What is white glove delivery software?

White glove delivery software supports premium final-mile service: two-person crews, placement or light assembly, damage prevention documentation, and high-touch customer communication.

Operator takeaway

White glove is choreography, not just delivery. The differentiator is consistency: the same crew quality, the same placement standard, and the same photo documentation on every premium stop. Software should enforce the service level, not leave it to memory.

In practice

  1. Tag stops with white glove service level
  2. Assign trained two-person crews
  3. Send premium branded notifications
  4. Capture detailed POD and placement photos
  5. Log damage claims with evidence
  6. Review service-level performance weekly

Operational example

A premium furniture carrier documents room placement with photos for every white glove stop, reducing claim resolution time.
