In the following video we discuss efficiently assigning scheduled deliveries to specific trucks using the delivery scheduler. The video explores accessing the delivery scheduler, assigning orders to trucks, viewing assigned orders, route planning and optimizing routes.
Assigning Orders to Individual Trucks in Delivery Scheduler
Key Steps:
Open the delivery scheduler and select the desired date.
Identify orders that are not assigned to any truck (black icons).
Check the checkbox next to each order you want to assign to a truck.
Click on the green "Assign" button.
Choose the truck you want to assign the orders to and click "Assign."
Confirm that the orders are now displayed in blue, indicating they are assigned to the selected truck.
Repeat the process for any remaining unassigned orders.
Use the drop-down menu to view individual trucks' schedules if needed.
Cautionary Notes:
Double-check the assignments before finalizing to avoid errors.
Ensure that the selected truck has the capacity for the assigned orders.
Pay attention to the route displayed for each truck to optimize efficiency.
Tips for Efficiency:
Utilize the color-coding (red for assigned, black for unassigned, blue for assigned to a truck) for quick visual reference.
Take advantage of the estimated travel times provided to optimize the route for each truck.
Regularly review and adjust assignments based on the changing schedule or new orders.
