Shred drivers work in basements, records rooms, hospital loading docks and rural roads. Those are exactly the places phones lose signal. A driver app that needs a connection to save a stop will fail on your hardest stops, and the driver will go back to paper.
What 'works offline' should really mean
- The app opens with no signal, not just the current screen
- Every stop, signature and photo is saved on the phone the moment it's recorded
- Saved work sends itself when signal returns, without the driver doing anything
- A retry never creates a duplicate stop or certificate
- The driver can always see what's waiting to send
Built for the job
- Big buttons you can hit with work gloves on
- High-contrast screens that are readable in direct sun
- Almost no typing: tap container counts, sign, done
- Arrive and depart times recorded automatically
- Not-serviced reasons with an optional photo, which end 'you missed my bin' disputes
- Gate and door codes shown only for that day's stops
App store or web app?
An installable web app (also called a progressive web app) is added to the home screen from the browser. Drivers can start in minutes without an app store account, updates arrive on their own, and it works on the iPhone or Android phones they already have.
How Trakro does it
Trakro's driver app installs from the browser on any iPhone or Android. A normal stop takes six taps or fewer. It works fully offline, saves each record on the phone first, and sends everything when signal returns, with no duplicates. When you remove a driver, their phone signs out and erases its saved stops and gate codes the next time it connects.
