  • Works on any phone, no app store
  • Live traffic arrival times
  • Proof of delivery built in
  • Customer tracking by email
  • Your logo and colours

Today

See every van, live

Everything happening on today's rounds, on one screen. Click a driver and their van lights up on the map, with their whole round drawn along the roads.

  • Live map showing every van from the driver's phone GPS
  • Labels like "Job 3/6 · To Marina Kitchen · 2.1 mi · 4 min with traffic"
  • Arrival times with live traffic, and a Traffic switch that colours the roads green, orange or red
  • Drops coloured red (to do), orange (driver there, with how long) and green (done)
  • Today's totals: drivers out, drops done, items delivered and collected, anything coming back
  • Each driver's round as a list: what's planned, delivered, collected and the time it was done
  • Change a driver's van, look back at any day, and plan tomorrow's rounds
  • See the signature and photo for any finished drop
  • Message any driver, or announce to every driver at once (road closures, changes), and see who has read it

Light and dark mode both included. It follows the setting on each computer or phone.

Mid-shift changes

Add a job in seconds, to the right driver

A customer rings with an extra order? Click them on the map and say what's needed. The hub suggests which driver should take it.

  • Pick the customer on the map or from a list
  • Deliver, collect or both, with how many, or "not known yet"
  • Driver suggestions: "Closest now" and "Going that way", showing how close each round passes
  • Put it as their next drop or at the end of the round
  • Add a note, for example "ask for Kelly at reception"
  • It appears on the driver's phone straight away, with a "New job from the office" banner
  • Message the driver to let them know, or announce to all drivers about a road closure
Add a job window with map, driver suggestions and notes
Messages window: a driver says they're running late and the office replies

Messages with drivers, and announcements to everyone, from the Today screen.

Routes

Build your routes, then let the hub find the best order

Give each route a number, add the customers it covers, and drag the stops into order. The line follows real roads and redraws instantly as you move things.

  • Numbered routes (R1, R2…) with their own colour, days and usual driver
  • Drag stops into order, or press Best order to save miles
  • Real road miles and drive time for the whole route
  • Back to base stops for part-and-part rounds, when a van needs to reload
  • A home base for each route, if it runs from somewhere other than your main depot
  • Grey dots show customers not on this route: tap one to add it
  • Give a route to a driver for any day, and it's on their phone in that order
  • Or let Auto-plan share out a whole day for you
Routes screen with numbered routes, stops in order and the road route on a map
Auto-plan (beta)

Share out a whole day's drops in one click

Pick the day and the drivers. The hub splits the drops fairly between vans, puts each round in a sensible order and shows it on the map before anything is sent.

  • Shares drops fairly, giving smaller vans less
  • Keeps within each van's load limit, with trips back to base to reload
  • Respects customers' delivery windows, for example 8am to 11am
  • Leaves out drivers who are on holiday
  • Shows miles and a "back about" time for every driver
  • Nothing goes to drivers until a trained planner has checked and ticked it

Beta: rough routes for a person to check, not a replacement for your planner.

Rota

Shifts for the week, at a glance

Tap any shift to change it. The hub checks you've got cover every day and warns you about short rest breaks.

  • Early, Day, Late, Night, Off and Holiday shifts, colour coded
  • Weekly hours for each driver
  • Cover each day: how many drivers are on each shift
  • Rota warnings, for example "only 9 hours' rest between Late and Early"
  • Booked holidays show on the rota automatically
  • Drivers see their own rota on their phone
Weekly rota with shifts, cover and warnings
Fleet

Every vehicle, and what's due

Never miss an MOT, tax or service again. Faults from the drivers' walkaround checks land here as they happen.

  • Vans and lorries with registration, an optional name ("Little Blue") and usual driver
  • Show vehicles by name or registration across the hub
  • MOT, road tax, service and insurance dates, turning orange when due and red when overdue
  • Mileage kept up to date from the drivers' checks
  • Faults reported by drivers, with a Mark fixed button
  • Safety faults take the van off the road straight away
  • Today's walkaround checks: who checked which van, and when
  • Electric vans and lorries (HGV) flagged, so drivers get the right checks
  • Tachograph downloads for HGV drivers and lorries, with reminders when a driver card (28 days) or vehicle unit (90 days) is due
  • Compliance pack: every check, defect, repair, licence check, timesheet and tachograph file in one download, ready if DVSA asks
Fleet list with due dates, mileage, faults and walkaround checks
Customers

Know every customer, and how they like it done

Everyone you deliver to, with what they've had, what they've sent back, and how they want proof of delivery.

  • Delivered, collected and still with them this week
  • A six-week chart for each customer, and the share they send back
  • Delivery days, usual amounts, contact and notes for drivers
  • Proof of delivery per customer: mark regular customers as Trusted so they're never asked, or ask others for a signature, a photo or both
  • Site safety notes that drivers must tick before delivering
  • Add one with a postcode lookup and map pin, or import a spreadsheet
  • Tracking switch on every customer, plus their email for delivery updates
  • Delivery windows and star ratings on each customer
  • Add a job to any customer from their page

Customer updates

Your customers know when you're coming

When the driver sets off, the customer gets an email with a tracking link. No texts to pay for, and no app for them to download.

  • "Your driver is on the way" email with a live tracking link
  • The van shows on the map only when they're the next drop, so drivers' other stops stay private
  • Arrival time with live traffic, and how many stops before theirs
  • "Delivered" email with the time and who signed
  • Star ratings and comments from customers, shown against each delivery
  • The link stops working 7 days after delivery
  • Switch tracking on or off for each customer with one tap
The customer's tracking page: You're next, 19 minutes, with a map

What your customer sees when they open the link.

  • Switch each area on or off: live map, rota, routes, fleet, customers, staff, holidays, hours, settings
  • Staff contact details and licences stay hidden from roles without Staff access

  • Your header and highlight colours, with a live preview

Safe, private and looked after

Your data stays yours

Each company's information is kept completely separate, and staff only see what their role allows. An access log shows who opened what.

Secure logins

Every person has their own login. Passwords are stored scrambled, never as plain text, and new ones must be changed on first login.

Backed up

Everything is saved as it happens and can be restored to any point in the last 30 days. Photos and signatures are stored privately.

Real support

A UK company, Stanley Apps Ltd. If you ask for help, we can look at your hub with you, and every action we take shows in your activity log.

Questions

Good to know

Do drivers need to download an app?

No. Drivers go to the web address on their phone and log in. They can add it to their home screen so it opens like an app. It works on any modern iPhone or Android.

What if we don't know amounts until the van is loaded?

That's fine. Drivers count the load for each drop as they load, or you can switch counting off and they just record what they delivered.

Can we bring our customers across?

Yes. Paste or upload a spreadsheet of names, addresses, postcodes and delivery days, and the hub finds them on the map.

Can it match the words we use?

Yes. Items, parcels, cases or pallets; customers or sites; collections or returns. You choose, and the office hub and driver app both change.

How does live tracking respect drivers' privacy?

Location is only shared while a driver is out on their round, and it pauses when they start a break.

Do our customers get text messages?

No, updates go by email, so there are no text charges. Each email has a tracking link that works in any browser, and you choose which customers get them.

Can it link to our shop or order system?

Yes. Your developer or software supplier can send jobs in with an API key and hear back when they're delivered. Without a developer, download your deliveries as a spreadsheet for your accounts.

What if DVSA asks to see our records?

Press Compliance pack on the Fleet page. You get one ZIP file with a summary, every walkaround check, defect and repair, your drivers' licence checks, hours worked and tachograph files, for any dates you choose.

Does it work with Xero or QuickBooks?

Yes. Put a price per drop or per item on each customer, then download a month's deliveries as invoices in Xero's or QuickBooks' import format. They come in as drafts for you to check and send.

We don't need everything. Can we switch things off?

Yes. Tracking, ratings, auto-plan, barcode scanning, cash on delivery, driver messages and more can each be switched off in Settings, and they disappear from the hub and the driver app.

What does it cost?
