How to move unassigned stops between routes
How drivers can move unassigned stops from the unassigned stops list onto a route by scanning the package's barcode label
Unassigned stops with a Barcode ID can be automatically moved from the unassigned stops list to a route created by a Driver.
The Dispatcher uploads stop data containing Barcode IDs via spreadsheet or via an API integration
The Barcode ID label is attached to the physical package
The Driver creates a route on their driver app, and they have the option to add a stop by scanning the barcode label on the package
The Driver scans the barcode label on the package. That stop is then automatically moved from the unassigned stops list and added to their route
How drivers can mark packages as delivered by scanning barcodes
Stops with a barcode ID attached can be scanned at the point of delivery by a driver to mark that delivery as completed.
This permission is on by default.
To turn it off, go to > Operations > Driver settings
The Driver arrives at the stop and taps > Delivered
The barcode scanner is automatically triggered
It displays the stop address and barcode ID to scan
Scan the barcode on the package
Collect proof of delivery if required
On the Dispatcher dashboard to move unassigned stops to a route:
Select the unassigned stops you want to add to a route from the list
Click > Assign to route
Select a route from the calendar or create a new route to add them to
To move stops from a route back to the unassigned stops list:
