Why app-based systems fail in the real world
Driver apps can work in controlled fleets. In mixed environments, they often don’t.
Subcontractors and temp drivers
You can’t enforce installs on partners who work for multiple clients.
Resistance to downloads
“Another app” means friction: permissions, logins, updates, and pushback.
Documents go missing
When the app isn’t used, proof ends up in the cab, in a photo roll, or not at all.
How Podfy works without an app
1. Send an upload link
Share a link via SMS, WhatsApp, or email. No setup on the driver side.
2. Upload documents or photos
Drivers upload PODs, CMRs, delivery notes, and photos directly in the browser.
3. Store and access instantly
Documents are stored centrally, searchable, and available for office staff and customers.

FAQ
Do drivers need to install an app or create an account?
No. Drivers use a simple browser link and can upload documents without installs, logins, or training. This makes Podfy reliable for subcontractors, temporary drivers, and mixed device environments. It also reduces rollout friction because you do not need to enforce app adoption.
Can the driver upload page be shown in 43 languages?
Yes. The upload experience can be displayed in multiple languages so drivers can work in the language they understand. This improves completion rates and reduces mistakes caused by unclear instructions.
Can we brand the upload flow in our own theme?
Yes. The upload flow can be branded so drivers and partners see your preferred look and feel. This builds trust and consistency when multiple parties upload documents.
How do we receive copies and access submitted documents?
A copy can be sent to your chosen email address and all submitted documents are accessible centrally in the Podfy delivery portal. This makes it easy for office staff to retrieve proof quickly without chasing drivers or searching through inboxes.
What types of documents can be uploaded besides POD?
Podfy supports PODs, delivery notes, CMRs, and photos. Photos are often used to document delivery condition, damage, packaging issues, or drop-off context.
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 records remain protected and accessible only to authorized users.
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 .
