CV Show 2026 – Podfather: route planning, ePOD

The 2026 Commercial Vehicle Show will take place from 21-23 April at the NEC Birmingham.

Stand: 4A12

Fleet software specialist Podfather is attending the CV Show this year to demonstrate how the transition to digital distribution lifecycles is reshaping logistics from a traditional cost centre into a strategic asset.

The focus is on the integration of route planning and electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) to replace legacy paper-based systems, with the move toward ‘paperless’ operations framed through the lens of tangible business outcomes.

“By automating workflows, firms are seeing accelerated cash flow via instant invoicing and reduced carbon emissions through optimised mileage,” said Podfather.

The software provides real-time visibility across both internal fleets and external hauliers, enabling precise tracking and reliable ETAs.

The platform aims to eliminate ‘empty running’ and manual administration, driving higher fleet utilisation.”
