Hikyaku vs Maxmove Digital POD

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.

Maxmove Digital POD records delivery proof electronically and attaches evidence to orders, including photos, recipient signatures, and GPS timestamps. Other supported proof formats include PDF delivery notes, age verification, barcode scans, and blockchain verification. Drivers can submit evidence through QR-code or SMS links from a device without downloading an app or creating an account. The native Maxmove driver app can capture proof automatically when a company fleet completes a delivery, and subcontractors can use the same app and process. Webhooks, a REST API, and SFTP export send structured proof to TMS, ERP, or customer portals. Uploads are timestamped, geofenced, and cryptographically hashed; retention policies are configurable. Completed orders can be billed as soon as proof is available after delivery. Digital POD is included in Maxmove TMS's free entry tier, with a 30-day evaluation of the complete fleet platform offered without a card. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with API access.
