The driver station
Drive a day's run from a phone: the next stop, navigation and the outcome at each door, with or without signal.
Updated 23 September 2026
- Why
- A driver at a door needs one thing at a time, and the record of it must not depend on signal.
- What
- The driver station at
/app/route/driveshows today's run for the van, the Next stop as a large card and the stops below it. - How
- Every action is saved on the phone first and sent when the network is there, stamped with the time it happened.
Two ways in
| Who | How |
|---|---|
| A van's phone | A station in the Route area, created in Settings then Organisation under Stations, signs in at /station with its device key and lands here. It shows the run of the van it is bound to. Binding a station to a van is not on the screens yet: ask through Getting help. |
| A colleague who drives | A member given the Driver template opens the van from Stations in their own menu, under their own sign in, and sees the run they are named driver on. |
At each stop
- Step 1.
Read the card: customer, address, window, what is On this stop and the Instructions. Google Maps, Waze and Call are one tap.
- Step 2.
Choose Delivered: ask them to sign, enter the Printed name and Add a photograph if useful.
- Step 3.
Or Collected for goods coming back, or Failed with a Reason (closed, refused, no access, damaged, wrong address, not ready, vehicle, other) and a note.
- Step 4.
When every stop is done, choose Close the run and enter the odometer and the minutes on the road.
Offline
The bar shows Offline and how many actions are waiting to send; nothing blocks. Photographs wait on the phone up to 25 MB, above which the driver is asked to get back on the network before taking more.
A driver never sees a price, a cost rate or a customer's terms: those columns are not sent to the station at all.
