The courier may not have a higher education, but he is obliged to competently and competently express his thoughts.

4. Mobility

5. Decency

Delivery hours are strictly regulated. When ordering, people know exactly how long it should be delivered. Therefore, the courier must be as mobile and collected as possible.

6. Reliability

7. Personal approach to each client

The ability to select a delivery scheme, packaging and reporting that best suits the customer. According to this principle, a loyalty system for regular customers is also being built.

Courier services and companies that pay attention to the quality of delivery of their goods automate these processes, and the mobile application for couriers developed by Efficient Solutions is one of the best modern programs for this. Thanks to its use, it becomes possible to improve customer service and increase the level of trust, as well as gain maximum control over the performance of courier duties by staff. The application of the program is beneficial and convenient both for couriers who work with universal delivery services and for the companies themselves.

What is the mobile application "Courier Service" for?

The application serves to implement the following tasks:

• Automation of delivery processes.
• The ability to track the actions of the courier.
• Improving the reliability and quality of services.

Employees register in the system, after which they replenish their balance: the deposited amount is a deposit that serves to insure the transported goods against loss, intentional damage or theft. When visiting the company's office, the courier reports his identification number, and the accounting staff enters into the 1C database the amount by which the account was replenished. In the future, the amount is returned to the employee minus the commission if he uses the application, cooperating with a third-party delivery service.

The size of the available orders primarily depends on the size of the deposit: the courier will be able to find in the application only those tasks, the amount of goods of which does not exceed the amount of the deposited amount. After clicking on the phone number, the program allows you to dial the client's number. The application requires mandatory registration indicating passport data, user contacts and attaching a photo. On the personal page, the courier will be able to see information about himself, customer reviews, order history and other information.

Program functionality

At startup, the user goes through the registration procedure, which is confirmed by entering a code that is sent to the contact phone number; then the courier can read the agreement and fill out his profile. After that, he gets the opportunity to view the current orders registered in the system; in order for the application for couriers to allow you to take this or that order, you need to replenish the balance.

The personal profile contains basic information about the courier, contacts, a history of orders already completed, tasks taken into work are displayed, and customer reviews about the employee are published in the corresponding tab. Personal information can be edited at any time, so that all information will be reliable and up-to-date. To take this or that order, the courier will need to perform the following steps:

• Launch the application; if the program is already enabled, you must enter the menu and select the sub-item of orders.
• When the page with available delivery tasks opens, the user will be able to choose the one that suits the time, route and cost. The menu also provides a history of tasks already completed; when canceling an order, it will not be displayed.
• By selecting a new order, the courier has access to detailed information about the delivery location, time and cost. If on his balance there is an amount equivalent to the cost of the cargo, he selects the task and assigns it to himself. If necessary, before selecting a job, the courier dials the number of the recipient or sender to find out the details or ask a question. After accepting the task, the order receives the status "Current".

For the selected task, the courier gets the opportunity to see not only detailed information, but also a map where the route will be laid from the warehouse to the point of receipt of the goods. The navigator of the mobile application determines where the user is at the moment, building the route that is optimal in duration; also in the menu there are functions of a call to the client or the dispatcher. If it is necessary to cancel the order, the courier uses the appropriate option, indicating the reason for the refusal.

After leaving for the cargo, the user fixes this by clicking the "Confirm" button in the menu, and after the order is picked up, changes the status "Picked up" to "Left to the recipient": this allows the dispatcher to track the timely execution of the application. After the successful transfer of the goods, the user confirms the completion of the order, 15% of the commission for using the program is deducted from the account, the deposit is returned and payment is made in the accounting department of the company with which the employee works.

The application for couriers allows you to independently change the password for your personal page, phone (for the latter you need confirmation by code). The relevant sections contain information about the rules for working with the program, account status and other information necessary for it.

What does the mobile application for couriers give?

The advantages of this program include a large number of points, the main of which are the following qualities:

• Convenient interface. The program has an attractive, but not bulky design, making it easy to figure out how to use the application. Users, both dispatchers and couriers themselves, will not need special training before implementing this software, since the interface is visually clear even without studying the instructions in detail.
• Compatible with all mobile devices. The application for couriers on Android works: it can be run on any equipment where this operating system is installed at least version 4. Similarly, the application works on devices with iOS 7.x and higher installed. Using it is equally convenient both from a smartphone and a tablet or laptop: adaptive design and competent layout allow you to display the full version.
• performance. Thanks to a competent code and careful debugging, the program takes up a minimum of RAM, the download speed, including maps with routes, will be very high, which is important for prompt delivery. The performance is minimally dependent on the version of the operating system: only on devices with Android 4.1.x, the application can work with minor delays.
• Wide range of applications. The program is convenient both for large companies that have their own courier staff, and services that specialize in providing delivery services and work as a partner with stores, intermediaries, etc. Using the software is also convenient for the couriers themselves, who register in the system and can always know exactly about their load for the day.
• Ability to control delivery processes. On the part of the company recruiting couriers in the state, the convenience is expressed in the fact that the dispatcher at any time receives data on the location of the cargo, the courier, receives a notification about the cancellation of the order at the request of the end client or the employee delivering the goods. It is convenient for the courier to always know how many orders he took to work, distribute working hours and independently build routes, guided by the application navigator.
• Improving the quality of work. By making a deposit, a company selling goods can form a team of the best delivery specialists, get rid of unscrupulous employees, which will have a positive impact on the level of service. For each courier, the recipient client or the company with which he works can leave a positive or negative review: a good reputation of an employee allows you to further reduce the commission for using the program and receive better orders with a high degree of responsibility.
• Increasing trust among customers. With the introduction of the Courier Service mobile application, customers will fulfill orders just in time, delivering goods safe and sound, which will affect the reputation of the seller and strengthen his position in the market.
• Minimization of costs and risks. Thanks to the deposit, the goods are protected from loss due to the fault of the courier, damage, and theft. The store will be able to entrust the employee with the delivery of even very valuable goods without worrying about possible losses: their compensation lies entirely with the courier and is carried out through the mandatory transfer of a security deposit.

Setting up on the side of the online store

Access rights

The mobile app uses the standard ReadyScript "External API" module to interact with your online store directly. Make sure this module is enabled and has an API key set. This API key will need to be specified in the authorization activity of the mobile application.

If the delivery of goods in your online store is carried out by couriers, then you need to create a group whose users will be perceived by the system as couriers. To do this, go to the section Management → Users → Groups, create a group with a name like couriers. Specify Alias, Title, Description. Permissions should not be set. Save the change. Next, go to the section Website → Plugins setup → Store and specify the created group in the field Group whose users are considered couriers tab Main.

Create courier users, in the section Management → Users → Accounts, assign these users the created group for couriers. After these actions, ReadyScript will display courier users on the order editing page in the section Shipping → Courier. Accordingly, the mobile application will also perceive user data as couriers and provide them with appropriate opportunities.

Login to the application will be possible for users who are members of the groups specified in the section Website → Module settings → Mobile application for Administrator or Courier option User groups for which this application is available(Default value: Administrators and Supervisors). Allow the Couriers group to enter the application, if you have one.

Push Notifications

Sending Push notifications is possible only if you have an installed and valid license key in your online store. To send Push notifications about the creation/assignment of an order, the "Push notifications" module must be enabled.

When authorizing in a mobile application, the mobile application sends a special key of the mobile device ("push-token") to your store, with the help of which further notifications are sent to this user. You can view the list of users registered to receive push notifications in the section Website → Plugin Setup → View push tokens

How to install a mobile application on Android?

Paying for orders through the ReadyScript mobile app

The ReadyScript mobile app supports two types of payment most requested by couriers:

• Cash payment
• Payment via 2can service

The administrator or courier has the right to change the method of payment for the order through the mobile application.

In the case of cash payment, the ReadyScript mobile application allows the courier to click on the "Pay" button, the order in this case will be marked as paid. The courier cannot cancel the payment.

The case of payment through the 2can service is discussed below.

If the buyer, when placing an order, chose a payment method other than those listed above, then the "Pay" button in the mobile application will be inactive.

Setting up interaction with the 2can.ru service

The ReadyScript mobile application allows you to pay for orders using Visa / Mastercard plastic cards immediately at the time of delivery of goods to the client using a special mobile terminal for plastic cards. This is achieved through integration with the "2can.ru" service.

Setting up integration with the 2can service is as easy as shelling pears. Become a client of the 2can.ru service, purchase a mobile payment terminal. Install the official mobile application "2can mPOS" from Google Play.

Insert the card reader(mobile terminal) into the headphone jack of your phone, launch the 2can mPOS mobile app. Follow the instructions on the screen to initialize the mobile terminal.

Installing the 2can app

Add a new payment method in the administrative panel of the online store in the section Shop → Payment methods with the name "Payment by plastic card to the courier" and the settlement class "Payment through the 2can service". In this case, users will be able to choose this payment method when placing an order on the site. The courier, having arrived at the client, will be able to click on the "Pay" button in the "View order" activity of the mobile application. A window will open in which you will need to enter a pin code from the "2can mPOS" application, after which the "2can mPOS" application will open, in which the order amount and payment purpose will already be filled.

Payment via 2can app

Immediately after a successful payment, you will return to the ReadyScript mobile application, in which you will see the new order status and the payment flag.

Android applications for couriers are used to organize the work of couriers, search for orders, routes. Courier apps are available on Google Play.

With the advent of modern technologies, the courier profession has changed a lot - where until recently you had to contact dispatchers and spend hours finding out the details of current orders, finally, special applications have appeared that eliminate the need to even contact customers.

There is also no need for official employment (from now on, everyone is able to earn extra money in their free time, the main thing is to demonstrate the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and set up an account) and even special training (instructions are issued in text format, and streets are recognized using a navigator).

It remains to deal with the only parameter - the choice of three irreplaceable courier assistants:

Work as a courier from Dostavista

The service for couriers has been known for a long time - the developers offer to earn money by delivering documents and parcels on foot, by car or by truck. Anyone can take a vacant position, you just have to agree on an informal interview and indicate how orders are processed - in a full-time format or in combination with other employment.

It is easy to work with Dostavista - after the account is activated, to receive an order, it is enough to change the status from "Inactive" to "Ready to work", and then right on the main screen a list of current offers with the price, approximate opening hours, and the address where you have to receive the parcel, and the place where you need to deliver.

Then it remains to agree to the implementation and get down to business. After completing the order, the money is transferred to the balance, and then withdrawn to the card or in cash at Dostavista branches. And, as the developers suggest, with full employment, the chances of reaching a salary of 50 thousand rubles are quite high, you just have to be active.

2GIS

Remembering the surroundings of even a native and compact settlement is another problem. The names of streets, the numbers of houses are always changing. And if skyscrapers on the outskirts are also growing, then the search for the right address can be very delayed.

And therefore, among the working tool of each courier, there must be 2GIS - a multifunctional navigator capable of both showing the route for those who travel on foot and by public transport, and those who are used to cars. And, although formally the functionality of 2GIS repeats well-known services from Yandex and even Google, there were also differences.

2GIS is full of information about enterprises (working hours, phone numbers, geographical location), search is available by the name of organizations and the names of individual enterprises. And most importantly - it's easy to find the location of the entrance! And, therefore, you do not have to go around the house three times and try to find the entrance!

Any.do

Task lists for Android, calendar, reminders - even a professional courier with ten years of experience is not able to keep a bunch of versatile information in his head. Beginners will not cope with such a task. And why, when you can keep an electronic diary at hand, in which information about upcoming orders, deliveries and plans for the next month is recorded in two accounts.

Any.do makes it easy to plan a budget, think over a plan of enrichment, and even options for possible employment - for example, 3 hours a day, 2 times a week.

The diary is available for free, and is distributed both on mobile platforms and in the browser. And this is a lot of pluses. It is easier to enter information from the keyboard, and from a smartphone and tablet it is easier to follow the information and make adjustments. A real working symbiosis, not otherwise!
