Logistics companies, including 3PL, enjoy having easy resource management and dispatching. Delivery software provided by OnTime 360 can help these businesses manage shipments across many drivers. Here are just some of the features OnTime provides to in-house couriers at logistics companies:
Vehicle Management
Vehicle management, including maintenance tracking and vehicle capability recommendations.
Allow OnTime delivery software to track your vehicles and their required maintenance. When a scheduled mileage or date is reached, you are notified that a particular vehicle is in need of maintenance.

Our online
support tools and resources are always available. Our team of in-house experts is just a call or email away. We make it easy to get fast and effective answers to your questions.
Dimensional Weight
Generate dimensional weight factors and use those in your pricing.
Dim weight is a necessary calculation in most courier businesses and OnTime helps automate that process by allowing you to generate dim weight factors not just once, but for as many situations as you need them in.
Order Entry
Comprehensive order entry tools.
Every customer has unique needs, including collection/delivery points, pricing, notifications, and options. With OnTime delivery software, managerial users may set up a customer one time with all of their specific needs. Afterwards, when a dispatcher starts to type in the customer's name, auto complete will suggest a matching customer. When the dispatcher selects a customer, the customer’s profile will load and all unique requirements will be set. Your dispatchers will be better informed and able to offer a higher level of service to customers.
Tracking and Tracing
Locate, view, and edit information about a package or shipment from a common interface.
Fast access to the details of any order is important to your team. This window offers that access and takes the guess work out of making changes. For instance, if a customer calls to requests a change in service, how long does it currently take to calculate the difference in price, notify the drivers, and send out notification updates? With OnTime tracking and tracing, this process is handled with a click of your mouse; the rest is taken care of automatically.
Auto-Complete Data Entry
Start typing and automatically see and select the suggested records.
OnTime significantly streamlines data entry by suggesting customers and locations as you type. This feature offers minimal reliance on the mouse and allows an order to be entered and dispatched within 15 seconds.
Support for Smartphones
Tested support and apps for Apple iPhone, Google Android, and more mobile devices.
Modern smartphones offer the compelling ability to handle many business related tasks from a single mobile device. OnTime Mobile Web offers an experience optimized for drivers using the Apple iPhone, Google Android devices, and many more.
Barcode Scanning
Process barcodes with or without a scanner.
OnTime Mobile allows you to key in the barcode or scan it with a barcode scanner or camera. OnTime then lists all matching shipments. Shipments assigned to the driver will be located. OnTime courier software will also access the server and find all matching shipments. A list of matching orders, along with the details of each order, will be accessible right from the mobile device.
GPS
Track driver location with a global positioning device.
OnTime Mobile supports GPS tracking with GPS enabled devices (Windows Mobile, iPhone, BlackBerry, Android). When enabled, OnTime’s GPS connectivity will transmit the driver's position to dispatch throughout the day.
Extensible Platform for Site Integration
API made available as a comprehensive set of REST based and SOAP based XML web services built on open standards.
OnTime is a scalable platform that will grow in all directions with your business. The OnTime API allows an OnTime account to be connected with other software systems. The API can be used to create, update, and track orders in real-time.

You may create additional fields that specifically address the needs of your business. These fields will appear to all of your users and customers across OnTime.
Shipping Label and Other Reports

Customers may print out their own shipping labels, waybills, and bills of lading. Your customers will be able to view information quickly, without contacting your company directly. Digital Waybill and Bill of Lading reports are available in a variety of formats. Additionally, customers can print out shipping labels, along with barcodes, to affix to their shipments before your driver arrives.
