Update as of APRIL 2024:
Introducing a new feature in the system: route comparison. To use this, all
you need is to have version 4.6.0 of the driver app installed. The system will
then compare your planned route with the actual one you take, displaying it even if the manifest has not yet been
completed. This feature is designed to make your deliveries more efficient and
allow dispatchers to track your progress better. They can make any necessary
adjustments to the route in real-time, ensuring your deliveries are on track.
The latest system update includes a new feature that allows you to set a mandatory requirement for a valid driver's license. This feature ensures that only drivers with valid licenses are assigned to manifests. A driver needs to have a valid license to access the manifest.
To enable this feature, go to the settings and select the option "Valid driving licenses are mandatory for operating vehicles and processing orders." If you need to make an exception for any particular driver, you can add the driver's name to the list by clicking the "Add Driver" button. This will allow you to assign manifests to drivers who don't have a valid driver's license but have been granted an exemption.
This new feature ensures that only drivers with valid licenses operate vehicles and process orders. It enhances the safety and compliance measures of the system and ensures that all drivers are authorized to operate vehicles before they are assigned manifests.
