Hi there,

We’ve made some exciting updates to the Marketplace Orders page so you can easily plan your day by having the most helpful and up-to-date information at your fingertips!

• The orders page will automatically refresh to ensure you’re seeing the most up-to-date delivery details.

• You’ll see both the pickup and drop-off addresses so you don’t have to spend extra time clicking into an order to find the address information.

• Once your driver is en route, you’ll see their ETA appear so you can be prepared for their arrival.

• In case your driver is delayed, a clock with extra details will appear so you’ll know exactly when to expect them.

• A shortcut menu next to each order gives you quick access to Repeat, Schedule a Return Trip, or Cancel an order.

• The order form page is now tablet and mobile-friendly! So if you're on the far side of the warehouse, it'll be quick and easy to see the status of all your orders.

Want to receive discounts on all your orders? Sign up for a Custom Pricing package and enjoy discounts on every order. Custom pricing makes the delivery process a breeze with centralized billing and allows you to connect to our API, making order creation even easier.

🚗 Dispatch is constantly making behind-the-scenes improvements to ensure you receive the best possible service. As part of this effort, we’re changing the way drivers are assigned to orders. Historically, the closest driver would be assigned as soon as the order was placed. Now, we’re taking a few extra minutes to group similar orders together before assigning a driver. Doing this optimizes each driver’s route by reducing miles driven so they can deliver your order faster and helps lower emissions by improving fuel efficiency.

If you have multiple orders that need to be picked up from your location, we’ll group them together so you only need to meet and communicate with one driver instead of multiple drivers. This saves you time so you can focus on other aspects of your business.

🕝 If you don’t have a few extra minutes to spare, try the Dedicated Vehicle Add-On or use the Hotshot service. Dedicated Vehicle and Hotshot orders are not bundled and a driver is assigned immediately.

Automated route creation and route optimization

• The platform will automatically distribute all deliveries to active vehicles with the click of a button.
• Further optimize those routes with another click of a button.

Customize vehicle & driver assignments

• Ensure the right driver is assigned to the correct vehicle for the day.
• Assign specific deliveries to a particular vehicle.

Customize your map view

• Select your Route Style to view your deliveries with a straight line view or see the exact route your driver will take.
• Use the Filter to choose which vehicle routes you would like to see.

Reports help you track delivery costs

• Enter variable costs like driver pay, gas price, vehicle maintenance cost, and more to fully understand the cost of each order.
• Additional reports help you understand delivery logistics like mileage by day, route times, route lengths, and deliveries by vehicle to help you better manage and forecast your route planning and costs.

Send overflow orders to Marketplace

• Down a vehicle or driver for the day but still have deliveries to make? Easily send overflow orders to Dispatch Marketplace and our team of professional independent contractor drivers will quickly deliver your orders. You and your customers will be provided with proof of delivery with a required photo and optional signature.
