We’ve had good results in low‑infrastructure lanes by pairing an offline‑first TMS with a cheap SMS gateway so drivers can send POD/status codes that sync later β€” it’s like giving a walkie‑talkie to your spreadsheet. Small caveat: keep a fallback SOP when sync hiccups (we tell drivers to snap a timestamped photo) so exceptions don’t vanish. @Rina I always tell teams to β€œinstrument the edges first” before chasing AI dashboards.
