LogistiCarl POD vs SimplyDepo

LogistiCarl POD replaces paper proof of delivery with a digital workflow for delivery businesses. Office staff create jobs in a dashboard, monitor delivery state, and view completed proof records. Drivers complete jobs through a secure phone link without installing an app or creating an account. A completed POD can record workflow times, delivery and paperwork photos, recipient names, signatures, or safe-place details. GPS and time information are supported when the device provides them. Branded delivery notes can be viewed, printed, saved as PDF, or sent to customers. The maker says the workflow is designed for poor-signal areas and subcontractor work. Each completed delivery uses one credit; creating a job reserves a credit, which is used at completion or returned when cancelled. Plans include Starter at £19 a month with 10 credits, Professional at £29 a month with 25, and Growth at £49 a month with 65 and invoicing. A 7-day trial is available, with no free plan.

SimplyDepo combines field sales, order capture, routes, retail execution, and B2B ordering for brands and distributors. Sales representatives can create orders using customer-specific pricing, product catalogs, promotions, and account history. Store teams can run audits, use customizable forms, submit photo reports, assign tasks, and track shelf compliance. Drivers can manage deliveries, invoices, collections, returns, and route information in the mobile app. Reps can record orders, notes, photos, and visit data offline, with updates syncing when connectivity returns. A B2B portal lets customers use personalized catalogs and pricing to place orders at any time. SimplyDepo lists more than 100 integrations, including QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Stripe, Klaviyo, Acumatica, and ShipStation, and offers an Open API for custom integrations. The product is described as serving CPG brands, wholesale distributors, DSD operators, and merchandising teams. It is available on Android and iOS, with an API also listed as a platform. The SimplyAI Assistant add-on costs $19 a month per rep and is marked Beta. A 30-day trial is available, and there is no free plan.
