Podfather gets set to celebrate at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2023
What a year it’s been for Team Podfather. New branding, new website, new team members plus a whole host of new features and functionality. Come and see us at stand 4A12 at this year’s Commercial Vehicle Show taking place from the 18th to the 20th of April 2023 at the NEC Birmingham. This event is THE place to be for the UK logistics industry and if you are involved in anything to do with distribution and transport you won’t want to miss it. If you haven’t signed up already visit the CV show website and register for your ticket.
Holding out for a hero?
We’ll be in our usual spot, at the top of the stairs leading into hall 4, but you might notice we look a little different. At the show, you’ll get to see how our new branding is rolling out. Still very much sticking to our black and yellow of old, Podfather has had a fresh makeover. We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved so far and we feel it truly reflects our company ethos, our culture, and our commitment to our customers.
The eagle-eyed among you may well notice the presence of our very own superhero on the stand graphics – ask the team how that came to be – and there will, of course, be a supply of our ever-popular Podducks; we’ve just taken delivery of a new flock that will be looking for new homes.
What we’ll be sharing with you
As a software provider, we are committed to developing and delivering software solutions that meet the real needs of today’s logistics fleet operators. If you are looking for route optimisation, vehicle checks, customer ETA notifications, driver tracking, electronic proof of delivery and reporting we have all that and so much more.
New for 2023 we have lots of functionality to share around the whole idea of improving customer experience. Keeping customers is the key to success and our great new notification enhancements really do take customer experience to a whole new level.
For those visitors who are battling with driver recruitment and retention, speak to the team about our route planning feature. By working with Podfather we can help you build reliable routes that are both feasible and realistic both for your customers and your drivers.
Who are we, we are Podfather!
There is so much that makes Podfather great! Our cloud-based solution and easy-to-use driver app is supported by a fully UK-based team, most of whom are located in and around the beautiful city of Edinburgh. As a business we take security incredibly seriously so feel free to ask the team about our ISO 27001 and Cyber Security certifications; something we are all very proud of.
Our customer base features industry giants such as Tarmac, Bidfresh, Rexel and ODDBOX but we have a large number of customers running large, and small, vehicle fleets who rely on us every day to help plan, manage, track and report on their logistics operation.
Who’s on the stand, meet the team
This year’s show is a first for a few of the Podfather team but there will be the familiar faces of old, plus one industry stalwart who has recently joined our ranks. So, let’s meet the team.
