Product Updates

Route groups

We've improved workflows for adding new routes to existing route groups. After selecting route(s) and clicking Add route to group, you'll be taken to a new page where you can filter existing route groups, and click the plus icon on the left-hand side to immediately add the route(s) to the route group of your choice:

The performance enhancements announced earlier this week apply to this workflow as well, with up to 98% faster loading and adding speeds, particularly when working with larger, more complex route groups.

Route printing

When printing routes, you can now optionally include Customer name, Customer email, and/or Customer phone within the List of stops printout; Shipping phone can now also be included, particularly useful for orders where the recipient may not be the same individual who placed the order (i.e. gift deliveries). These variables will now display for both Shopify-native orders, as well as imported stops or manually created custom stops:

*Updated from a previous version to include optional phone variables.

Delivery Driver mobile app version 1.0.43

Version 1.0.43 of the Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android. This release largely consists of maintenance updates, and users should not experience any noticeable impact when interacting with the app compared to the previous version.

Performance improvements

We've made several adjustments to the infrastructure powering EasyRoutes, resulting in significant improvements to the loading speed of route groups.  Users with larger, more complex route groups will experience up to a 98% reduction in the load time of route groups; smaller, less complex route groups will also load at least 90% faster than prior to this update. Regardless of size, route groups will now load almost instantaneously instead of displaying a loading spinner for multiple seconds before snapping into place.

Users should refresh any browser windows with an active EasyRoutes session to ensure these performance improvements have taken effect.

EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app - version 1.0.42

Version 1.0.42 of the Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android, including the following fixes and improvements:

• More robust support for devices running the app on iOS 17.
• Fix for inconsistent user interface display when device configured to utilize certain accessibility features and/or increased system font sizes.

Drivers will need to update to the latest version of the app (v1.0.42) in order to take advantage of updated functionality within the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app.

We've made a few adjustments to packing slip display settings for improved customization - update these display preferences from your EasyRoutes Settings > Packing slips and labels tab, within the Packing slip options section:

• New Notes/Instructions size setting allows you to customize the font size of any order notes and additional instructions included on printed packing slips.
• Additional instructions now supports manual line breaks and white space, and will appear on packing slips in the same manner as input here.
• Additional instructions can now be included on packing slips independently, i.e. they no longer require Order/stop notes to be enabled in order to display on printed packing slips.

We've added a new setting to enable discounted item prices and individual item subtotals on packing slips. When enabled, items with a discount applied will display with their discounted price next to their original price, which will be crossed out; the subtotal value, when enabled, will also be calculated based on the discounted price if applicable:

Enable both options from your EasyRoutes Settings > Packing slips and labels tab, within the Packing slip options section - enable If discounted, show original price as well to display discounted prices; enable Total item price to display the Subtotal column:

You can also customize what the total item price column will be titled as (default Subtotal) by modifying the Label for Item Subtotal Price setting within the Packing slip and label text section found a little bit further down the same Settings page:
