Maxmove Digital POD

Maxmove Digital POD records delivery proof electronically and attaches it to orders. Evidence can include photos, recipient signatures, PDF delivery notes, age verification, barcode scans, GPS timestamps, and blockchain verification. Drivers can submit proof through QR-code or SMS links using a device without installing an app or creating an account. The native Maxmove driver app can capture proof when the company fleet completes a delivery; subcontractors can use the same app and process. Webhooks, a REST API, and SFTP export send structured proof to TMS, ERP, or customer portals. Uploads are timestamped, geofenced, and cryptographically hashed, with configurable retention policies and GDPR-ready handling. Since proof is available when delivery is completed, orders can be billed immediately. Digital POD is included in Maxmove TMS's free entry tier, which is cancellable monthly and requires no installation or implementation project. Maxmove also offers a 30-day evaluation of its complete fleet platform without a card. The product supports Android, iOS, web, and API access.

Maxmove Digital POD offers multiple ways to capture and transfer delivery evidence, including a driver app and app-free links. It is included in the free TMS entry tier, with a separate 30-day evaluation for the complete fleet platform.

It suits fleets, forwarders, and courier companies that need delivery evidence linked to orders. It can also fit businesses that work with subcontractors or connect proof data to TMS, ERP, or customer portals.

Overview

Maxmove Digital POD records delivery evidence against orders, for fleets, forwarders and courier companies that need proof to move quickly from the driver to operations. Its strongest fit is a business already using Maxmove TMS; app-free capture links also make it practical when occasional or subcontracted drivers should not need another account.

Real-time proof availability can support prompt billing, and the free TMS entry tier lowers the barrier to adoption. The trade-off is that Digital POD is presented as part of Maxmove’s wider fleet platform, rather than as a separately priced standalone service.

Key features

Capture for different driver setups

Evidence can include signatures, photos, PDF delivery notes, age verification, barcode scans, GPS timestamps and blockchain verification. This range suits deliveries with varied proof requirements, although operations needing only a basic signature may not benefit from every format. Universal QR-code and SMS links let a driver upload from any device without an app or account; the native driver app automatically captures POD when a company-fleet delivery is completed. Subcontractors can use that same app and process, keeping photo, signature and GPS proof on the order.

Order handoff and system connections

Proof is available as soon as delivery is completed, so businesses can bill orders without waiting for paperwork to return. Real-time delivery status supports operational visibility. Webhooks, a REST API and SFTP export send structured evidence to TMS, ERP or customer portals, giving businesses several ways to connect delivery records to back-office workflows.

Uploads are timestamped, geofenced and cryptographically hashed, with configurable retention policies and GDPR-ready handling. For organizations building partner integrations, API keys can be scoped by organization and support test and live modes, signed webhooks and idempotency keys. Partner API routes allow up to ten intermediate stops and item arrays of one to one hundred lines.

The Maxmove Shopify app provides checkout delivery rates and synchronizes qualifying orders with a Maxmove business workspace. It is relevant to Shopify businesses tying online orders to delivery operations, not a general-purpose storefront integration.

Pricing

Free entry tier: free, cancellable monthly. It includes Digital POD within Maxmove TMS, with signature, photo and GPS evidence, real-time delivery status and API access. The free plan makes sense for teams that want to use POD within the TMS without an installation or implementation project. No seat or order cap is stated for this tier, so it should not be assumed to have a particular capacity limit.

30-day trial: Maxmove offers a free evaluation of the complete fleet platform for 30 days without a card. This is broader than the free entry tier and suits businesses evaluating the fleet platform before deciding whether it fits their operation. The trial length is fixed at 30 days; no paid renewal price is stated.

The pricing model is freemium. Businesses seeking a separately priced paid POD plan will need custom pricing rather than a published paid tier.

Platforms

Maxmove Digital POD is available on Android, iOS, web and API. The app-free QR-code and SMS links are useful when drivers need to submit evidence without installing the native app or creating an account.

Who it's for

Maxmove targets fleets, forwarders and courier companies of every size. It is especially well suited to operations already using Maxmove TMS, businesses that rely on subcontractors, and teams that need delivery proof attached to orders promptly for billing or system handoff. Maxmove advertises dedicated account managers and round-the-clock priority support for businesses.

It is less compelling for buyers who need a standalone POD system with a clearly published paid plan, or who want to compare plan caps before choosing a service.

Pros and cons

• Pro: QR-code and SMS capture needs no app download or driver account, which can reduce friction for occasional drivers.
• Pro: The free TMS entry tier includes Digital POD, and the complete fleet platform has a 30-day card-free evaluation.
• Pro: Multiple proof formats, geofenced and hashed uploads, and retention controls support varied delivery and recordkeeping needs.
• Pro: Proof available at delivery completion can help teams move directly to billing.
• Con: Digital POD sits within Maxmove TMS, so buyers looking for an independent, standalone POD product may prefer a different fit.
• Con: A paid POD plan and its limits are not published, making cost and capacity harder to compare for growing operations.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Proof of Delivery Software. InfoTech Proof of Delivery App is another free Android, iOS and API option, but using it requires InfoTech weighbridge software and a POD licence. Pocpod is worth considering for a small team wanting a defined free allowance: its Basic plan gives one user and 10 jobs a month, with reports, online portal access and basic support; Premium is £20 a month, billed monthly.

SmartCourier may suit a small delivery operation comparing a free one-month Starter offer, which includes up to three runners, one branch, a basic web dashboard, GPS tracking, mobile app access, photo evidence and API access. Hikyaku is an option for personal users comfortable self-hosting a free plan; enterprise cloud buyers can ask about its trial. DQT Proof of Delivery is another paid option for Android, iOS, API and web.

PODStar is a paid Android, API and web alternative with quote-on-request pricing. Civica Complaints Management is a paid Android, iOS, API and web option. LEAFIO Route Sense is a paid Android, iOS and API alternative with custom pricing.

Verdict

Choose Maxmove Digital POD if your fleet, forwarding or courier operation wants flexible proof capture built into Maxmove TMS, especially when rapid billing and app-free links matter. The free entry tier and card-free 30-day platform evaluation make it accessible to assess. Look elsewhere if you need a standalone POD product or a published paid plan with clear capacity limits.
