How to choose the right courier software

🏢

Your business size

Consider current job volume, office users, driver count and how quickly you expect to grow.

⚙️

Essential features

Test the features you actually need: dispatch, live tracking, POD, invoicing and customer access.

£

Total monthly cost

Include seats, jobs, shipments, add-ons, onboarding and higher tiers rather than comparing only headline prices.

📱

Driver compatibility

Check the phones your drivers use and test notifications, location tracking and POD on real devices.

Quick answer: which type of business suits each platform?

Budget-conscious independent courier company: Speedy is worth evaluating if you need booking, dispatch, customer portals, POD and invoicing at a £30/month starting price, and your drivers can use Android.

Established courier fleet needing iPhone and Android driver apps: Zoom is worth comparing, particularly if its usage-based job bands fit your volumes.

UK operator needing supplier self-billing, exchange integrations or warehouse options: Journease Professional is a relevant candidate, though its per-user price and add-ons need to be included in your calculation.

Operator needing extensive configuration or advanced integration: OnTime 360 offers multiple tiers; check which features require Team or Business rather than assuming the Core plan includes everything.

Where Speedy fits — and where it may not

Speedy Courier Software is designed for independent courier companies managing their own bookings, drivers and customers. Its current capabilities include job allocation, live driver tracking, signature/photo POD, customer portals, invoicing and statements, with a £30/month entry plan and a one-month trial.

Trade-offs: The native driver app is currently Android-first. Courier Exchange integration is not yet a live feature, and Speedy is a newer product without the operating history of longer-established vendors. If either is essential, evaluate another option or confirm Speedy’s roadmap before committing.

Frequently asked questions

What is courier management software?

Courier management software helps delivery businesses manage bookings, assign drivers, monitor delivery progress, collect proof of delivery and handle customer accounts and invoices.

Which courier software is suitable for a small UK business?

Compare the total monthly cost, driver phone compatibility, customer booking access, proof of delivery, invoicing and whether the system supports your real workflow. Speedy, Zoom and Journease serve different needs and price structures.

Does the cheapest monthly plan include a customer portal?

Not always. OnTime lists its basic customer web portal from the $99/month Team plan, while Journease lists a customer portal in its Professional plan. Check each vendor’s current plan inclusions before buying.

Does Speedy have an iPhone driver app?

Speedy’s current native driver app is Android-first. Businesses requiring an iPhone driver app should verify compatibility before signing up.
