Detrack ships with a Smart Sort feature out of the box. This means the nearest jobs will always appear at the top of your driver’s list. If you require more sophisticated route planning and optimization i.e. auto assignment with capacity, load, time windows, etc., you can optimize your routes using ElasticRoute (integrated with Detrack).

No. We’ve designed Detrack to be simple and save you the hassle of integrating different systems just to start tracking your deliveries. Simply use our web forms to add your deliveries or import your manifest file (CSV / Excel format) into our system. You can then export PODs in PDF, Excel or CSV. If you want more automation, you can always integrate your system with Detrack via our Application Programming Interface (API).

Yes. Our API is designed to be ready for third party logistics service providers (3PLs) to feedback job statuses (via webhooks or individual API access) to different customers’ systems. This allows customers to receive real-time delivery updates in their system. In fact, many of our 3PLs have won contracts because of this capability.

You will be notified instantly via email when a delivery is completed, whether it is successful or not. You will also be able to see the delivery updated live (no refreshing needed) on the deliveries screen, color-coded to reflect its delivery status.

We accept PayPal and all major debit or credit cards including Amex cards. We also accept telegraphic transfer for invoices over $1000 USD.

Yes! In fact, we have many clients who use Detrack for Proof of Service. Our app can capture the arrival time (or start time) and multiple photos for proof of work done. You can capture the time you started, photos before and after the delivery, and finally, the delivery time and signature of your customer upon job completion. All these will be reflected in the POD which you can then use for invoicing customers.

It may take up to 2 minutes (but usually shorter) for newly added deliveries or changes to appear in your driver’s Detrack app. For bulk uploads or edits i.e. via CSV import or API, it may take a couple more minutes.

Certainly. Re-assigned deliveries may take up to 2 minutes to be reflected on another driver’s devices. Drivers who receive a new delivery or have a delivery removed from their list will receive a push notification informing them of the change.
