The 3PL document challenge
Managing proof of delivery across many carriers creates daily operational friction.
Inconsistent POD formats
Photos, PDFs, scans and emails arrive without structure.
Time lost chasing documents
Operations and customer service spend time following up instead of managing freight.
Impact on billing & service
Late PODs delay invoicing and weaken customer communication.

FAQ
Do carriers or subcontractors need to install an app?
No. Podfy works through a simple browser link sent via SMS, WhatsApp, or email. Carriers and subcontractors can upload PODs and documents without installing an app, creating an account, or receiving training. This makes it easier to work with many partners without onboarding friction.
How does Podfy help a 3PL working with multiple carriers?
Podfy standardizes proof of delivery collection across carriers using one consistent upload flow. This reduces time spent chasing documents and avoids differences between carrier processes. Your team gets a single place to retrieve delivery proof for customers and internal stakeholders.
What documents can partners upload?
Partners can upload PODs, CMRs, delivery notes, packing slips, and photos. Photos are often used to document delivery condition, damage, or drop-off context. Keeping all proof together helps customer service, billing, and claims handling.
Can Podfy be used alongside our TMS or existing workflows?
Yes. Podfy is designed to complement existing systems and workflows. It focuses on collecting and storing delivery documents without replacing your TMS, and it does not require a heavy implementation or long onboarding process.
How does Podfy handle security and GDPR?
Podfy is designed with GDPR compliance in mind. Documents are stored securely and access is controlled by your organization, ensuring delivery proof is available only to authorized users.
Is Podfy useful for audits, disputes, and customer escalations?
Yes. Podfy keeps delivery proof centralized and searchable. When a customer escalates an issue or an audit requires evidence, your team can retrieve documents quickly without searching across inboxes, shared drives, or carrier portals.
What is proof of delivery (POD)?
Proof of delivery (POD) is the evidence that a delivery was completed and received. It can include documents, signatures, photos, timestamps, and references that confirm what was delivered, where, and when. For a full explanation of proof of delivery and how modern teams handle it, see the Proof of Delivery overview .
How does modern proof of delivery work without apps?
Modern proof of delivery does not rely on drivers installing apps or creating accounts. Instead, teams use simple browser links to collect delivery documents and photos from drivers, suppliers, or inbound staff. This reduces friction and improves completion rates. A detailed comparison of legacy and modern POD approaches is available on the Proof of Delivery page .
