PODFather’s ePOD software features include:
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.
Consignment management
Our driver app, a key part of our ePOD solution, allows you to transfer job information direct to drivers (no paper tickets), gather real time item discrepancy information or job cancellations and capture real time proof of delivery confirmations with ease.
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.
Workflow customisation
The flexibility of the PODFather ePOD system means that you can set the system up to work just the way you need it. We have a range of standard templates but our easy to use configuration tool helps ensure to get the system you need to do the job that you need to do.
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.
Performance reporting
Our standard suite of POD reports allows you to keep track of what’s going on in real time and analyse operational performance based on actual historic data. Make informed business decisions with real world data collected by PODFather.

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.
Having real time visibility of what’s happening out on the road, through PODFather, makes a huge difference to how we operate. Our customer care team log into PODFather to see where deliveries are, and the reliability of the system generated ETAs means that everyone in the business has real time visibility of what’s going on with each delivery.
