The Proof of Delivery feature collects information via the OptimoRoute Mobile Application, which is automatically fed back into the OptimoRoute Web Application. The feature has 3 functions:

Activation and configuration

Administrators/dispatchers need to activate and configure Proof of Delivery in the OptimoRoute Web Application.

Go to Administration→ Settings→ Proof of Delivery, and edit the options shown below.

  • The 3 functions – Notes, Signature, Photos – can be used for different order types: Delivery, Pickup, and Task.
  • You can also use the 3 functions for Failed Orders. 
  • Use the dropdown menus to enable or disable each function for each order type. 
  • Each time you choose Enabled, you can also make the function Required by selecting the checkbox. This way, the driver must collect this Proof of Delivery information before the order can be marked as complete.
