Introducing In-App Navigation: Making Driving a Breeze for Your Drivers

Hi Upper users!

We are excited to share some exciting news.

We know how frustrating it can be for drivers to have to switch between apps just to view their schedules and navigate routes.

And here we are with In-App Navigation: our latest feature to simplify drivers’ lives on the road.

With this feature, drivers can now navigate to their destinations directly within the app, eliminating the need for third-party navigation tools.

So, it’s time to ditch the hassle of swapping apps for your drivers and make driving effortless.

Features Your Drivers Will Love

1. Choosing Mile/Km: Drivers can easily switch between kilometers and miles based on their preference or location. Head to Settings, select ‘Units of Measurement,’ and choose ‘Km’ or ‘Mile.’ It’s that simple.
2. Optimal routes: Powered by AI route optimization algorithms, Upper suggests the most efficient and multi-constrained route based on your driver’s availability, customers’ delivery time preferences, priority, or vehicle type, such as Car or Truck. The best part is that these routes eliminate backtracking and crisscrossing.
3. Access to delivery address information: When your driver starts clicking a stop, Upper displays crucial details, such as ‘Name, ‘Address Details’ ‘Service Time,’ and three options, including ‘Completed’ and ‘Skipped’.
4. Speedometer: Want your drivers to stay aware of their driving speed? Upper offers a live speedometer that shows your driver’s speed and ensures compliance with legal speed limits.
5. Floating widget: Don’t want your drivers to return to the route plan screen every time they complete a delivery? Simply let them click the floating widget that shows ‘Completed’, and ‘Skip’ and choose the option applicable to a specific stop. 
6. Light/Dark mode: Let your drivers customize how they view routes and order status popups. Upper lets them choose between light and dark modes for their order screen view.

We’ve designed this feature with delivery drivers’ ease of navigating routes in mind and making their driver experience as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

4. On-time deliveries: Your drivers will no longer get stuck in traffic jams or blockades, which can lead to delivery delays. Upper reroutes your drivers to ensure they stay on the best path possible.
