InfoTech Proof of Delivery App

Overview

Drivers can record signatures, photos and job notes on a phone or tablet instead of relying on paper records. Signatures carry a timestamp and GPS coordinates are attached to each proof of delivery, giving office staff evidence associated with a particular job.

The app is built to work with InfoTech’s weighbridge software and Cloud ERP platform, rather than as a standalone delivery system. InfoTech says it serves skip hire, waste collections, haulage, aggregate delivery, construction and fuel delivery. The company started in 1994 and was incorporated in 1997.

Key features

Evidence tied to a delivery

Drivers can capture a signature, add job notes and photograph loads, damage or delivery locations. Photos attach to the job record, while the signature’s timestamp and recorded GPS coordinates help connect the evidence to the delivery. That combination is useful when an office needs to check what happened at a job, though the app’s value depends on using InfoTech’s wider system.

Offline capture and customer confirmation

The app saves data locally when there is no connection and syncs it automatically when connectivity returns. This supports routes through areas with unreliable service without requiring drivers to wait to enter the job record. On completion, it can email the customer a PDF proof of delivery.

Office visibility and billing links

Office staff can see real-time delivery status, including completed, outstanding and failed jobs. POD can be linked to weighbridge tickets, and an integrated billing setup can trigger an invoice when a delivery occurs. These connections make the app most relevant to businesses already running InfoTech software; they do not make it a general-purpose replacement for that system.

Pricing

The InfoTech POD App plan is free. The app itself is free, but using it requires InfoTech weighbridge software version 3 or later and a purchased POD licence. The practical cost is therefore not simply zero: operators need the required InfoTech software and licence before drivers can use the app.

It makes sense for an existing InfoTech customer who wants mobile delivery evidence and status tracking. A business seeking a standalone POD tool should compare alternatives rather than treat the free app price as the full cost of adoption.

Platforms

The app supports Android and iOS, with API access also indicated. No web platform is indicated for the app, so the mobile capture workflow is the clearest fit for drivers, while office staff can use InfoTech’s delivery-status view.

Who it's for

InfoTech customers in skip hire, waste collection, haulage, aggregate, construction or fuel delivery are the natural audience. Offline storage, photo evidence and emailed PDF confirmations are useful where drivers need to document jobs in the field and office staff need prompt status updates. Businesses that do not use InfoTech weighbridge software should look elsewhere because the app requires that system and a POD licence.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Offline entry syncs automatically after connectivity returns, supporting delivery work in areas with poor service.
• Signatures, timestamps, GPS coordinates and job-linked photos provide several forms of delivery evidence.
• Real-time status and links to weighbridge tickets and billing can connect field records with office operations.
• The app price is free.

Cons

• It requires InfoTech weighbridge software version 3 or later and a purchased POD licence, so it is not a free standalone system.
• Its fit is narrowest for businesses outside InfoTech’s software ecosystem, where the integrations are less relevant.
• The maker says the app may require personally identifiable information and may use third-party services such as Google Play Services. It describes its security measures as commercially acceptable but does not guarantee absolute security of internet transmission or electronic storage.

Verdict

Choose InfoTech Proof of Delivery App if your business already runs InfoTech weighbridge software and needs offline-capable mobile evidence connected to delivery status, weighbridge tickets or billing. Its combination of signatures, photos, GPS records and automatic syncing is practical for field teams. Look elsewhere if you need a standalone POD service: the free app still depends on InfoTech software and a purchased licence.
