THE CHALLENGEThe Last Mile Decides Cost and Customer Trust
The final leg of a delivery is the most expensive and the most visible. Customers expect a live ETA and a where-is-my-order link, finance needs proof of delivery that holds up, and operations needs routes tight enough to fit more drops into a shift. Most e-commerce and 3PL teams run this on a patchwork of spreadsheets, a generic tracker, and phone calls to drivers. A connected last-mile platform closes the loop from order to doorstep.
Built within the Telematics and GPS Tracking ecosystem, and frequently paired with Logistics and Transport Tracking.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The Last-Mile Delivery Platform
Driver Mobile App
An Android and iOS app with the optimised route, stop list, navigation handoff, and ePOD capture. It works offline through patchy coverage, caching the route and queuing captures until the network returns.
Order and TMS Integration
Orders are pulled from your e-commerce platform, OMS, or TMS through API and webhook, with status pushed back in real time: out for delivery, delivered, failed, rescheduled. Your system of record and the driver app stay in sync all day.
Live Customer Tracking Link
A no-install web link the customer opens to watch the driver approach, with a live ETA and queue position. The link is sent on dispatch by SMS or push and expires once the delivery completes.
Electronic Proof of Delivery
Signature, photo, barcode or QR scan, and OTP capture at the doorstep, each geo-tagged and timestamped. Disputes get settled with evidence instead of a paper slip that went missing.
Route Optimisation
Stop sequencing that respects delivery windows, capacity, and priority, run at dispatch and re-sequenced mid-route when a drop fails or a pickup is added. More deliveries per shift and a tighter customer ETA.
Delivery Analytics
First-attempt success, on-time rate, time per stop, distance per delivery, and failure reasons, by driver and by zone. The operation sees exactly where the last mile leaks time and money.
THE DELIVERY FLOW
From Order to Doorstep
The last mile is modeled as one continuous flow rather than disconnected steps, so an order picked up in the morning is tracked, optimised, delivered, and reconciled without anyone re-keying data between systems.
Dispatch and Routing
Orders flow in from the OMS or TMS, get grouped into runs, and are optimised into a sequenced route per driver, with delivery windows and priorities respected before the shift starts.
On the Road
The driver app guides each stop, the customer link shows a live ETA, and status updates fire automatically as deliveries complete, fail, or get rescheduled, with offline capture covering dead zones.
Doorstep and Reconcile
ePOD captures the handover, status posts back to your system instantly, and end-of-day reconciliation closes the run with analytics ready for the next planning cycle.
WHO IT IS FOR
Built Around Your Delivery Model
E-Commerce Brands
Direct-to-consumer brands running their own delivery fleet get a branded tracking link, first-attempt success metrics, and ePOD that protects against fraudulent non-delivery claims.
Third-Party Logistics
3PL operators serving many clients get multi-tenant separation, per-client SLAs and reporting, and integrations into each client OMS or TMS from one platform.
Grocery and Food
Time-sensitive deliveries get tight windows, priority sequencing, and live ETAs that hold up when freshness and a narrow slot both matter.
Courier and Parcel
High-volume parcel operations get dense route optimisation, scan-based ePOD, and zone-level analytics to push more drops into every shift.
FAQ
Common Questions
How does the live customer tracking link work?
When a delivery is out for the day, the customer receives an SMS or push with a link. Opening it shows the driver moving on a map, the live ETA, and the position in the queue of stops. No app install is needed, the link is a lightweight web page. The ETA updates as the driver progresses, and the link expires once the delivery is complete.
What is electronic proof of delivery?
Electronic proof of delivery, ePOD, replaces the paper slip. At the doorstep the driver captures a signature, a photo, a barcode or QR scan of the parcel, and an OTP where the order requires verified handover. Each artefact is geo-tagged and timestamped, so a delivery dispute can be settled with the actual evidence rather than a he-said claim.
Does it integrate with your order or TMS system?
Yes. Orders are pulled from your e-commerce platform, OMS, or transport management system through API or webhook, status changes are pushed back as they happen, out for delivery, delivered, failed, rescheduled, and reconciled at end of day. Designed to connect with Shopify-style storefronts, custom OMS, and 3PL TMS platforms, so the driver app and your system of record stay in sync.
How does route optimisation help?
Each driver stop list is sequenced to cut distance and time, respecting delivery windows, vehicle capacity, and priority orders. Optimisation runs at dispatch and can re-sequence mid-route when a stop fails or a new pickup is added. The result is more deliveries per shift and a tighter ETA for the customer-facing link.
What does the driver app do offline?
Last-mile routes pass through patchy coverage, so the app is built to work offline. Route, stops, and order details are cached on the device, ePOD captures including signature and photo queue locally, and everything syncs the moment connectivity returns. The driver is never blocked at a doorstep because the network dropped.
What analytics do you provide?
Included: first-attempt success rate, on-time percentage against the promised window, average time per stop, distance per delivery, failed-delivery reasons, and per-driver and per-zone performance. These feed both operational dashboards and the metrics e-commerce and 3PL teams report on, so the operation can see exactly where the last mile is leaking time or money.
How accurate is the ETA?
The ETA comes from a routing engine that accounts for the remaining stop sequence and, where available, live traffic. For repeated delivery zones, historical travel and service times are blended by time of day, so the estimate reflects real conditions rather than free-flow speed. That is what keeps the customer-facing countdown honest.
