Enable your drivers with mobile navigation apps
For courier drivers, GPS navigation apps have proven effective in finding stress-free and efficient routes to complete their deliveries.
While the majority of courier drivers plan their routes using their own local knowledge, smart navigation software comes in very handy if there are unforeseen traffic issues or road construction in areas that you are less familiar with.
A road atlas, which has likely been rattling around in a glove box for many years, is out of date the day it was printed compared to working out a route using a GPS-based navigation app, which is current and reactive to traffic conditions at the time.
