In the following video we discuss splitting deliveries across multiple trucks and days using the delivery scheduler function to optimize delivery logistics.
Splitting Deliveries Across Multiple Trucks and Days
Key Steps:
Access the Order: Open the order that needs to be split across multiple trucks or days.
View Order Items: Click on the option to view the items on the order to identify the products that need to be split.
Change Delivery Dates: To change the delivery date of a specific item, click on the item and select a new date from the calendar. Assign the item to a different truck if needed.
Reassign Items to Trucks: To reassign an item to a different truck, click on the item and select the desired truck from the options available.
Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, click on the save button to apply the split across multiple trucks or days.
Cautionary Notes:
Delivery windows set up for the original order will not automatically transfer to the split items. It is important to manually set up the delivery windows for each split item to avoid conflicts.
Ensure that the logistics of splitting deliveries across multiple trucks or days align with the business's operational capabilities and customer expectations.
Tips for Efficiency:
Plan ahead and assess the need to split deliveries based on truck capacity, delivery schedules, and customer requirements.
Communicate with the delivery team to ensure smooth coordination and execution of split deliveries.
Regularly review and adjust delivery schedules to optimize efficiency and customer satisfaction.
By following these steps, team members can effectively split deliveries across multiple trucks and days using the delivery scheduler function to enhance operational flexibility and customer service.
