What is Auto Booking In in ROUTE?

route22.png

This function will automatically send a booking in request by email to the delivery location to inform them when the delivery is coming, from who and for what.

Why would i use it?

During the routing and scheduling phase a common requirement in many operations is the requirement to book in the delivery at the delivery location.

This is uasually a manual process of either sending am email or using the phone to call them.

Both are time consuming in an already hectic day.

​

With Auto Booking In, the user can create the perfect route, add the prefered delivery window and Auto Booking will do the rest for you...
