What is Subcontracting?

Spot Subcontracting is a low-entry, easy to use SCALAR solution that creates a trip on the spot which can be shared with any subcontractor to get feedback during trip execution. It enables any subcontracted driver to share feedback about the assigned trip without using an app or complex workflows/procedures.

• Drivers do not need to install any app, register anywhere, or to get instructions on how to use the solution.
• For the integrator only the spot subcontracting API needs to be used. No other SCALAR APIs need to be accessed or created, such as assets, drivers, and places.

How does Spot Subcontracting work?

1. The integrator creates a trip via the Datahub API, which produces a unique tripID and URL. This URL can be sent to the subcontracted driver via e-mail or WhatsApp and the tripID can be used to retrieve feedback on the trip.

   Note

   Sharing the information to the driver is not done within SCALAR.

2. The driver uses the unique URL to consult the trip overview and any actions that need be completed to finish the trip. After each action, the driver will:
   1. click the Arrive button,
   2. give feedback, if needed,
   3. and click the Finish button to complete the action.
