Driver app
A driver app with live maps
Your drivers get a mobile web app — no install required, works on any phone. Embedded Google Maps gives them live routing to the customer's door, and one-tap status updates from "out for delivery" to "delivered" keep the customer and your dashboard in sync.
★Mobile web — works on any phone, no app store required.
Managing drivers without maps or status updates is chaos.
When your driver calls to ask for directions and the customer has no idea the order is coming, you own the friction. PatronWorks puts a live map in the driver's hand and pushes status back to the customer on its own.
How it works
Simple where it counts.
Tap to claim a delivery
When an online order is ready, the driver opens the app, sees the delivery on a list, and taps to claim it. No dispatch board needed.
Google Maps shows the way
The embedded map plots the route to the customer's door with live traffic. The driver never leaves the app to open a separate navigation tool.
One tap updates everyone
When the driver taps "out for delivery" and later "delivered," the customer gets a notification and your dashboard reflects the real-time status.
What's inside
Everything this covers.
No install, every phone
The driver app runs in the browser — mobile web, not native. There is no app store download, no OS compatibility check, no version updates.
- Works on any smartphone with a browser
- No app store submission or approval
- Always the latest version — no manual updates
Live routing built in
Google Maps is embedded directly in the driver flow, so there is no copying addresses or switching between apps.
- Embedded Google Maps with live traffic routing
- Directions plotted to the customer's exact address
- Driver stays in one app from claim to delivery
Status updates, one tap
Drivers mark "out for delivery" and "delivered" with a single tap. The customer and your dashboard update in real time.
- One-tap status transitions
- Customer notified automatically at each step
- Dashboard shows live delivery status for every order
The driver never leaves the app
From claiming a delivery to tapping "delivered," everything happens in one browser-based app. The map, the routing, the status — it's all there, on any phone, without an install.
