3. Driver Pro: Live GPS Tracking & Route Audits
Driver Pro 🚀With the Driver Pro upgrade, water suppliers can eliminate delivery disputes and track van/auto locations in real time:
View your driver's real-time location, vehicle moving speed, and battery percentage live on Google Maps.
Every jar drop records an audit trail showing exactly which driver delivered to which customer with GPS timestamp verification.
