AFM Driver for Android

AFM Driver — Overview for Fleets and Drivers

AFM Driver is an Android companion app built to work with AFM Suite TMS. It gives drivers and dispatchers a mobile way to manage trips, share documents, and keep shipment information synchronized in real time. The app supports document handling (for example, bills of lading and proof-of-delivery), messaging between drivers and dispatch, and visibility into trip and payment details.

Driver-focused Functions

• View complete trip details and payment summaries on the device.
• Receive dispatch orders automatically once a run is released in AFM Suite.
• Attach photos and documents (such as PODs) directly to a trip record.
• Update pickup/drop statuses and change job progress as work is completed.
• Chat with dispatchers and exchange notes about shipments.

Fleet & Dispatcher Tools

• Monitor drivers’ live positions using continuous location reporting.
• Automatically associate uploaded BOLs and PODs with their related orders in AFM Suite.
• Track shipment check-ins and check-outs to maintain an accurate timeline.
• Collect minute-by-minute GPS points to improve ETA accuracy and audit trails.
• Add and review shipment notes to capture special instructions or exceptions.

How It Speeds Up Processes

AFM Driver reduces manual status calls and paperwork by automating common workflows. Location services push frequent GPS updates, while digital check-in/out and BOL/POD capture shorten the time between an event and its reflection in the TMS. These features help keep records current and lower the administrative burden on drivers and dispatch teams.

Reporting Problems and Feedback

Drivers can report bugs, submit feedback, or share issues by composing an email from the app and attaching relevant files or screenshots. This makes it simple to document incidents and forward supporting material to operations or support staff.

Alternative Recommendation: Eagle App (ATOM) — Free Option

If you’re evaluating additional mobile solutions, consider Eagle App (ATOM), which offers a free tier. It provides many of the same capabilities for mobile dispatch, document capture, and location reporting, making it a practical alternative for smaller fleets or teams testing mobile TMS integrations.
