Creating & Assigning Routes

Routes group multiple delivery orders into an optimized sequence for a driver to fulfill. Route planning reduces driving time, fuel costs, and ensures timely deliveries.

Creating a route

1. Go to Routes in the dashboard
2. Click Create Route
3. Select the date for the route
4. Choose orders to include:
   • Manual selection — Pick orders from the list
   • Auto-suggest — Scrollengine suggests orders based on proximity, time slots, and driver location
5. Review the route on the map
6. Click Create

Route optimization

When you add orders to a route, Scrollengine optimizes the stop sequence to minimize total travel distance. The optimization considers:

• Start location — Your store or warehouse address
• Stop locations — Customer delivery addresses
• Time windows — Orders with earlier time slots are scheduled first
• Return to base — Optionally include a return trip to the store

Assigning a driver

1. Open the route
2. Click Assign Driver
3. Select a driver from the dropdown (shows only available drivers)
4. The driver receives a notification in the mobile app with route details

Route details

Each route shows:

Field	Description
Route name	Auto-generated or custom name
Date	Delivery date
Driver	Assigned driver
Stops	Number of delivery stops
Estimated distance	Total route distance
Estimated time	Estimated total travel time
Status	Not Started, In Progress, Completed

Managing route stops

After creating a route, you can:

• Reorder stops — Drag stops to change the sequence
• Add orders — Include additional orders in the route
• Remove orders — Take orders off the route (they return to the unassigned pool)
• Split route — Break a large route into two smaller ones

Route status tracking

Track route progress in real-time:

• See which stops have been completed
• View the driver's current location on the map
• Get ETAs for remaining stops
• Receive alerts if a route is running behind schedule
