Description
Descartes MobileLink Delivery 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, MobileLink Delivery 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 MobileLink 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.
Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Need Improvement
The app alone is ok but can use improvement to benefit the user. The camera caption is fixed at a zoomed-in position and there is no option to adjust camera. You have to stand back to get the image in full frame. When you take the photo in landscape view it zooms in even more and there is no way to change it. This was not the case a few months ago but someone thought this change was important. Taking photos upon completion of the installation and delivery is the most important part of using the app.
Some suggestions
Need a fix for Apple version to allow adjustment of the orientation of a picture. I have to hold my IPhone in landscape position to get a portrait orientation. Also suggest a feature to allow drivers to email themselves a summary of the trip at the end for payroll purposes . Drivers often have to keep such records manually to make sure they get paid properly. The summary should include the trip number, miles, stop information-name & location and number of stops, any pay notes entered. Obviously It doesn’t need anything confidential like BOL images or proprietary customer info.
Decent.
The app is in a much better state. Rather than a year ago. It’s just harder for live updates when you are communicating with your dispatch and you upload a cord specifically it does not show up immediately on the order that’s usually the only problems I have with it and also the app has coloring issues and you don’t know when you can or cannot take a picture at times I feel like a update every 2 weeks will be necessary just for performance purposes.
