The last mile has changed. Customers expect predictability, clear communication, and frictionless proof of delivery. For independent drivers and small operations, though, traditional delivery management systems are often expensive and slow to deploy. That’s where Meu Rastreio’s MR Lite makes the difference: a lean, intuitive solution built for people on the road every day who need to deliver more at lower cost—with less complexity.

In this article, you’ll see how MR Lite helps you organize your day, automate customer updates, capture proof of delivery (POD), and boost efficiency without needing to be a tech expert.
