Ditch rider software
The working details.
What is ditch rider software?
It puts the ditch rider's route on a phone instead of a paper run sheet. The ditch rider taps Start delivery and End delivery at each turnout and confirms the cfs reading, and the office sees the record without a phone call. Open your route before heading out. Record delivery activity when signal drops, then sync when you're connected again.
Does the ditch rider app work offline?
Open your route before heading out. Record delivery activity when signal drops, then sync when you're connected again. Starts and ends recorded without signal sync automatically when the connection returns.
Do ditch riders cost extra per user?
No. Pricing is flat: $99.00/month for Lateral and $299.00/month for District, with no per-user or per-patron charges. Adding a ditch rider does not change the bill, and the ditch rider app is included in Lateral.
Can a ditch rider use the district map in the field?
Yes, with a connection. Headgates, turnouts and laterals are drawn on the district map, which is in the ditch rider's menu. The route's Map button needs a connection.
What stops a ditch rider from changing something they should not?
Access is role-based. A ditch rider can start and end only deliveries assigned to them. Billing, shares and other office screens are not available to a ditch rider account.
