What is proof of delivery software?

Proof of delivery (POD) software lets drivers document completed deliveries with photos, signatures, notes, and exception codes—giving dispatch, customer service, and billing a single record of what happened at the door.

In practice

  1. Driver opens stop in the mobile app
  2. Capture photo of item placement or installation
  3. Collect customer signature when required
  4. Record exception codes for failed or partial delivery
  5. Sync status to dispatch in real time
  6. Export or reference POD for customer disputes

Operational example

A building materials dealer requires photo POD for every jobsite drop; Patcho attaches images to the stop so customer service resolves disputes in minutes instead of calling drivers.
