AI-Powered Rider and Driver Management Software

Manage every driver, rider, route, and delivery from one AI-powered platform. Locus automates driver assignment, optimizes daily routes, tracks execution in real time, and equips delivery teams with a comprehensive driver app for navigation, task management, exception handling, and proof of delivery.

Locus is an AI-powered rider and driver management platform that connects auto-assignment, route optimization, dispatching, and delivery execution in one system. Dispatchers can allocate orders, monitor drivers through real-time GPS tracking, and respond to delivery exceptions, while drivers use a comprehensive driver app for navigation, task management, and proof of delivery. Automated updates improve driver-customer communication, and centralized performance analytics help enterprises increase productivity across owned, outsourced, and hybrid fleets.

What is Driver Management Software?

Driver management software helps delivery businesses assign orders, dispatch optimized routes, track drivers and riders in real time, manage delivery tasks, capture proof of delivery, communicate delivery updates, and analyze workforce performance.

Locus extends these functions across captive and owned fleets, contracted drivers, outsourced delivery partners, hybrid fleets, and multi-hub, multi-region operations, so a single platform governs driver management no matter who performs the delivery or where.

Manage Drivers From Dispatch to Delivery

Locus manages the full workflow from order intake to completion:

1. Import orders and driver availability.
2. Use AI-powered auto-assignment to allocate work.
3. Build optimized routes around real-world constraints.
4. Send routes and tasks to the driver app.
5. Monitor drivers through real-time GPS tracking.
6. Manage changes and delivery exceptions.
7. Capture digital proof of delivery.
8. Evaluate outcomes with performance analytics.

Automate Order-to-Driver Assignment

Locus automates assignments across available drivers, vehicles, hubs, and delivery partners, accounting for capacity, service areas, operating constraints, delivery windows, and route efficiency. This reduces manual allocation and dispatcher workload, and work is reassigned or rescheduled as operating conditions change. AI-powered auto-assignment here means fleet-wide optimization across 250+ operational variables, not simplistic nearest-driver matching.

Optimize Routes Before Drivers Leave the Hub

Locus generates efficient, constraint-aware route plans that sequence pickups, deliveries, cancellations, and returns, and balance workloads across drivers. The result is stronger SLA adherence and resource utilization, with less avoidable distance, planning time, and fewer delivery reattempts.

Keep Dispatchers and Drivers Synchronized in Real Time

Locus sends task sequences and navigation updates to drivers and reflects route recalculations, new orders, cancellations, and priority changes in the driver app. Dispatch teams get one operational view of orders, vehicles, and drivers, and exceptions surface early so teams can intervene before SLAs are missed. The Locus Driver Companion App synchronizes dispatch decisions, route changes, navigation, task sequencing, proof-of-delivery workflows, and exception handling.

Equip Every Rider With a Comprehensive Driver App

The Locus Driver Companion App is the field workflow for every rider, bringing task management, navigation, execution updates, and proof of delivery into one driver app.

Daily Task Management

Drivers get an intuitive, prioritized task list that accounts for dynamic route changes, cancellations, and new assignments, and supports pickups, deliveries, returns, and failed-delivery workflows. This reduces reliance on calls, spreadsheets, and separate messaging tools.

Turn-by-Turn Navigation

The app delivers optimized stop sequences to the mobile device, keeps navigation aligned with dispatch plans, and updates drivers when routes or priorities change, helping drivers complete more tasks within promised service windows.

Digital Proof of Delivery

Drivers capture multi-format electronic proof of delivery, including photos, signatures, and OTPs, along with delivery notes where configured. Completion data synchronizes with the dispatch platform, creating a reliable record for customer service and operational review.

Real-Time Exception Handling

Drivers report cancellations, failed deliveries, delays, and other exceptions from the field, giving dispatchers execution data without repeated driver calls. This enables faster intervention and route adjustments and preserves a single source of truth from dispatch through completion.

Track Drivers, Riders, and Deliveries in Real Time

Real-Time GPS Tracking

Track active drivers, vehicles, routes, and orders through a unified control tower, comparing actual delivery progress with planned routes to identify delays, deviations, and at-risk deliveries, and to improve ETA and customer-update accuracy.

End-to-End Delivery Visibility

Monitor owned, contracted, outsourced, and hybrid fleets and consolidate execution data across hubs and delivery partners, replacing fragmented spreadsheets and transporter updates while maintaining visibility across multi-region operations. Nestlé, for example, uses Locus for centralized, end-to-end in-transit visibility in one platform rather than fragmented transporter files.

Proactive Delivery Exception Management

Locus detects potential SLA failures before they affect customers, re-optimizes or reschedules routes when conditions change, and reassigns work when driver availability or capacity shifts, giving dispatchers operational control without micromanaging every stop.

Improve Driver-Customer Communication

Locus improves driver-customer communication through coordinated delivery updates rather than unrestricted direct chat.

Keep Customers Informed With Timely Delivery Updates

Send automated delivery notifications and status updates, provide live or updated ETAs where configured, and keep customer-facing information aligned with real-time execution, which reduces “where is my order” contacts.

Connect Field Execution With Customer Communication

Driver status and delivery progress trigger relevant updates, so delays or delivery changes are communicated more quickly and information gaps among drivers, dispatchers, support teams, and customers shrink, for a more consistent experience across internal and outsourced fleets. Jüsto uses Locus to strengthen rider communication alongside route optimization, delivery visibility, and customer satisfaction.

Resolve Delivery Issues Faster

Customer-service and dispatch teams get access to current delivery status and can use proof-of-delivery and exception data to investigate disputes, reducing the need to call drivers for routine status checks and creating a traceable record of delivery execution.

Measure and Improve Driver Performance

Driver Performance Analytics

Locus provides KPI dashboards covering representative, configurable metrics such as driver productivity, tasks or deliveries completed, on-time delivery performance, SLA adherence, service time, fleet utilization, cost per delivery, and route and delivery efficiency.

Compare Planned and Actual Execution

Compare planned and actual execution to identify recurring route delays and service-time issues, analyze driver and fleet productivity, find underused capacity and inefficient allocation patterns, and feed execution data back into future dispatch planning. Lenskart, for instance, increased tasks per agent by 20%, with 80% of orders completed within SLAs.

Give Drivers Visibility Into Their Performance

Surface relevant KPIs through the driver experience, including a gamified driver performance dashboard where configured, so riders understand progress and outcomes. Positioned as an enablement tool rather than only a monitoring system, this supports coaching and operational improvement with objective data.
