TOPS ePOD feature update 1.6
Our zero-admin ePOD solution for phones and other mobile devices now offers the optional feature for the carrier or subcontractor to be able to update the planned collection or delivery date and time when they are liaising directly with the shipper or consignee.
There is also a new facility to be able to define by the customer whether an ePOD is permissible; likewise, at the carrier or subcontractor level for when an ePOD link would be inappropriate – for example, an interfaced rail-only subcontractor. Let’s not waste our driver’s time unnecessarily.
We welcome your feedback and views and work with you to overcome any issues. You highlighted an issue with the ‘signature box’ scrolling rather than accepting the signature input on certain devices, which has now been resolved.
TOPS Anywhere 1.3 Changes
Since its launch in 2018, the easy-to-use app which is compatible with Android and Apple devices has been saving transport planners and operators valuable time. Allowing easy access to critical information on each delivery from anywhere, at any time.
The planner can now view further details from the Job Details screen, including driver instructions, SCAC code and gross weight and trailer.
You’ll also notice a ‘sort menu’ and ‘assignment status colours’ have been added to the traffic sheet to aid visibility and we’ve filter improvements too, a new ‘trailer filter’ has been implemented and we’ve adjusted the ‘subcontractor filter’ to also search your Contract Trucks making finding the job you’re interested in even faster. Along with more elegant timeouts for the Job Search this makes TOPS Anywhere more usable than ever before.
The default maps zoom view has also been amended to make it easier to see the local area.
