PODStar
Manchester, United Kingdom
What it is
PODStar is TouchStar’s electronic proof-of-delivery software for parcel, logistics and other delivery operations. Drivers use Android smartphones or rugged devices to record signatures, photos, barcode scans and delivery data, with GPS evidence and real-time delivery status. These records can be attached to client accounts and form an audit trail for investigating disputes. Drivers can work offline, with data syncing when connectivity returns. The software also includes job scheduling, route planning, driver and vehicle tracking, vehicle inspections, invoicing and driver administration. Customers can view orders, delivery status and proof through a self-service portal. PODStar runs as a cloud service on Microsoft Azure and can connect with ERP, warehouse, transport management and accounting systems through middleware or an API. TouchStar describes a published API and offers integration guidance and support. Pricing is available by quote; no price is published.
