PODStar is TouchStar’s electronic proof-of-delivery software for parcel, logistics and other delivery operations. Drivers can use Android phones or rugged devices to capture signatures, photos, barcode scans and delivery data, with real-time status and GPS evidence. These records can be attached to client accounts and form an audit trail for investigating disputes. Drivers can keep working offline, with data syncing when connectivity returns. Beyond proof capture, PODStar 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. The service runs as SaaS over the internet on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, and TouchStar describes API and middleware connections to ERP, warehouse, transport management and accounting systems. Its published API has a manual, with integration guidance and personal support. The maker lists implementation services and a 24/7 UK-based support helpdesk. Pricing is available on request; no price or plan limits are published.
