Frequently Asked Questions

Customers click a link you send them. No app download or login required. Works on any device with a web browser.

Yes, access logs show who viewed each link, when, and for how long.

What happens when the delivery is complete?

Links can auto-expire when the vehicle reaches the destination geofence. Customers see "Delivery Complete" instead of live tracking.

Can I use this for B2B deliveries?

Absolutely. Many customers use tracking links for warehouse deliveries, with access restricted to authorized personnel.
