Technology solutions provider Ebbon-Dacs has furthered the functionality of its moDel vehicle delivery and collection solution to make vehicle deliveries to fleets easier.

Announced as the volume of fleet orders and deliveries starts to increase again, the two releases include an initial version aimed at vehicle logistics companies using the moDel-VM portal – the stand-alone version of moDel which is intended for vehicle deliveries which are not integrated with Ebbon-Dacs’ e-procurement platform, Leaselink.

The new enhancement to moDel-VM is a ‘push job’ facility which allows logistics and delivery companies to ‘push’ a new vehicle delivery job directly to delivery drivers’ devices, such as smart phones and tablets; saving time for both delivery company and driver.

This feature is initially available as part of a pilot scheme and Ebbon-Dacs is looking for volunteer companies to test the new functionality before rolling it out across the whole moDel community.

The second new feature involves a new registration process for the driver app for all versions of moDel, in both Apple/iOS and Android formats. By registering their details for the app, including user name and password, drivers will be able to access details of all their available jobs, thus increasing security, saving time and improving efficiency.

The app itself has been upgraded with a new user interface to enhance the user experience with a fresh and updated look and feel.

Linked to the ‘push job’ functionality, Ebbon-Dacs is also looking for volunteers to test the new driver registration feature. Any companies willing to take part in the two pilot schemes should contact co-ordinator Andy Smith at [email protected]

“Our message to customers is that we continue to invest heavily in the ongoing development of moDel with new functionality and features to improve efficiency and make their lives easier, often based on customer feedback and experience,” said Ebbon-Dacs’ commercial head – moDel, Michael Terry.
