To make fulfilling orders even more flexible in EasyRoutes, now you can select exactly when to mark your orders as fulfilled (e.g. fulfill orders when they are Delivered, or when they are marked as Out for Delivery) when you use EasyRoutes notifications.
You can also edit any stop and select when that particular stop should be marked as fulfilled, and you can also disable fulfillment completely if you want to fulfill orders outside of our app.
Find it in your EasyRoutes Settings > General.
Now you can plan routes using the delivery time window information collected from Shopify’s most popular date and time picker apps. Just set the start date and time in your Route Options when creating routes and we’ll detect any time window information and take it into account when optimizing stops.
Manually add custom items to any of the stops inside your route by editing the stop and filling out the Custom items form. And custom items will, of course, also show up in your driver’s app.
Now you can schedule routes at route creation. Setting a start time at this stage will take into account any time window information your orders have when we optimize your routes.
You can also set whether your routes should avoid u-turn and continue straight after making a stop.
Also, we've updated some of our other route options, and now you can set max duration, item and stop limits on a single route.
We’ve added a Delivery Status column to your routes page so you can see the status of your orders at a glance.
New features and improvements, including the ability to view inventory by stop order, see total drive time for each delivery, and view routes planned with the new time window feature. We have also addressed bugs and made performance fixes to make loading faster and scrolling smoother.
Here are more improvements that we've made to EasyRoutes:
We've added a powerful new tool to help with planning routes and prioritizing stops: Time windows. Now when you edit a stop you can specify any time constraints for that particular stop.
Once you schedule your route you can then use this feature to prioritize your stops. Time windows can also be open ended such as such as being set for 10:00 am or earlier, or 1:00 pm or later.
Once you've made your edits, re-optimize your route and EasyRoutes will minimize your overall driving time while making sure you meet your time window requirements.
We've rejigged and redesigned our settings to make things easier to find and understand.
We've also added a new Driver Settings tab with options that directly affect your drivers, such as requiring proof of delivery before they can mark an order as delivered.
We've added a tab to all route groups and routes that shows up if you have any rejected stops.
To make it easier to correct these issues we now show the reason why a stop was rejected. Just edit the stop to correct any errors and we'll help you add it back in to a route.
EasyRoutes now also allows you to customize which fields you want to export.
In addition to copying exported data to your clipboard, you can now export stop and route data directly to a downloadable CSV.
EasyRoutes Delivery Driver v1.0.18 offers new features and improvements including the ability to view inventory by stop order, see total drive time for each delivery, and view routes planned with the our new time window feature.
We have also squashed some bugs and made performance fixes to make loading faster and scrolling smoother.
We've redesigned the pages you see when viewing routes to make planning your deliveries even easier.
Apart from moving various elements around to make them more accessible, we've also added a couple cool new features we think you're going to like.
At the top of any route or route group you will now see some tabs:
The Stops tab shows the map and your list of stops. Here is where you can edit your routes before dispatching.
The route inventory which formerly sat way at the bottom of the page now has it's own Inventory tab.
And finally, we've added an Add Orders tab which allows you to visually add orders to routes without having to go back to the Select Orders page.
New EasyRoutes users will now see a Setup Guide that offers a step-by-step walk-through of how to get started with our app.
For those of you who are already using EasyRoutes, you can re-launch this Setup guide in your EasyRoutes settings if you would like a refresher!
Now when you import orders using a CSV you can preview them on a map first.
We've created a brand new live print preview mode where you can turn on/off the elements and information you want to see and view the changes live so you know exactly what is going to be printed.
To better support businesses delivering across time zones you can now specify a time zone when scheduling routes.
We've improved the "Add to existing route" page so that you can filter for the route that you're looking for, and review the orders that you want to send on a map.
We've also updated our "Send to routes" screen to make it easier to send orders from one route to another.
When you send orders to another route you also now have the option to send them over as new stops.
We've made our packing slips and printing labels more customizable, including the ability to specify a width for your store logo.
Create, save and re-use delivery zones on the map to better help with visual planning and route creation.
Click on the Delivery Zones icon to create a zone.
After saving your areas, you can access them by clicking on that same icon in the future. You can use your delivery zones as selection areas to keep or discard orders when creating your routes.
We've made a bunch of tweaks to make life easier for delivery drivers.
Our map's order selection tools are available on individual routes to make route editing even quicker.
Use these tools to quickly remove stops, send a selection of stops to another route, or send those stops to another route within the group.
