Routing and Tracking
This feature allows users to choose specific deliveries or an entire route assigned to a particular driver. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
Select a Driver:
- Begin by selecting a driver from the list. You’ll see the deliveries or routes associated with the chosen driver displayed on the screen.
Choose Deliveries or Route:
- You can select either:
- Individual Deliveries: Choose specific deliveries if you want to focus on a subset of the driver’s assigned tasks.
- Entire Route: Opt for the entire route if you want to manage or optimize all deliveries assigned to the driver.
Choose Your Action:
Once you’ve selected the deliveries or route, you have two options:
- Map Route: Visualize the selected deliveries or route on a map. This helps to get an overview of the driver’s route and allows for quick adjustments if needed.
- Optimize this Route: Automatically reorganize the deliveries to create an optimal route, minimizing travel time and distance.
Enter Start & End Location:
- To optimize or map the route accurately, enter the starting and ending locations for the route. This ensures the system has all necessary information to provide the best results.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and optimize the routes and deliveries for each driver, making it easy to adjust for efficiency and time-saving.
Features:
- Map Route: Show a visual map with routes connecting delivery stops in an optimal sequence.
- Auto-Updated Tracking:
- Estimated Gas Costs: Calculate based on route distance.
- Miles: Display estimated total mileage for the delivery route.
- Estimated Delivery Time: Show approximate delivery times based on travel distance and traffic conditions.
Implementation Tips:
- Mapping Integration: Use Google Maps to integrate a dynamic map view, displaying a connected route of delivery stops.
- Cost and Mileage Calculations: Define cost estimations based on mileage, and set up live updates if available (via Google Maps Distance Matrix or similar service).
