New signature Capture App for Proof of Delivery

Technology specialists HaulTech have launched a new proof of delivery app that captures signatures. It integrates directly into their transport management software solution.

The proof of delivery solution provides complete management and visibility of the live delivery process. It allows hauliers to move to a completely paperless system. Key features of the new app include providing real-time manifest selection, up-to-date load information, signature capture and delivery image capture.

This new technology encourages safer practices for both drivers and transport offices. Vehicle compliances checks are presented before a driver can begin his deliveries or collections. The real-time manifest component eliminates the need to directly contact the driver, removing the distracting and potentially illegal transfer of information.

Haultech has been developing solutions for the transport, logistics and warehouse industries for 27 years. Craig Lamont, HaulTech director said “We’re so proud of our new app and the hard work put in by the team. They have done a truly fantastic job.

This is the start of an exciting journey for us. We have some major developments on the horizon that will revolutionise this technology beyond what is currently available. We have built the foundations we need for our game-changing next generation technologies and lifted the restrictions of the legacy technology used elsewhere within the Transport Management Software space.”

With a greater connected customer experience and with photo capabilities that directly associate with each delivery in the Transport Management Software, this allows for accountable but contactless delivery during the changing COVID-19 landscape.

The project has been supported by the Staffordshire Digital Innovation Partnership (SDIP) and Staffordshire University. The app was also made in conjunction with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDP).

Marc Wootton, head of the SDIP project, stated “HaulTech and Staffordshire University have built an amazing partnership. The knowledge transfer between the two of us has led to a brilliant and revolutionary development that will deliver real change for the users.

The SDIP initiative supports the research and development of new products that can transform a business and we’re delighted to see this positively impact HaulTech.”

The new application is available now on iOS devices via the Apple App Store and on Android devices through the Google Play Store.
