Features
Easy to use
The PODFather mobile app is easy to use, displays the jobs your drivers need to complete in the order planned, prompts the driver to complete them properly, and ensures all essential information to be captured in a user friendly and intuitive app.
Photos & sign on glass
The driver can hand over the smart phone for the recipient to sign on glass, and the phone camera can be used to capture and upload photographic evidence which is sent straight back to the office.
Send it back to the office in real time
All ePOD information is uploaded straight back to the backoffice in real time. There is no reliance on paper tickets. If the customer wants a copy, the system can send an email with the POD attached as soon as the job is complete.
Permanent archive
PODFather permanently archives all proof of delivery (or job sheets) in your account. All PODs are clearly filed making them easy to find and any jobs with discrepancies are highlighted to allow you to resolve issues quickly.
The benefits of using PODFather’s electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD):
Case Study: Tiffin Sandwiches
Tiffin, the UK’s largest independent sandwich manufacturer company, is keeping COVID-19 staff fed and watered across the UK with the delivery of more than 40,000 food grab bags every week. Having been awarded the contract to supply food and drinks to centre staff, Tiffin turned to its ePOD partner. Using forward thinking technology Tiffin is planning routes, tracking deliveries, and capturing signature free proof of delivery in real time, with the PODFather cloud-based planning solution and driver app. Read the full Tiffin case study.

With the introduction of PODFather we are saving up to five hours of admin time every day by not relying on paper tickets; time that can be used elsewhere within the business. In addition, with real time proof of delivery collection we can immediately see what work we’ve completed, deal with discrepancies, and invoice accordingly. As far as we are concerned it’s a real game changer in terms of improving how we carry out our day to day business.
