Do drivers have to open routes before tracking starts?

Yes. Require drivers to tap Start Delivery before updating stops so tracking begins at the official route start and overall drive time is captured accurately.

See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Driver Settings

Can I track driver performance?

Yes. Delivery Analytics reports completion rates, average delivery times, and success rates; filter by driver or date and export to CSV.

See: Analytics

What types of proof of delivery does EasyRoutes support?

EasyRoutes supports delivery photos, e‑signature, driver notes, and automatic timestamps (with GPS location when available) to provide a complete delivery record.

See: Proof of Delivery

What is the Activity Feed in EasyRoutes?

The Activity Feed is a real‑time, account‑wide log of route, stop, and driver events (e.g., dispatches, status changes, proof of delivery).
