Can I charge for idle time with this?

Yes. Arrival-to-pour timestamps create a defensible record aligned to your contract terms for waiting time charges.

How is water addition signed off?

Drivers record exact litres added and capture the authoriser’s digital signature on site. It’s stored in the job’s audit trail.

Can drivers take photos?

Yes—geo-tagged, time-stamped photos are attached to the job for conditions, access or test results.

Does it produce an ePOD?

Yes—electronic proof of delivery with idle-time, water, signatures and photos included.
