Use case
Suppose you sell products on a subscription basis. Your customers expect a package from you every fortnight. That is, you make a fortnightly delivery to the same addresses. You can then create these in trip management. When new customers subscribe, new addresses are added. You add these to an existing- or new-ride using Google Maps.
Your benefit
You can easily modify your existing rides. You can change delivery addresses or move them to other routes so that your drivers follow the most optimal route. That way, your delivery driver spends less time on the road and the customer receives his order faster. Thanks to the connection with Google Maps, your drivers will be able to use navigation via their mobile phone or tablet.
Extra:
Trip management is linked to the logistics process. For example, sequence numbers from trip management are used to tune production. The distance between existing addresses and new addresses is calculated with an algorithm. We have ensured that all trips are visually displayed in a map view. This way, you can visually detect errors.
Features of the Advanced Delivery Method Manager:
Creating different routes for multiple drivers. Thus, any fixed route can be included in the Advanced Delivery Method Manager.
Assign new contacts to the right ride with Google Maps integration. An algorithm is used to determine which existing address is closest to the new address.
The sequence numbers of the rides are used to tune production. The ride that is first in line is produced first. This is important when loading the delivery trucks.
With Mapbox integration, trips can be visually viewed in a map view.
The overview of rides can serve as navigation for the driver. Using a mobile phone or tablet, your current location is determined and you get the trip description to the chosen address.
Do you have several rides? You can select them to put them all in an overview. This way, you can visually identify errors. Suppose there is an address in the wrong trip. Via this screen you can put the address in the correct trip.
