Dynamic Sentry Planning

Plan It. Prove It. Invoice It.

Planning, driver ePOD and invoicing for UK hauliers. Build the day's work on a drag-and-drop board, capture proof of delivery on the driver's phone, bill the waiting time you can evidence, and send clean invoices to your accounts package. Use it on its own, or alongside Dynamic Sentry compliance with one login and no double keying.

PLANNING & DISPATCH

The Day's Work on One Board

Orders come in by screen or spreadsheet and become jobs: single drops, multi-drop runs and multi-collection loads, with the stops put in order for you. Drag jobs onto trucks and trailers, drag to change times, and move work between vehicles at any stage. Every change reaches the driver's phone straight away.

Order entry on screen or bulk import from CSV

Drag-and-drop allocation to trucks and trailers

Live job and stop status, with a queue for checking PODs

Stop locations by postcode, what3words or map pin, with access notes for the driver

Drivers, vehicles, absences and VOR come straight from Dynamic Sentry — you never plan a driver who is on holiday or a truck that is off the road

DRIVER APP

Proof of Delivery That Works Without Signal

The driver app for Android and iPhone is built for loading bays, basements and rural drops. Everything the driver captures is saved on the phone and syncs when signal returns. Uploads survive the app closing, a reboot or a flat battery.

Drivers log into the truck with a PIN, not a personal account

Simple stop flow: arrived, working, POD, departed

Signature, printed name, photos and quantities at every drop

Exceptions recorded on the spot: refused, damaged, short, over, closed, no access, wrong address

Customer insists on paper? The driver scans the signed ticket with the camera

The app never tracks the driver's phone — vehicle positions come from the truck's own telematics

WAITING TIME

Get Paid for the Time You Wait

Hours lost at customer sites are rarely billed because nobody can prove them. Dynamic Sentry Planning works out time on site from the truck's telematics and the driver's tachograph, so every waiting-time charge comes with evidence the customer can't argue with.

Calculated

Arrival and departure times taken from telematics geofences and tacho activity, not the driver's memory

Reconciled

A provisional charge on the day, confirmed once tacho data is downloaded, then reviewed by your office before it is billed

Evidenced

An evidence pack with map, timings and POD goes with the invoice line

From Order to Invoice

Everything between the customer's order and the money landing in your account, in one system.

Automatic POD Emails

A branded, tamper-proof POD PDF goes to your customer for every delivery, from your own email domain. Exceptions are emailed as they happen, and customer replies are threaded onto the job.

Customer Portal

Customers look up their own deliveries and download PODs through a secure portal or a one-off link. Fewer "has it been delivered?" phone calls.

Paperwork Matched Automatically

Scan a whole stack of returned delivery notes in one go. The system splits the scan and files each page against the right job.

HGV Routing & Costing

Lorry routing with speeds calibrated every night from your own trucks. Every job shows miles, drive time, £ per mile and £ per hour before you accept it.

Rate Cards & Quotes

Price per load, pallet or tonne, with mileage or hourly rates. An accepted quote overrides the rate card, and every manual price change is audited. Cost and margin are only visible to the people you choose.

Invoices Into Your Accounts

Completed, POD-confirmed, priced jobs become draft invoices in an approval queue, then go straight to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage. CSV export is always available.

Manufacturer Telematics

Connects to the truck's own factory telematics (rFMS) for Volvo, DAF, Scania, MAN, Mercedes, Renault and Iveco. Live map, geofences and arrival times without extra hardware.

Tachograph Cross-Check

Downloaded tacho data is matched to the planned jobs, so you can see who actually drove, when, and whether the card matches the driver logged into the truck.

Secure & UK Hosted

Two-factor sign-in for every office user, each haulier's data kept apart at the database level, UK hosting, retention rules, and a full data export if you ever leave.

PROFITABILITY

Know What Every Truck Earns

Revenue from your jobs meets fuel, wages and on-costs from Dynamic Sentry to give a profit and loss for every truck, every day — and a clear reason on the days a truck earned nothing.

Daily P&L per truck and per customer

Wasted-journey checks, so aborted runs are billed rather than forgotten

Wages worked out from GPS and tachograph data, with a review grid and payroll export

Sales dashboard with turnover, margins, rep commission and customers who have gone quiet

On Its Own, or With Full Compliance

Dynamic Sentry Planning runs as a standalone system for hauliers who just need planning, ePOD and invoicing. Add it to Dynamic Sentry fleet compliance and it appears inside the same console with the same login. Drivers, vehicles, absences and off-road trucks are shared, so nothing is typed in twice — and your planners can see a compliance problem before they plan around it.

One Login

Planning sits inside the Dynamic Sentry console — no second system to sign into.

One Master List

Drivers, vehicles, holidays and VOR come from compliance, so the board is always right.

One Set of Numbers

Jobs, wages and running costs meet in the same P&L.
