PODStar
PODStar is TouchStar’s electronic proof-of-delivery software for parcel, general logistics and other delivery operations.
What PODStar is
PODStar is TouchStar’s electronic proof-of-delivery software for parcel, general logistics and other delivery operations. Drivers use Android smartphones or rugged devices to record signatures, photos, barcode scans and delivery data. The records can be attached to client accounts and form an audit trail with geolocation evidence to help investigate disputes. Delivery status is real-time, and drivers can continue working offline until data can sync again.
The software also supports job scheduling, route planning, vehicle and driver tracking, inspections, invoicing and driver administration. A customer portal lets users view orders, delivery status and proof of delivery. PODStar is delivered as SaaS over the internet using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. It can connect to ERP, warehouse, transport management and accounting systems through middleware or API integration. TouchStar lists a published API, integration guidance and personal support. The product is aimed at operations including food, construction, healthcare and third-party logistics. Pricing is available on request; no price is published.
