Hikyaku vs InfoTech Proof of Delivery App

Hikyaku is an open-source logistics operating system for delivery and courier teams, covering dispatch, package tracking, fleet coordination, warehouse operations and route planning. Dispatchers can assign parcels manually or plan around delivery windows, then send routes to the driver app. The dispatch view shows driver locations and delivery statuses live; recipients can follow a parcel on a public page without an account. Drivers can scan packages, navigate routes and record photos or signatures. Delivery photos appear in the dashboard and recipient page. Fleet tools include vehicle capacity and skills, maintenance records, and limits for working time, driving time, distance and stops. Hikyaku supports permission-aware access and two-factor authentication. It can run in the cloud or on an operator’s own infrastructure. It also connects n8n workflows through OAuth, moving orders, status changes and proof-of-delivery events between systems. The free self-hosted plan is free; a cloud trial is offered to enterprises, with no price stated. Hikyaku is available on Android, web, through its API and as self-hosted software.

InfoTech Proof of Delivery App records delivery and collection details from a phone or tablet, including customer signatures, photos, and job notes. It saves information locally when offline and syncs it after connectivity returns. Each signature is stored with a timestamp, and GPS coordinates are attached to the proof of delivery. Drivers can photograph loads, damage, or delivery locations, with the images kept on the job record. When a job is completed, the app can email the customer a PDF proof of delivery. Office staff can check real-time status for completed, outstanding, and failed deliveries. The app connects with InfoTech weighbridge software and its Cloud ERP platform; POD can also be linked to weighbridge tickets. If billing integration is active, a delivery can trigger an invoice. The app is free, but use requires InfoTech weighbridge software version 3 or later and a purchased POD licence. InfoTech lists use in skip hire, waste collection, haulage, aggregate delivery, construction, and fuel delivery.
