When customers place an order, companies need to find the best fleet member to fulfill the order. A key step in that process is sharing the orders with drivers who are eligible to see who would like to fulfill it. For drivers to make an informed decision to accept or decline a particular assignment, the business needs to share the following:
- Estimated work route
- Estimated distance
- Other helpful information, like compensation and skill requirements
The HyperTrack route estimate feature lets you do just that in an API call.
How does this work?
Businesses can send HyperTrack the list of orders they need to complete in the sequence they have planned and their estimated service times. HyperTrack will generate a route estimate with the estimated distance and duration which companies can broadcast to drivers, who then can make a choice to accept the assignment. Operations teams can then decide which driver to dispatch the order to based on who accepts it first or other custom business logic if multiple drivers accept the same assignment.
