Your drivers are your ops team's eyes on the road. Give them an app built for the job.
We build custom mobile apps for logistics and transport companies — driver apps with route lists, proof-of-delivery capture, real-time status updates, and offline capability for the long stretches without signal. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Your drivers are calling dispatch when a stop goes wrong, texting photos of POD signatures, and calling back when they can't find the delivery address. Every unstructured interaction is a manual overhead on dispatch.
Logistics operations are only as good as the information flowing back from the last mile. A driver who's 40 minutes behind on stop three doesn't need to call dispatch — the app should surface that automatically. A delivery that couldn't be completed because the recipient wasn't home shouldn't require a text message and a manually-created exception in your TMS — the driver should log it in a structured way in under 30 seconds, and dispatch should see it the moment it's submitted.
Right now, your last-mile visibility is whatever drivers report, when they remember to report it, in whatever format they choose. That means your ops team is spending the first half of every shift chasing status on the second half of yesterday. Exception management — re-deliveries, failed collections, address corrections — is reactive and manual because there was no structured status flowing through the system.
Off-the-shelf apps like Track-POD and Onfleet address parts of this. They also have pricing that scales with driver count and feature sets designed for generic trucking rather than your specific operation. When you have unusual stop types, custom proof-of-delivery requirements (photos of specific locations, temperature logs, ID verification), or dispatch workflows that don't fit their assumptions, you're back to workarounds.
A driver app where every stop, status update, photo, and signature flows automatically into dispatch — so your ops team manages exceptions, not routine check-ins.
Route lists with sequenced stops
Drivers see their full day, with address, delivery notes, time windows, and any special requirements per stop — loaded from dispatch before they leave the depot.
Proof of delivery capture
Photo at the door, recipient signature on screen, barcode scan, or temperature log — configurable by stop type. POD flows back to the client portal and the TMS automatically.
Real-time status updates to dispatch
"Arrived," "delivered," "attempted," "failed" — triggered by the driver in one tap, with GPS and timestamp. Dispatch sees all drivers on a live board.
Exception reporting
Structured exception types (no answer, access issue, wrong address, damaged item) with a photo and note — not a free-text WhatsApp message. Dispatch can act on it immediately.
Offline-first for signal dead zones
Everything works offline — routes, stop completion, photo capture, status updates. Syncs the moment connectivity returns, with no data loss. Built with Expo and React Native, offline-first architecture, Convex for the real-time status layer, and integrated with your TMS or dispatch web application.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Logistics operators run on thin margins and predictable cost structures. A mobile app build needs to behave like a capital purchase, not an open-ended service contract. We scope the route list, the POD capture, the exception types, and the dispatch integration precisely — quote it firm, and ship it. Your drivers are trained and on it within 12 to 14 weeks.

Yes. We test against three-year-old Android devices because that's often what's in the fleet. Performance budgeting is built into the development process, not retrofitted at the end.
Routes are pushed to the app from your dispatch system or TMS, either automatically at start of shift or manually released by a dispatcher. Drivers see their stops in the sequence dispatch sets, with the option to reorder if they have local knowledge of a faster sequence.
Yes — that's typically handled by a client-facing web portal rather than the driver app itself, but both pull from the same Convex real-time data layer. Clients see their shipments move through stop status without calling dispatch.
A route list, POD capture, real-time status, and exception reporting app on iOS and Android typically runs $50k–$90k depending on stop type complexity and TMS integration. Fixed-price.
12 to 14 weeks to build. Rollout to drivers takes 1 to 2 weeks depending on fleet size — we build the onboarding flow to be trainable in under 15 minutes per driver.
