Spencer Taylor, a British innovator and former delivery driver, has launched an innovative new driver app that is designed to help delivery drivers go about accessing addresses with greater ease, whilst also giving them pertinent information about hidden or partially accessible locations and enabling them to contribute to the community's knowledge of theor local area.
The 'DALUS' driver app allows users to submit information to addresses. For example, they can leave a note stating that a particular location is best accessed through a specific route, or offer information about parking availability in the area.
In addition to speeding up the process of deliveries for customers and drivers alike, this app also offers the benefit of curbing delivery-related gridlock and preventing damage to vehicles and property.
