The problem it solves

When delivery information lives in a spreadsheet or document, someone has to notice the update and manually re-enter it into your delivery software. That extra step is an easy place for a delivery task to get delayed or missed entirely.

Who it fits

Delivery and logistics operators who manage delivery details in Google Drive.

How it works

  1. A file in a designated Google Drive location is updated
  2. The system detects the change
  3. It creates a new delivery task in Onfleet with the updated details
What you get

Delivery tasks created the moment files change

You get a new delivery task created automatically in Onfleet whenever your file details update.

What you get

A new delivery task created in your dispatch software, ready for routing and driver assignment.

What you need

A Google Drive account and an Onfleet account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
