Streamline your deliveries with our Route Planner and Driver App Optimization tools. Learn how to use them effectively for efficient scheduling and delivery management.
In this article, we'll cover:
Delivery Printout Page - Route Planner
To access the Delivery Printout page, navigate to Pickups > Delivery Printout.
Within the new page, click on the 'Route Planner' button to access the route planning feature.
On the Route Planner page, you can filter based on:
Routes.
Order Type (business account orders, customer account orders, or all).
Routing (Google Maps with a maximum of 25 waypoints or CleanCloud Route Pro with a maximum of 150 waypoints).
Engine type; if on Route Pro (Combustion vs Electric).
You can also input your start and end points, along with any waypoints. Route Pro users can view map pins of all order addresses before running the route optimizer.
Once satisfied, click 'Submit'.
🗒️ Pro Tip: In the POS Route Planner, optimize multiple routes simultaneously by selecting one or more routes. This is handy, especially when a single driver is covering multiple routes in a shift.
Send to Driver
The system permits you to send the created planner to a driver or any other staff member with access to the Driver App.
Re-arrange Orders
After running the route optimization, you can drag and drop the orders to re-order them before sending them to the Driver. This is a great option to change the existing route order according to your preferences.

Navigate to Settings > Maps to choose your preferred service (Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps).
On the home screen, see 'P' for pickups and 'D' for deliveries. Tap the selected orders; a tick mark will appear.

The optimized route displays; press 'Accept', reflecting changes on the main page.
