A sample day
Transport, delivery
Routes, vehicles, proof of delivery and driver hours are tracked from the depot to the invoice.
A day with Octyo
The moments Octyo helps, from opening to closing time.
- Time clock
Starting at the depot
Drivers clock in from their phones as they arrive. Location, set to the depot, is only read at the moment of clocking in: outside the zone, the clock-in is flagged.
- Deliveries & routes
Today’s routes
The dispatcher groups deliveries into routes, each with a vehicle and driver. The stop order is optimised around customers’ time slots, and the route sheet comes out as a PDF.
- Fleet & equipment
Logging the mileage
Before setting off, a driver records his van’s mileage on his phone. A reading lower than the last one would be refused, and the inspection deadline stays in view.
- Deliveries & routes
Proof of delivery
At the customer’s, the driver gets the slip signed on his phone, even with no signal. The delivery note in Invoicing switches to delivered, and the order becomes ready to invoice.
- Expenses
Refuelling on the road
The driver photographs his fuel receipt and picks his vehicle from the list. Once the expense report is approved, the cost is added to that vehicle in Fleet.
- Invoicing
Invoicing today’s deliveries
Back at the office, delivered orders are invoiced in a click. The invoices, numbered with no gaps or duplicates, go out to customers by email.
- Timesheets
Waiting time to invoice
Drivers log the waiting and handling time spent at each customer. Once approved, this billable time lands on the customer’s record, ready to invoice.
