The Truck Driver App

DELIVERY

DELIVERY is our app for truck drivers, which provides support from planning order processing workflow to delivering the goods to the customer. Each step is seamlessly and transparently integrated into the LFS software. Step by step, the driver is guided through various activities of the tour, while simultaneously measuring the progress of the tour and orders contained therein, transmitting the driver's status to WMS in real time. If required, the driver can achieve all of this using their smartphone or tablet running on either the Android or iOS operating system, even when offline.
