Update as
of APRIL 2024:
Introducing a new feature in the system: route comparison. To use this, all
you need is to have version 4.6.0 of the driver app installed. The system will
then compare your planned route with the actual one you take, displaying it even if the manifest has not yet been
completed. This feature is designed to make your deliveries more efficient and
allow dispatchers to track your progress better. They can make any necessary
adjustments to the route in real-time, ensuring your deliveries are on track.
