Using the 'planning flow suggestion' feature optimises order combinations based on vehicle capacity and location. This feature helps with challenges like high order volumes and resource compatibility to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
The planning flow provides suggestions based on the available capacity in vehicles and planned locations. The suggestions are exposed in two directions:
Planning → to plan: From a planned trip, open the stop actions button. Use the ‘Find nearby’ function and choose either collect or delivery within one of the given distances.
This will create a temporary view on your to plan table that combines your existing filters with an additional filter containing:
The distance from the location you selected
The current available capacity in your truck (if applicable)
An explanation of the applied filter is shown in the temporary view’s name:
To plan → planning: From the order list, select 1 row in the 'To plan' table, then click on the ‘Find nearby trips’ dropdown. Filter your planning view on a given distance from the collect or delivery location of the selected to plan order. Trips that match will show and the order can be added.
