How to run your dispatch & delivery riders business with TheCEOApp

TheCEOApp team ·

A dispatch business lives on trips: who picked up what, where it's going and whether it arrived. Riders collect cash on delivery too.

TheCEOApp tracks each delivery and each rider's day.

Each day's trips

Plan the day's routes and deliveries with the waybill list, ready to share with the rider.

Picked up to delivered

Move each delivery through picked up, on the way and delivered.

Riders' money

Riders sign in as staff, so each delivery and payment shows who handled it.

Record every sale in seconds

Add what you sell once, for example services like same-day delivery (within the city), interstate delivery and express delivery. Suggestions for a dispatch & delivery riders come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.

Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.

Keep stock the way you count it

Count stock by delivery, trip and km. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. You can record each product's part number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.

Track each job from start to finish

Every job moves through your own steps (typically 1 day), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:

  • Picked up
  • On the way
  • Delivered
