Mobile App

Improved delivery scanning workflow 4652

There’s a new streamlined barcode scanning workflow for drivers when scanning items on runs, which applies when your account has the ‘mandatory scanning’ setting enabled.

This improved workflow includes:

  • Optionally allowing a whole stop to be marked as failed from the stop screen, without having to log events against all items.
  • Removed the need to click ‘Finish Scanning’ after successfully scanning all items.
  • The ability to tap on a row in the ‘Scan Items’ screen to log an event against the item without scanning it.
  • A new option to allow non-scanned items to be marked as ‘Delivered OK’.
  • A new option to allow all non-scanned items to be actioned together.
