Pizza delivery drivers every move tracked via Uber-inspired app

Pizza company Domino's new GPS Driver Tracker.

A pizza company's drivers will be able to be tracked from the moment they leave the store to when they drop the pizza off at your door.

Domino's New Zealand general manager Scott Bush said the company's GPS Driver Tracker was developed with Navman Wireless as an extension to the company's smartphone app and is launching in New Zealand following a successful trial in Australia.

"Our customers will be able to watch their driver on route to their door in real time [and] know exactly who their driver is," Bush said.

The software was inspired by Uber and also works on desktop computers and also keeps delivery drivers safe, Bush said.

"We trialled the tracker technology in 50 Domino's stores across Australia, in some stores for up to 18 months before launch and we watched the number of driver incidents reduce by 50 per cent.

"They are out and about making pizza deliveries at all times of the day so it's extremely important for us that the heart of our business, our team members, remain safe at all times."

Bush said that as well as generating unsafe driving behaviour reports in real time, the app sets driving behaviour benchmarks in the business.
