Last Mile Delivery + QuickBooks

Last Mile Delivery Software for QuickBooks

You run deliveries. You track revenue in QuickBooks. But between making deliveries and billing for them, everything is manual. Locate2u connects your delivery operations to QuickBooks -- auto-generating invoices for completed deliveries, tracking delivery costs, and eliminating the data entry gap between the road and your books.

Integration Overview

QuickBooks tracks your money. Locate2u earns it on the road.

QuickBooks is the go-to accounting platform for small delivery businesses -- simple invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting that keeps your books in order. But QuickBooks knows nothing about what happens between picking up a package and billing for its delivery.

Small delivery businesses face a daily gap: drivers complete deliveries, then someone has to manually create invoices in QuickBooks, track fuel costs, and reconcile delivery data. This manual process delays billing, misses deliveries, and wastes hours each week. Locate2u automates the entire delivery operation -- from route planning to proof of delivery -- and pushes financial data directly into QuickBooks so your books match your operations automatically.

Pain Points

The daily struggle for QuickBooks delivery businesses

Small delivery businesses using QuickBooks face the same operational problems every day -- and no accounting software can solve them. The gap between making deliveries and getting paid is filled with manual work.

Deliveries Made But Never Billed

Drivers complete 30 deliveries per day. At the end of the day, someone has to cross-reference delivery manifests with QuickBooks to create invoices. Deliveries slip through the cracks. At $15-$30 per delivery, even a few missed invoices per week adds up to significant lost revenue.

Hours Lost to Manual Route Planning

Every morning, someone spends 1-3 hours organizing delivery addresses, figuring out which driver takes which stops, and mapping out routes. This is unpaid time that could be spent on growing the business. And the routes are still 30% less efficient than optimized ones.

Customers Calling for Updates

Without delivery tracking, customers call your office to ask where their delivery is. Each call takes 2-5 minutes from someone who could be doing productive work. Multiply by 10-20 calls per day and you are losing hours of staff time to preventable inquiries.

No Proof When Disputes Arise

A customer says they never received their delivery. Your driver says they left it at the door. Without digital proof of delivery, you eat the cost or lose the customer. Paper manifests and driver memory are not reliable dispute resolution tools.
