Mobile Apps for Courier and Logistics Companies: Delivery Staff, Customers and Franchises in Your Pocket

A courier company’s operations happen on the move: pickup staff collecting parcels, delivery boys completing runsheets, franchise partners booking consignments and customers asking where their shipment is. Mobile apps put each of these people directly into your system, in real time.

Three apps that make a difference

1. Field staff app (pickup and delivery)

• Assigned pickups and delivery runsheets on the phone
• Barcode or AWB scanning using the phone camera
• Proof of delivery: receiver name, signature and photo
• Undelivered reasons and RTO marking
• COD collection recording
• GPS location for supervisors

2. Customer app

• Book pickups and get instant rate quotes
• Track shipments with live status
• View invoices and payment history
• Notifications at every stage

3. Franchise and branch app

• Book consignments at the counter from a phone or tablet
• View commissions and settlements
• Receive announcements and rate updates

Benefits for courier businesses

• Real-time status for customers without phone calls
• Fewer disputes thanks to photo and signature proof
• Faster billing because delivery data flows straight into the system
• Better control of field staff and COD cash
• A more professional brand in front of business customers
