We created the app for the client for offline deliveries as well as for offline orders using .Net Core with multi-lingual capabilities to run the app in English or Afrikaans with any other language being able to be added in hours thanks to the inherent product design. The reason for this was that the client operated in farmlands where there was limited or no cellular connectivity. At time of delivery confirmation the Driver will confirm the item and quantity with a dual signature verification function for Driver and Customer. On returning to the office (or at any other time) the driver or delivery clerk has the ability to upload these deliveries to Acumatica. The primary reason for the app development was that the Acumatica app was not Bi-Lingual, did not have offline-capabilities, and did not have the User Interface that could be achieved using a separate technology.

In terms of process –

  • The user logs in to the app using their Acumatica login credentials
  • Then selects the Shipping / Deliver Zone
  • After selection we load the Open Shipments onto the app
  • At time of delivery the driver can change the quantities and proceed to a dual signature function for Customer and Driver
  • Once they are back at the office the update function will load confirm the deliveries in Acumatica and upload the signatures
  • For offline orders the same function applies where drivers can take orders on the road with a function to refresh available on hand quantities only ensuring minimal data usage
