Proof of delivery
Built for deliveries you have to prove
Both Zippykind and Shipday capture a photo and a signature on every plan. The difference shows up when a delivery has rules attached. In Zippykind, each pickup location carries its own requirements: a signature, a photo, a photo ID check, refrigeration, or a payment to collect at the door. They load onto every ticket from that location automatically, so a pharmacy, a dispensary or a liquor store never relies on a driver remembering which order needs what.
Customers can sign on their own phone with a contactless signature, on a page in your colors, and every delivery closes in a PDF with the photo, the signature, GPS coordinates and the full timeline. That record is what settles a dispute, satisfies an auditor, or answers a regulator, and it comes on every Zippykind plan.
Your brand
Your brand on every delivery, on every plan
Shipday lists branded delivery tracking, and removing its “powered by shipday” badge, on Branded Premium and above. In Zippykind your logo and colors are on the customer tracking page and the contactless signature page from the first delivery, on every plan, at no extra cost. Each of your locations can carry its own branding, so a business with more than one storefront looks like itself everywhere.
The tracking link shows your customer the driver on the map with a live ETA, and text and email updates go out as the driver gets closer. When a customer replies, the conversation lands in the Message Center with your team and the driver in one thread, several deliveries can share that thread, and calls go through a virtual number so personal numbers stay private.
Dispatch
Dispatch that runs itself, included on every plan
Shipday lists standard auto-dispatch on its paid plans. Zippykind includes auto-dispatch on every plan, free, and gives you a choice of how it works: offer each ticket to the closest driver first, or to every driver at once, with an expiry, a search radius, and an email to you if nobody accepts. Draw driver zones on the map and tickets inside a zone go to the drivers who own it.
When you want routes, the Routing Suite adds route optimization for up to 200 stops, a manual and automatic route planner, and Flash Routes, which turn any shape you draw on the map into a route. It is $0.04 a delivery on any plan and it is part of the 14-day trial.
Switching
Move over without starting over
The data importer brings in your existing tickets, customers and products from a spreadsheet, so your first day on Zippykind starts with your real customer list. Shipday lists API and webhook access on Professional and above; in Zippykind the API and webhooks come on every plan, with your own keys and a test mode that lets you connect your ordering system without creating real deliveries.
The 14-day trial includes every feature except a dedicated phone number, so you can run real deliveries through Zippykind before you turn anything off.
