Action types
OpenMove is Transportial's native mobile app for drivers. It puts the full trip plan in the driver's pocket, guides them step by step through every action, captures proof of delivery, and keeps the operations centre informed of every move, all without radio calls or paper.
Key highlights
- Full trip plan on device: Drivers receive their full trip assignment (route, stops, cargo details, customer instructions, and time windows) directly on their phone or tablet.
- Step-by-step guidance: The app guides the driver through every action: load, unload, stop, customs clearance, weighing, fuelling, and more.
- Proof of delivery (ePOD): Capture digital proof of delivery with photos and customer signatures at the point of delivery. Documents are instantly attached to the transport order.
- Live GPS location: The driver's location is broadcast back to the operations centre in real time, powering the Watchtower tracking board and customer-facing tracking links.
- In-app chat: Drivers can communicate directly with dispatchers via in-app chat. No personal phone numbers needed, and all messages are logged against the trip.
- Push notifications: Drivers are instantly notified of new trip assignments, changes to existing plans, and urgent messages from the dispatcher.
- Offline capable: Core trip functionality works even when connectivity is poor or unavailable, syncing back to the server when the connection is restored.
How it works
Trip lands on the phone
The moment a dispatcher assigns a trip, the driver gets a push notification with the full plan: stops, time windows, cargo details, and customer instructions. No printouts, no reading addresses over the phone.
Guided stop by stop
The app walks the driver through each action in order — load, unload, customs clearance, weighing, refuelling. The driver always knows what is next and what is expected at the current stop.
Reality gets recorded
Breaks, waiting time, and unplanned events are added from the app as they happen. Each action is confirmed as done, partly done, or not possible, with remarks — so exceptions are captured at the kerb, not reconstructed days later.
Proof of delivery on the spot
At delivery, the driver captures photos and a customer signature. The ePOD is attached to the transport order instantly, so the office can invoice the moment the wheels start turning again.
Office stays in sync
Location broadcasts feed the Watchtower and customer tracking links, and in-app chat keeps the conversation with dispatch tied to the trip. When connectivity drops, the app keeps working and syncs once the network returns.
From radio calls and paper to a guided workflow
The execution gap is where transport operations lose most of their data: the plan lives in the office, but reality happens in the cab. When drivers work from printed trip sheets and phone calls, every deviation — a closed dock, a partial unload, an extra pallet — exists only in someone's memory until it is typed in after the fact, if it ever is.
OpenMove closes that gap by making the driver's phone the execution interface. Each action on the trip is presented in sequence with the information the driver needs at that moment: address, time window, cargo lines, handling instructions, reference codes. Confirming an action takes one tap; deviations take one tap more. The transport order in the office reflects the street within seconds.
The practical effect is fewer calls in both directions. Drivers stop calling to ask what is next; dispatchers stop calling to ask where things stand. Both sides read the same live state.
ePOD: invoice the same day, dispute with evidence
A signed CMR sitting in a truck cabin for a week is working capital sitting still. Until the proof of delivery reaches the office, the order cannot be invoiced, and when a customer disputes a delivery months later, finding the right piece of paper becomes an archaeology project.
With OpenMove, photos and signatures are captured at the point of delivery and attached to the transport order immediately. Invoicing can start the same day, and every delivery carries timestamped, geo-located evidence. Damage claims and "we never received it" conversations change character entirely when the photo, the signature, and the GPS position are one click away.
Built for patchy networks
Loading docks, underground terminals, and rural motorways are exactly where connectivity fails and exactly where drivers need the app most. An app that blocks on a spinner at the dock gets abandoned within a week, and the operation slides back to phone calls.
OpenMove keeps core trip functionality available offline: the driver can view stops, confirm actions, and capture proof of delivery without a connection. Everything queues locally and syncs to the platform when the network returns, with the office seeing the actual timestamps of when events happened.
Technical details
OpenMove is built with Flutter for native performance on both iOS and Android. Location updates are sent over a persistent WebSocket connection backed by Socket.IO. Push notifications are delivered via Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Frequently asked questions
Which devices does the OpenMove driver app run on?
OpenMove is a native mobile app for both iOS and Android, built with Flutter. Drivers can use their own phones or company devices — there is no dedicated hardware requirement.
Does the driver app work without an internet connection?
Yes. Core trip functionality — viewing stops, confirming actions, capturing proof of delivery — works offline. Data queues on the device and syncs back to the platform automatically when connectivity returns.
How does proof of delivery work?
At the delivery stop the driver captures photos and a customer signature in the app. The ePOD is attached to the transport order instantly, so the office can see it, share it with the customer, and start invoicing right away.
What happens when a delivery cannot be completed?
The driver marks the action as partly done or not able to do, adds remarks, and the status flows straight into the transport order. Dispatch sees the exception in real time and can replan or inform the customer immediately.
Can drivers record breaks, refuelling, and customs stops?
Yes. Beyond loading and unloading, drivers can add breaks, refuelling, weighing, and customs actions to the journey as they happen, so the recorded trip matches what actually occurred on the road.
How do drivers communicate with the office?
Through in-app chat that is threaded per trip. Messages are logged against the trip, support read receipts, and reach the dispatcher without anyone exchanging personal phone numbers.
