How To Start Planning

  1. Click on Plan & Optimize.

    Once the planning is completed, the rows will turn pale green, with the relevant information such as Run, Seq and ETA being generated.

      Notes:

    • The Run refers to the route planned for the driver.
    • The Seq refers to the Sequence/Order of the stop in the run. Your driver may follow this sequence number to perform the optimized delivery.
    • If there are some stops that are “unserved" some of the reasons might be too few vehicles or not enough time to complete all the stops.
  2. To export the data out, you may click on the Export button, and select Export to CSV.

    Notes:

  3. To view the locations of the stops on the map, click on Map > Select a run number.
