RunboardPRO is designed for
- Building material suppliers
- Trade suppliers
- Wholesalers and distributors
- Businesses running recurring scheduled deliveries
- Companies managing their own drivers and vehicles internally
Allotrac may suit you if

Why businesses choose RunboardPRO
These are operational outcomes rather than feature counts — what actually changes about the delivery day.
One connected delivery workflow
Dispatch, the driver app, customer updates and the delivery record are the same system, so nothing has to be kept in step by hand.
Dispatch and drivers connected
Changes reach the driver as dispatch makes them, and status flows back without a phone call in either direction.
Customers receive updates
Automatic SMS and a live tracking link mean the customer hears from the system rather than ringing the office.
Proof of delivery captured digitally
Photos, a signature and notes are captured at the drop and stay attached to the job.
Fleet information managed alongside deliveries
Vehicle records, compliance dates and service history sit with the operation they belong to, not in a separate tool.
