About this app

Descartes Mobile™ extends Descartes world-class routing and scheduling systems to the field, guiding your drivers through their day, and completing the final link in the chain of custody through accurate Proof of Delivery.

Drivers begin their day by reconciling items prior to departing their depot, making certain they have all they need. Upon arriving at their stops, drivers may scan items on and off their vehicle, ensuring the customer gets everything they were supposed to, and nothing they weren’t. If an item is damaged or refused, the reason can be recorded and photographs taken. Upon completion of the stop, the customer verifies all the items delivered, and signs off, confirming the driver’s actions. Additionally, Descartes Mobile may be customized at almost any point within the application to allow the collection of data specific to your organization, such as load quality, surveys, or re-ordering of supplies.

And while Descartes Mobile is guiding the driver through their day, it’s also communicating to Descartes servers, providing operational and customer service personnel real-time visibility into the status of the driver and their deliveries.

The Descartes Mobile application is made available by The Descartes Systems Group Inc., 120 Randall Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2V 1C6. To learn more, contact us at 1 [phone] or visit www.descartes.com

Ratings and reviews

Terrible user experience. Network connection is laggy. Info doesn't go through to dispatch. Store stops get removed if you add deliveries. Route updates take too long. The map has a glitch on Android phones, making the route lines become removed from the stops. 1.5/10 the .5 is for the camera option which has gotten better

As of the most recent update, this app now requires permissions to access real time location even when the app is not running. This app is now a significant battery drain and a threat against individual privacy as it is now pulling when you shut it down. They should cease requiring constant real time tracking and go back to allowing it to be accepted only when the app is running.

This was a bad design choice! When your on the main routing screen with all the stops listed, the enroute block has a green border, instead of a green background like it used to, its hard to tell if your in route, espescially when your phone is mounted away from your face, like on the dash of truck. Also! Im only seeing product descriptions that make sense 50% of the time, it mostly just shows a bunch of random code.
