Delivery staff tracking app

Delivery Staff Tracking App by Field Team Tracking

A delivery staff tracking app shows where delivery workers go during their shift, how long they stop at each place, and how far they travel. Field Team Tracking does this from each worker's phone, with attendance and customer calls in the same account.

  • Selfie punch at the start of the shift
  • Route with stops, minutes and kilometres
  • Customer calls logged on Android

What is a delivery staff tracking app?

It is a phone app that records delivery workers' attendance and movement during their shift, so a business can see routes, stop times and distance.

Field Team Tracking covers attendance, routes and calls; it does not dispatch orders or collect proof of delivery.

  • Stops of 5 minutes or more are listed.
  • Fake GPS points are flagged.
  • No order dispatch or delivery signatures.

Delivery staff tracking app for riders and drivers

A delivery staff tracking app helps an owner answer two questions after each shift: where did the rider go, and why did the last drop take so long? Here, a rider’s shift begins with a camera check at the depot, which still counts when the network is down. With the rider’s agreement given once, the handset logs its position until the shift ends, and pauses during breaks. Afterwards the office sees the shift drawn as a line, each halt of five minutes or longer listed with its start, end and length, plus totals for distance, idle time and phone battery. Readings from location-faking apps are marked, and leaps no scooter could make do not count toward the kilometres. Riders can ring customers from the app (calls are saved on Android) or send a WhatsApp message from the customer’s card.

Delivery staff tracking app versus delivery management software

Delivery management systems assign orders, plan routes, send customers a tracking link and collect proof of delivery. This app does none of that. It tracks the people: attendance, the actual route and the time spent at each stop, which suits small delivery teams that already take orders by phone or WhatsApp. Kilometres for fuel are covered on the employee mileage tracking app page, the day’s route on the employee route tracking app page, and the employee’s own view on the field staff tracking app page. Daily and monthly kilometres for riders are set out on the km tracking app for field staff page.

Delivery staff tracking app example: a water can delivery business in Coimbatore

An invented business, with sample figures. A drinking water delivery business in Coimbatore has 10 riders delivering cans to homes and offices. Orders come by phone and WhatsApp, and the owner had no view of riders between the depot and return.

Riders now punch in at the depot, and each shift shows as a route with timed stops. The owner spotted one rider with long idle gaps and moved two of his streets to a closer route. Fuel allowance is now paid from the kilometres export.
