Now it's time to dig into the most important part of the app - how to deliver orders. Before you can get started, you need to prepare the route and make sure you have the right items loaded.

Starting the route

When all the orders are scanned, you can start the route. You need to actively confirm the route start in order to move on. From this point, an SMS will be sent to all your customers with tracking information.

Navigating to the house/apartment

Orders are in the right sequence and the next order will show automatically when the previous one has been completed. The first thing your see is what we call a 'Navigation Card'. This contains the necessary information about how you should get to the delivery address, including:

  • Customer's delivery time window

  • Customer address

  • Planned delivery time

  • Message/note from the customer

  • Link to your preferred navigation app

Scanning the items

When you arrive at the customer's address, a 'Scan Card' will appear instead. Scan the items, either through the camera or manually, and move on to mark them.

Missing items

Items that are not scanned and/or checked will be reported as missing. A message will be prompted in the flow letting you know that there are items that haven't been scanned.

Delivering the orders

You'll now see our 'Delivery Card'. This contains more information about the customer, which is useful when making the delivery, such as:

  • Building type

  • Apartment-specific information (entry code, floor level, name on door)

  • Delivery option

  • Button to call support

  • Button to call customer

Make your way to the customer's door and mark it either as delivered or unable to deliver. Based on your selection, you need to follow the respective flow.

Delivered

When an order has been marked as 'Delivered', you're facing a few different options on how it was delivered:

  • Handed over in person

  • Handed over in person with signature.

  • Delivered outside

Some orders can only be delivered if the recipient provides their signature. The option 'Delivered outside' is then disabled. Some orders require proof of delivery and need to be delivered either outside (with photo proof) or handed over in person with a signature.

Unable to deliver

If you, for some reason, not are able to deliver the order. This will prompt you the option to choose from four different alternatives.

  • Wrong address

  • Customer not home

  • Wrong entry code

  • Other

These are the three most common reasons an order can't be delivered. We've also added a fourth option with a text field if none of the other reasons fit.

Wrapping it up

Once the last delivery is done, you need to drive back to the depot with your returns.

Each item that has not been delivered needs to be scanned when you return to the depot. If you don’t have any items to return, move to the next step.

Feedback time

Well done! Your route is completed and you can provide feedback in the comment section. This will help improve future deliveries as well.
