The information problem

Dispatchers spend too much time chasing information.

Transportation teams lose hours every day asking drivers for updates, documents, arrival times, delivery confirmation, and paperwork. The issue is not visibility. The issue is collecting accurate information from the field.

Before: Asking For Information
Driver calls
Text messages
Missing PODs
Email attachments
Check calls
Manual updates
After: Information Captured at the Source
Driver App, then Salesforce record updated automatically

Most transportation teams do not have a visibility problem. They have an information collection problem.

Dispatchers spend their day asking: has the driver arrived, has pickup happened, do we have the POD, did detention occur, has delivery happened, where is the paperwork. The Driver App eliminates that bottleneck by capturing the event directly from the field.

How information moves

Information enters the operation where it happens.

Every driver action updates the same Salesforce load record used by dispatch, customer service, management, and finance. Nothing waits for someone to type it in later.

Driver arrives
Location confirms the stop in the app
Arrival timestamp captured
Logged on the load record automatically
Status updates Dispatch Console
Visible to the whole team immediately
Customer visibility updated
Portal reflects the same record, no delay
POD uploaded
Attached directly to the load record
Invoice readiness updated
Finance picks up where the driver left off

This is the same chain shown on the Dispatch Console page. The Driver App is where it starts.

What drivers capture

Six capabilities. One field-to-record path.

Each capability writes to the same load record dispatch, customer service, and finance are already looking at.

A
Arrival & Departure Events

The clock starts and stops on its own, not when someone remembers to call it in.

Arrival and departure timestamps logged automatically
Location validation confirms the driver is at the stop
Full stop activity history on the load record
B
POD Capture

The signed proof of delivery is in Salesforce before the truck leaves the dock.

Signed POD and delivery photos uploaded from the field
Delivery confirmation attached to the load automatically
No separate document inbox to check
POD ActivityAuto-attached

C
Electronic Signatures

A signature captured on the phone is the same legal record as one on paper.

Customer and driver signatures captured on mobile
Signature image attached to the delivery record
Full audit trail of who signed and when
D
Exception Reporting

Problems get reported from the cab, not discovered at the next check call.

Delays and detention reported directly from the field
Damaged freight flagged with photos attached
In-transit issues visible to dispatch immediately

E
Driver Communication

Instructions reach the driver without a phone call interrupting either side.

Dispatch instructions delivered directly in the app
Route and stop updates pushed without a call
Fewer phone calls between dispatch and drivers
F
Location & Status Updates

The load’s status reflects what is actually happening, updated as it happens.

In transit, arrived, and delivered states updated live
Exception events post the moment they occur
Same status feeds Dispatch Console and the customer portal
Location visibility

Driver Location Requests Without ELD Access

Need a location update from a driver but don’t have access to the carrier’s ELD system? FTM can request a driver’s current location and return it directly to transportation workflows.

Send Request
Dispatcher requests from FTM
Driver Shares Location
From a text link, no app required
Location Returned to FTM
Visible on the load record
No ELD Access Required
Get a location update even when you do not have visibility into the carrier’s telematics system.
No App Installation Required
The driver shares location directly from their mobile browser. Nothing to download or set up.
Works With External Carriers
Request a location from any driver, regardless of which carrier or systems they operate on.
Supports Owner Operators
Works the same way whether the driver is company-employed or an independent owner-operator.
Improves Shipment Visibility
Fill visibility gaps on loads where standard tracking is not available or not connected.
Reduces Check Calls
Get a current location without picking up the phone or waiting on a callback.

Freight Brokers Shippers 3PLs Teams Working With External Carriers Loads Without Telematics Visibility

Many brokers and shippers do not have direct access to carrier ELD or telematics systems. FTM provides another visibility option when location updates are needed.

How it connects

The Driver App feeds the Dispatch Console.

Information captured by drivers becomes operational intelligence for the rest of the company. The Driver App is not a separate product. It is the entry point.

Driver App
Events captured in the field
Dispatch Console
Operational view, updated live
Customer Portal
Visibility without a phone call
Billing & Reporting
Invoice-ready, no re-entry

This is the same load record described on the Platform and Dispatch Console pages. The Driver App is how that record gets its first real data, not a separate system someone has to reconcile against it later.

Built for the whole team

One driver action. Company-wide impact.

Drivers capture the data once. Everyone downstream gets value from the same capture, not a separate report.

Dispatch
Fewer check calls.
Operations
Faster issue visibility.
Customer Service
Better customer updates.
Finance
Faster POD-to-invoice cycle.
Executives
Visibility without manual reporting.
Why architecture matters

Why the Driver App works better on Salesforce.

A driver app bolted onto a TMS has to sync its data somewhere. A driver app built on Salesforce writes directly to the record everyone else is already using.

Capability
Traditional Driver App
FTM Driver App
Data destination
A separate vendor database
Writes directly to the Salesforce load record
Status updates
Synced into the TMS on a delay
Live on the same record dispatch is viewing
Document management
Stored in the app vendor’s own system
Attached directly to the load record
Customer visibility
Requires a separate sync to the portal
Customer portal reads the same record, no sync
Workflow automation
Vendor-controlled rules
Salesforce Flow, configured by your admin
Reporting
A separate dashboard for driver activity
Native Salesforce dashboards, same data as ops
AI readiness
Field data disconnected from the rest of the operation
Einstein AI runs on the same structured freight data
All information lands directly inside Salesforce. No synchronization layer, no duplicate records, no disconnected systems between what the driver captures and what the rest of the company sees.
What better field data creates

What better field data creates.

These are the operational shifts teams report after putting driver capture directly into Salesforce, not promises about specific numbers your operation will see.

Fewer check calls
Status arrives on the load record instead of through a phone call to the cab.
Faster document collection
PODs and signatures attach to the load before the truck leaves the dock.
Faster invoicing
The load is invoice-ready as soon as the POD lands on the record.
Better customer communication
Customers see real status instead of waiting on a callback from dispatch.
Earlier exception visibility
Detention and delays surface from the field, not at the next status check.
More accurate operational reporting
Reports reflect what actually happened in the field, not what got typed in later.
The driver experience

Five screens. One continuous record.

Every screen the driver touches writes to the same load. Nothing here is a separate app waiting to be reconciled.

Implementation

Deploy without rebuilding your operation.

The Driver App works with how your drivers already operate. It does not require a new process before it can add value.

Because the Driver App writes to the same Salesforce record as Dispatch Console, rollout is configuration, not a new integration project. Drivers start capturing data on day one.
Driver App FAQ

Questions teams ask before rolling out.

For questions specific to your fleet, a transportation specialist can walk through your use case.

Can brokers use the Driver App?
+
Yes. Brokers managing owner-operators or contracted capacity can use the Driver App for the same arrival, POD, and exception capture as asset-based carriers. The load record works the same way regardless of who owns the equipment.
Does it work for company drivers and owner operators?
+
Yes. The Driver App supports both company drivers and owner-operators. Access and permissions are configured per driver type inside Salesforce.
Can drivers upload PODs and documents?
+
Yes. Drivers upload PODs, photos, and other delivery documents directly from the app. Documents attach to the load record automatically, with no separate upload step for dispatch or finance.
Does it support electronic signatures?
+
Yes. Customer and driver signatures are captured on mobile at delivery, with a full audit trail attached to the load record.
How does it connect to Dispatch Console?
+
The Driver App and Dispatch Console read and write the same Salesforce load record. Every arrival, POD, signature, or exception captured by a driver appears on the console immediately, with no sync delay.
Is Salesforce required?
+
FTM includes Salesforce Enterprise licensing, so you do not need an existing Salesforce subscription. If your organization already uses Salesforce, the Driver App runs in the same org alongside your other data.
