Question 2

What is Locations? And how can I read the locations article sequentially?

Accepted Answer

This guide provides a brief overview of places and how you can follow the locations articles to learn and benefit from it.

Introduction:

Places play a crucial role in the logistics process, serving as central points where drivers drop off orders after pickup. Subsequently, the same or different drivers may pick up orders from these locations for delivery tasks(Via hub orders). Moreover, these locations act as the starting/ending points for (A to B orders). When you select a place as the starting point in the Vehicle or Dispatching section, the order list will be optimized accordingly. The orders will be prioritized based on their proximity to the selected place. The closest order will be shown at the top, followed by the next closest order, and so on. The remaining orders will be displayed in a similar manner.

Accepted Answer

This guide offers a quick overview of about understanding app preference settings.

Introduction to app preference settings:

Dropboy offers app preference settings that enforce procedures for drivers in the mobile application. These settings include 'Picture required', 'GPS tracking enforced', and 'Delivery sequence enforced'. These settings apply company-wide, mandating driver compliance with taking pictures, enabling GPS tracking, and completing tasks in sequential order. Let's explore these settings in detail.

The 'Picture Required' setting ensures that drivers must take a picture before completing an order. If the driver does not take a picture, they will be unable to complete the order, and an alert will be displayed on the app.

2. GPS tracking enforced

The 'GPS Tracking Enforced' setting mandates that the driver's location must be enabled throughout the order process. if not then they will be unable to complete the order, and an alert will be displayed on the app.

3. Delivery sequence enforced
