May 2021 Product Updates

Route Scheduling with ETAs + Better Route Time calculations!

After you create a route, you can use our new route scheduling feature to select the date and time your driver should leave. Once a date/time is selected, the stop list will update with Estimated Times of Arrival (ETAs) for each stop. Drivers can see this ETA for each stop in their driver view:

Not only that, we’ve also improved our route time calculations and have applied these recalculations to all of your existing routes, including your edited ones!  Let us know how this helps improve your fine-grain route planning!

New Route Page Header

We rejigged our route page header. Now you can rename, schedule and navigate multiple generated routes in one row.

For those running COD deliveries, we’ve added a Total Price breakdown of payment statuses beneath your list of stops.

Attach Multiple Proof of Delivery Photos

To help with more complex delivery workflows we've added the ability to attach up to four photos as proof of delivery to a customer's order. Your drivers can also attach an optional note. The links to these images will be attached to your order in Shopify, and you can even include them in your customer confirmation emails. Multi-photo Proof of Delivery is now available on our Growth plans.
