Warehouse mode in the Dropium app
The driver’s own app, in its sorting centre mode: sorting, pickup intake and returns, on handheld terminals, phones and browsers. Operations only.
Who uses it
Sorting centre operators. They do not install another app: they open Dropium and enter Warehouse mode if their account has warehouse permission. The menu is filtered by each operator’s permissions, so each one sees only what they can do.
The three axes
Sorting
Boxes, lines, orders and routes of the delivery flow. Opening and closing boxes, bulk state changes and assignment to a line or route.
Pickup intake
From dock to truck: goods intake, filling with anti-mix control and box sealing. Dispatch is a handover with a record — open, sealed or failed — with up to 6 kinds of evidence and a delivery note issued only once, as PDF, XLSX or CSV, carrying the fingerprint of its annex.
Returns
The return comes in at the dock, is sorted into the cage of its consolidation point, and the cage waits in the parking area. It leaves in one of two ways: with the driver running the return route, or with the person from the point who comes to collect it.
The 4 custody handovers
Every time goods change hands, the operator opens a record, adds the evidence — trailer, plate, seal, signature, damage or other — and seals it. If the handover fails, the record says so and nothing leaves.

Frequently asked questions
Is it a separate app?
No. It is the Dropium app, the same one the driver uses. Whoever has warehouse permission sees Warehouse mode; whoever has a driver profile sees Delivery mode; and whoever has both can switch between them.
What is anti-mix filling?
When filling a box, the app checks that the scanned parcel belongs in that box and rejects it if not. It prevents the most expensive warehouse mistake: discovering the mix-up when the box is already sealed and on the truck.
Does it work if the warehouse network goes down?
Yes. Warehouse operations queue on the device, in their own visible queue kept apart from the delivery one, and sync when the connection returns.
Do we need to buy specific handhelds?
No. The Dropium app works with any Android handheld with a scanner, with phones using the camera, and from a browser.
