When planning your future deliveries, one of the most useful tools available to you is the weekly reservation feature. Instead of having to create the same delivery every week, you can simply use this feature to automatically reserve deliveries for you seven days in advance.
Why is this important?
If you expect to have deliveries on the same day every week, utilizing the weekly reservations feature available on your dashboard will assist you in planning your routes well in advance. This will automate your booking process and enable you to secure the best drivers for your deliveries.
Step by step:
1. Create a new delivery
Just like any other delivery, you’ll start to create a weekly delivery using the button "schedule a new delivery”, selecting the pick-up time, choosing the vehicle type, adding the stops, and then clicking on the 'reserve' button.
2. Reserve weekly
Once your delivery is already created, ensure that it displays the status "looking for a driver match" and then click on the "Reserve weekly" option.
3. Choose the days that you’ll need deliveries
Choose the days on which you require deliveries, and they will be automatically created for you seven days in advance to ensure that we have sufficient time to find a driver for your delivery.
4. Copy the stops
Also, on the same pop-up, you must select whether you want the same stops copied to the weekly deliveries or not. Even if you need to change the stops every week, utilizing this feature is still a good idea to automate the delivery creation process on a weekly basis.
Using the weekly reservation feature is one of the best ways to secure a consistent driver. This increases the chances of successful deliveries and helps you expand and enhance your driver network.
