What it is
PODStar is TouchStar’s electronic proof-of-delivery software for parcel, logistics and multi-sector delivery operations. Drivers use Android smartphones or rugged devices to capture signatures, photos, barcode scans, geolocation and delivery data in real time. These records create an audit trail, attach to client records and support dispute investigation. Drivers can continue offline, with data synchronizing when connectivity returns. Operations features include job scheduling, route planning, driver and vehicle tracking, vehicle inspections, invoicing and driver administration. Customers can use a self-service portal for orders, proof and delivery status. The SaaS service runs over the internet on Microsoft Azure, without local installation or hardware maintenance. Integrations connect ERP, warehouse, transport-management and accounting systems through middleware or a published API. TouchStar lists implementation, training, go-live support, a 24/7 UK helpdesk and hardware support. Pricing is by quote; no public plan limits are stated.
