Delivery Driver / Rider Mobile App for Odoo

Name: Delivery Driver / Rider Mobile App for Odoo
Brand: ECOSIRE
SKU: delivery-rider-mobile-app

Key Features

Driver login with a personal, filtered job list — record rules and ir.model.access.csv ensure each rider sees only their own assigned deliveries, never the whole fleet's data

Assigned-delivery queue synced from Odoo: pickings or a dedicated delivery.order model push jobs to the driver in delivery-sequence order with address, customer, items, and COD amount

Turn-by-turn route navigation — one tap hands the delivery address to Google Maps / Apple Maps / Waze, with optional multi-stop route ordering for the day's run

Proof of delivery: on-screen signature capture stored in a Binary field, plus one or more delivery photos (parcel at door, damaged goods, recipient), all attached to the Odoo record

Cash-on-delivery collection: the app shows the exact COD amount due, lets the driver mark cash / card / partial, and captures a collected-amount field for later reconciliation

COD cash reconciliation view for finance — a computed @api.depends roll-up of expected vs collected per driver per shift, with variance flagging via an automated action

Live status updates written back to Odoo in real time: assigned → picked up → en route → arrived → delivered / failed, each with a server-side timestamp

GPS location sync — the app posts the driver's coordinates so dispatch sees live positions and last-known location on an Odoo map/dashboard

Failed-delivery handling: capture a reason code (customer absent, refused, wrong address), a photo, and auto-reschedule or return-to-warehouse via a server action

QWeb proof-of-delivery report — a branded PDF with the signature, photos, timestamp, and geotag, auto-emailed to the customer on delivery completion

Automated customer notifications — server/automated actions send SMS or email on 'out for delivery' and 'delivered', posting to the record's chatter for a full audit trail

Offline-tolerant capture — signatures, photos, and status changes queue on the device when signal drops and sync to Odoo via JSON-RPC once connectivity returns

Dispatcher assignment board in the Odoo backend: drag deliveries to drivers, rebalance loads, and see per-driver ETA and completion counts

Role-based security: driver, dispatcher, and finance groups with distinct access rights so drivers can update only their own jobs and only finance can close COD reconciliation

Photo and signature stored as attachments with EXIF/geotag metadata, giving you a defensible delivery record for disputes and chargebacks

About this Product

Your dispatchers assign deliveries in Odoo, but the last mile still runs on WhatsApp screenshots, paper manifests, and cash that gets counted a day late. The Delivery Driver / Rider Mobile App for Odoo closes that gap. It is a driver-facing mobile experience — a responsive OWN/PWA front end backed by a custom Odoo module — that gives every rider their own assigned-delivery list, turn-by-turn navigation, on-screen signature and photo proof-of-delivery, cash-on-delivery collection with reconciliation, and live status plus GPS that syncs straight back to your Odoo records in real time.

This is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download and there is no instant-download button. ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports this module for your specific Odoo — we model your delivery flow, wire it to your existing stock.picking, sale.order, or a dedicated delivery.order model, and hand you clean, ownable code.

How it works in Odoo. We ship a proper Odoo module with a versioned __manifest__.py (supporting Odoo 17, 18 and 19, Community or Enterprise). Deliveries are represented as records — either your existing pickings or a lightweight delivery.order model (models.Model) with state fields (assigned → en_route → delivered / failed), a Many2one driver, @api.depends computed fields for distance and COD totals, and Binary fields for the captured signature and photos. Drivers authenticate over the JSON-RPC / XML-RPC API (or a scoped portal login), see only their own jobs via record rules plus ir.model.access.csv, and every status change writes back to Odoo with a server-side timestamp. Proof-of-delivery documents render as QWeb reports (PDF with embedded signature + photo), and automated actions / server actions fire the customer SMS/email, post the delivery to the chatter, and flag COD variances the moment a rider closes a job.

The result: dispatch sees live driver locations and delivery states on one Odoo dashboard, finance reconciles COD cash against system-of-record totals instead of a shoebox, and customers get a signed, photo-backed proof of delivery — all without your team leaving Odoo.

What you get

The complete, installable Odoo module (driver app back end + models, views, security, reports) with a clean versioned __manifest__.py — code you own and can keep

The driver-facing mobile front end (responsive OWL/PWA installable to the home screen, or a native wrapper if scoped) branded to your company

Configuration on your Odoo: delivery model wiring (to stock.picking / sale.order or a new delivery.order), driver/dispatcher/finance security groups, record rules, and ir.model.access.csv

The QWeb proof-of-delivery PDF template plus the automated/server actions for customer notifications and COD variance flagging, configured to your workflow

Integration and UAT on a staging copy of your database, then a supervised go-live and cut-over with your dispatch team

Admin + dispatcher + driver documentation (setup guide, how-to for riders, and a technical README covering models, API endpoints, and security rules) plus a live training session

A defined post-launch support & warranty window covering bug fixes and Odoo point-release compatibility, with a clear path to a paid support/enhancement retainer afterwards

Source in a Git repository you control, so future in-house or third-party developers can extend it

Who this is for

Last-mile & courier operations manager

Runs a fleet of riders doing same-day or next-day drops and needs live visibility into where every driver is, which deliveries are done, and which failed — without chasing WhatsApp updates. Wants dispatch, status, and proof all living inside Odoo.

Retail / e-commerce fulfilment lead with COD

Sells cash-on-delivery in markets where card penetration is low. Loses hours reconciling rider cash against orders and eats losses on 'lost' collections. Needs the app to show exact COD due, capture what was collected, and reconcile against Odoo totals per shift.

Finance / accounts controller

Owns the cash. Wants a per-driver, per-shift reconciliation of expected vs collected COD with automatic variance flags, and a signed, photo-backed proof of delivery to defend against customer 'never received it' disputes and chargebacks.

Odoo administrator / IT lead

Maintains the company's Odoo (17/18/19, Community or Enterprise) and is wary of black-box apps that break on upgrade. Wants a properly-structured module with clean models, ir.model.access.csv, record rules, and source in Git — something the team can own and extend.

Frequently Asked Questions about Delivery Driver / Rider Mobile App for Odoo

Is this an instant download from the Odoo App Store?

No. This is a build-to-order module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports specifically for your Odoo. There is no instant download. We first scope your delivery flow (which model represents a delivery, your COD and notification rules, your branding), then build and deploy the module and its driver front end to your database. You receive ownable source code, not a generic marketplace app.

How long does delivery take, and what is the lead time?

Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks from a confirmed scope and access to a staging copy of your Odoo. A standard build (assigned list, navigation, signature/photo POD, COD collection, live status + GPS sync) sits at the shorter end; native app store publishing, complex multi-stop routing optimisation, or deep third-party TMS integrations push it toward the longer end. We agree a milestone timeline up front — scope and staging, build, UAT, then supervised go-live.

What kind of support and updates do I get after launch?

Every build includes a post-launch support and warranty window (agreed in scope) covering bug fixes and compatibility with Odoo point releases within your major version. After that window you can move to a paid support or enhancement retainer for new features, major-version migrations (e.g. 18 → 19), and priority response. Because you receive the source in a Git repo you control, you are never locked in — your own team or any Odoo partner can maintain it.

Which Odoo versions and editions does it support?

We build for Odoo 17, 18 and 19, on both Community and Enterprise. The manifest is versioned per your target, and we use only supported ORM, security, QWeb, and JSON-RPC/XML-RPC patterns so the module upgrades cleanly with your Odoo. Tell us your version and edition at scoping and we target it exactly.

Will it work with my existing deliveries, or do I need a new model?

Either. If you already dispatch from Inventory (stock.picking) or Sales (sale.order), we wire the driver app to those records so there is one source of truth. If your flow needs it, we add a lightweight delivery.order model with driver assignment, state machine, and COD fields. We recommend the right approach during scoping based on how your operation actually runs.

How does COD reconciliation actually work?

Each delivery record carries the COD amount due (computed from the linked order). When a rider closes a job they record what was collected and the method (cash / card / partial). An @api.depends computed roll-up totals expected vs collected per driver per shift, and an automated action flags any variance for finance. The signature and photo attached to the record give you a defensible proof if a customer later disputes payment or receipt.

Does the app work offline and sync GPS reliably?

Yes — signatures, photos, and status changes queue on the device when signal drops and sync to Odoo via JSON-RPC once connectivity returns, so a rider in a dead zone never loses a proof of delivery. GPS coordinates are posted with each status change (and optionally on an interval), and dispatch sees live and last-known positions on an Odoo dashboard. We tune update frequency to balance visibility against battery and data use.
