stops are added or cancelled, or the office sends a message.
Install the driver app from the browser
Driver appAdd it to the Home Screen and it opens full-screen with its own icon — no app store needed. During a round it keeps the screen on, so the van stays visible on the office map.
Updates without reinstalling
Driver appWhen a new version is released, a driver who has had the app open all day sees “Update ready” and can update with one tap. It waits if they are in the middle of recording a delivery.
Light and dark theme
EverywhereChoose the look you prefer. The choice is saved to your account, so it follows you to any device and to the driver app.
Account menu
OfficeClick your name to change the theme, change your password or sign out — everything about your own account in one place.
Colour-coded fleet board
OfficeEach van and its orders share a colour, so a busy day is easy to read at a glance and a stop on the wrong van stands out.
Accept a website order in one step
OfficeA website order can be accepted and given its delivery date in a single action, and then moves straight into planning.
Improved
UK time and dates throughout
EverywhereEvery time and date is shown in UK time and UK format, whatever the phone or computer is set to.
Tracking that keeps making sense
CustomersA tracking link keeps working for 24 hours after delivery and confirms the order is complete. Customers who look up an order that has not been booked yet see that it has been received.
Yesterday’s loose ends are tidied automatically
OfficeDeliveries left unfinished at the end of a day are marked as missed, so today’s screens only show today’s work and nothing is quietly forgotten.
Fixed
Website orders showed “No address”
OfficeThe address a customer enters on the website now appears on the order.
Delivery dates in the past
CustomersThe online shop no longer accepts a requested delivery date that has already gone.
One event, one alert
EverywhereA single delivery could buzz a phone more than once. Each event now sends exactly one notification.
Clock and history in the wrong time zone
Driver appThe driver app’s clock and delivery history followed the phone’s own time zone. They now always use UK time.
