Document Management
Upload, organize, and access important fleet documents in one central location.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”RouteMate’s document management feature lets you store and organize documents related to your fleet operations. Drivers can upload documents from the mobile app, and fleet managers can view, download, and manage them from the web dashboard. Having all your documents in one place makes it easy to find what you need during audits, inspections, or day-to-day operations.
Uploading Documents
Section titled “Uploading Documents”To upload a document from the web dashboard:
