Dispatch & consignment tracking

Load planning, driver allocation, live consignment status and proof of delivery captured in the field.

FileMaker ServerMobileREST API

The starting point

Loads were planned on a whiteboard, drivers carried paperwork, and the office answered 'where is my consignment?' by phoning the driver. Proof of delivery came back in a bag of dockets.

What we built

  • Load planning with vehicle and driver allocation
  • Consignment status updated from the field on a mobile device
  • Proof of delivery captured at the door — signature, photo and exceptions
  • Client-facing consignment status exposed over REST

What it delivers

  • Load planning and driver allocation
  • Live consignment status for operations and clients
  • Proof of delivery captured on site

The outcome

The office stops phoning drivers, proof of delivery is in the system the moment it is captured, and billing follows what was actually delivered.
