  • The system will then post all of that information into the 'Curbside Pickup' screen, assigned to a 'pickup' driver associated with your branch. The pickup driver is usually assigned to a tablet running off the branch WiFi.

  • From there, users of our phone system would get a page in to their dispatch area over the phone to let the dispatcher know that someone was waiting curbside. Not sure if that will be possible with your phone system. Possibly.
  • Staff can then bring the invoices out, and take e-signature at the vehicle.
