How to reorder or reverse stops on your route

If you are not happy with your optimized route, you can reorder your stops in two ways:

How to manually reorder stops on your route

  • Tap > Refine and then > Manually order route

  • On the map draw a circle around the group of stops you wish to arrive at first

  • Next, draw a circle around the group of stops you wish to arrive at second

  • Draw as many groups of stops as you like in the order you want to attempt them

  • Any ungrouped stops will automatically be added to the route between groups in the most appropriate position

  • When you are happy with your groups tap > Reoptmize route

  • Tap > Confirm route to start your route

  • Tap > Continue editing if you want to make more changes

How to reverse the order of stops on your route

  • Tap Refine and then > Reverse route

  • This will reverse the order of stops and direction of your route


How to add sticky access instructions/information to a stop

You can add access instructions to a stop eg a gate code or location of a key.

The info you add will stick to that address. Whenever you add that address again in the future the access instructions will be there.

  • On a stop click > Access instructions

  • Add whatever info you want in the text field

  • Select 'save as default for this address' and the info will stick to that stop forever

  • You can edit or clear access instructions at any time


How to color code your stops

If you have certain stops that you want to highlight on your route you can now give them a different color to make them stand out.

  • Tap on a stop to edit it

  • Tap the default blue color icon in the top left

  • Choose a different color for that stop

  • Color coded stops will show as the chosen color on the map, and the progress bar

  • Mark a stop as a Pickup and it will automatically change to Purple

  • Mark a stop as having more than one package and it will automatically change to Teal


How to add notes or a photo to a stop

You can add notes and photos to a stop, which can be useful if you need to remember a gate code or want to take a photo of a package to record the condition it is in.

  • Tap on a stop to edit it

  • Tap > Add notes to add a note

  • Tap the camera icon to take a photo to add to that stop


How to easily find packages in your vehicle when you arrive at a stop

You can add information about where each parcel is in your vehicle to make it easier to find at the delivery address.

  • Tap on a stop to edit it

  • Tap > Package finder

  • Here you will see the Package ID that has been created for this stop

  • Select a package description

  • Tap > Small/Medium/Large, Box/Bag/Letter

  • Select a place in the vehicle for the package

  • Tap > Front/Middle/Back, Left/Right, Floor/Shelf

  • Tap > Done

  • On a stop you will now be able to see the package description and location eg Small Box BLS = Small Box Back, Left, Shelf


How to add multiple packages to the same stop

If you have more than 1x package for the same stop you can mark this on the stop

  • Tap on a stop to edit it

  • Next to Packages tap + or - to set the number of packages

  • For stops with multiple packages, it can also be useful to add notes or take photos


How to mark a stop to be delivered first, last or anytime on your route

You can choose single or multiple stops to attempt first or last on your route.

  • Tap on a stop to edit it

  • Next to Order tap > First, Auto, or Last

  • Tap > First and that stop will be attempted at the start of the route

  • Tap > Last and that stop will be attempted at the end of the route

  • If you don't select First/Last that stop by default will remain marked as Auto

  • Auto stops are fitted into the route in the most efficient order during optimization


How to mark a stop as a delivery or pickup

You can set a stop type if you have a combination of deliveries and pickups on your route.


How to set a delivery time window

10am and 11am - This stop will have an ETA between 10am-11am
