Drivers App + Comms

Every pickup and return, on the record.

The Angelpaw Driver App gives your drivers their route, their stops and every pet to collect or return, with scans and digital signatures that update tracking for pet parents, vets and your care center. Messaging keeps vet teams and your crematory in direct contact.

A route, start to finish

From the first stop to check-in.

Drivers sign in with their own Angelpaw user, so every action is tied to the person who made it.

Choose a route

See every order on it, with pet tag, pet name, hospital, service and action.

2

Load the vehicle

Pick the vehicle and load cremains ready for return by scanning or typing pet IDs.

3

Visit each stop

Pick up pets or return cremains. Cannot pickup leaves an order for the next run.

A digital signature confirms the driver was there and what changed hands.

Every order on the route

After choosing a route, the driver sees each order with the pet tag, pet name, owner, hospital, service and the action needed, such as Pickup Pet.

Pickup, or cannot pickup

At each stop the driver scans or types the pet ID, checks the order details and taps Pickup. Cannot Pickup leaves the order at the location for a later run.

  • Tracking updates for pet parents, vets and the crematory

Finalize visit

A signature at every stop

Finalizing a visit asks for a digital signature, confirming the driver went to the location and picked up pets or returned cremains.

Straight into the care center

When the route is done, the driver selects the check-in station and finalizes. Every pet picked up is moved to the care center in one step.

  • Summary of every pet picked up
  • Confirmation once pets are checked in
Confirmation that pets have been successfully checked in
On a started route

Pets waiting that are not on the route

On Dynamic Routes, a driver who finds extra pets waiting at a clinic or address can add them to the started route instead of calling the office.

  • Search the place by name
  • Pets that cannot be added show the reason
  • Adding pets sends no messages and adds no charges

Static, dynamic and hybrid routes

Every kind of run, in the same app.

Drivers work the same way on every route type: choose the route, load, visit each stop and sign. What changes is how the stops are planned.

Static routes

Predefined vet runs the van follows regularly, so drivers know their routine clinic stops before they leave.

Dynamic routes

Stops are added as orders come in from the phone, e-commerce or vet partners, based on where your vans are. Drivers can also add pets waiting at a stop to a started route.

Hybrid routes

Standing vet stops plus the day’s new pickups and returns, on the same run.

Chain of custody

One scan updates everyone.

When a driver taps Pickup, the pet moves from the location to the vehicle in Angelpaw, and the tracking updates for the pet parent, the veterinary hospital and your care center. No calls, no paper logs.

  • Each driver has their own user
  • Every pickup, return and signature is time-stamped
  • Pets go straight into the check-in station

Pet Notes and evidence

Record what happened, with photos.

Drivers and floor staff can add short internal notes on a pet from the Driver App or the Care Center app, with photos as evidence.

Notes by category

General, Pickup, Tag ID, Belongings, Pet condition, Paperwork, Station or equipment, or Other.

Evidence photos

Up to 5 photos per evidence note. Hidden location and camera details are removed before storage.

Always internal

Veterinary clinics and pet parents never see Pet Notes, and adding one sends no notifications.

In the order history

Every note shows in the order’s Internal Notes with the source app, category and stop.

Weak signal safe

Photos upload one at a time and retries do not create duplicates.

Android and iOS

Driver App for Android, Driver App 2.0 for iOS and the original Driver App for iOS.

Comms

A direct line between vet teams and your crematory.

The Communications module in the Veterinarian Portal is a messaging system between veterinary staff and the crematory, so questions about an order get answered where the order lives.

  • 1Vet staff message the crematory from their portal
  • 2Conversations listed with participants
  • 3Families are kept informed by automatic notifications

Which phones does the Driver App run on?

Android and iOS. There is a Driver App for Android, Driver App 2.0 for iOS and the original Driver App for iOS. Drivers sign in with their Angelpaw staff login.

How does a driver identify each pet?
