What Is a Digital Proof of Delivery (POD) — and Why You Need One

Because losing money over a missing docket in the 21st century is just mad.

Let’s be real: if you're still running paper dockets, you’ve probably lost one or two (or ten) along the way.

Maybe it got left in the cab. Maybe it got soaked in the rain. Maybe the wind took it across the yard. Or maybe it just… vanished. Either way, you’re out of pocket—and someone else is getting paid while you’re chasing paperwork.

That’s where digital Proof of Delivery (POD) changes the game. It’s fast, simple, and makes sure you never lose another load—or another euro—again.

First things first: What is a digital POD?

A digital POD is an electronic record that shows:

• What you delivered

• Where it went

• When it arrived

• Who signed for it

All of that is logged through an app like Tipper360. Your driver finishes the job, grabs a quick signature on the screen, and the client gets the POD sent automatically.

No paper. No printer. No mess.

Why it matters — in real money terms

Every time a docket goes missing, you lose:

• The time it takes to call around

• The time the office spends looking for it

• The cash you can’t invoice until you’ve got proof

• The trust of the client who’s waiting on paperwork

And let’s not forget: in some cases, if you can’t prove the job was done, you might not get paid at all.

You’ve done the work. Burned the diesel. Paid the driver.
Why are you gambling your invoice on a scrap of paper?

How it works with Hub360

• Driver gets to site, starts the job in the app

• Job is tracked (timestamped and geo-tagged)

• When the load is dropped, they get a signature on-screen

• The client and office get the POD instantly

That’s it. No delay. No paper trail. No chance of it “falling through the cracks.”

Real benefits — not just buzzwords
