Mobile job execution
Your drivers are the face of your business on site. When they arrive with the wrong equipment, miss a stop, or cannot confirm what they delivered, it reflects on your entire operation.<br><br>The Renttix drivers app gives each driver a clear view of their assigned routes and jobs for the day. Delivery jobs, collection jobs, service visits, and ad-hoc tasks all appear in one list, sequenced in the order they should be completed.<br><br>Drivers update job status in real time as they work through their route — en route, arrived, in progress, completed. The office sees these updates as they happen, without phone calls, text messages, or radio check-ins. If a driver encounters a problem — no access to site, wrong contact, equipment not ready for collection — they can flag it immediately with notes and photos.<br><br>This real-time job execution replaces the paper-based workflows that most hire businesses still rely on. No more delivery notes scribbled on carbonless forms. No more end-of-day debriefs where drivers try to remember what happened at each stop. The information is captured at the point it happens, while it is still accurate.
Proof of delivery and collection
Disputes over deliveries and collections are one of the most common sources of conflict between rental companies and their customers. Did the generator arrive? Was it the right one? Who signed for it? Was it damaged when it was collected?<br><br>The drivers app captures proof at every stop. Signatures are collected on the device screen, linked to the specific job and stored against the order record. Photos document the condition of equipment at both delivery and collection — before and after — creating an indisputable visual record.<br><br>Geo-location is captured automatically at each stop, confirming that the driver was at the correct address when the job was completed. This GPS data, combined with timestamps, signatures, and photos, gives your business a complete, verifiable proof of delivery that stands up to any dispute.<br><br>All proof data syncs to the central system immediately when connectivity is available. Your office team can view delivery confirmations, signatures, and photos from their dashboard within moments of the job being completed. For customers who require proof of delivery documentation, this information can be shared directly without manual effort.
Route handling and optimization
A driver's day is a series of stops — deliveries, collections, service visits — that need to be completed in an order that makes geographic and operational sense.
The drivers app presents each day's route as an ordered list of stops, sequenced by the dispatch team for efficiency. Drivers can see the full route, the estimated time for each stop, and the items they need to deliver or collect at each location.
Navigation between stops is integrated, so drivers can launch directions to the next stop directly from the app without manually entering addresses. This is particularly valuable for construction sites and temporary locations where standard address lookup may not find the right entrance.
As the dispatch team makes changes during the day — adding a stop, removing a cancellation, reordering priorities — the route updates on the driver's device in real time. Drivers always see the current plan, not the plan from this morning.
Real-time updates flow back to the office as well. Completed stops, current location, and estimated arrival times give the operations team the visibility they need to manage customer expectations and respond to same-day requests. If a customer calls asking when their delivery will arrive, the office can give a precise answer based on actual driver progress.
