August 2022 Product Updates

‍Dispatch Links (a.k.a. Driver Self-Assign to Routes)

Now you can generate a route link that allows your drivers to assign themselves. We call these Dispatch Links.

You can share a Dispatch Link with any activated driver in your store and they can preview the route and claim it if they want to assign themselves. Deactivated drivers can also claim a route if there are empty active driver seats available.

Once a driver claims a route, they will show up as assigned to that route in EasyRoutes.

These Dispatch Links can also be shared with others and viewed on the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app as a read-only version of the delivery route and route inventory.

New Driver Management Tab & Features

We've uplifted and Driver Management from the Settings to it's own top-level tab and have beefed it up with more information to help you with managing your drivers.

You can apply date ranges and sort and filter to get the information you need. We also provide a quick shortcut to view all your driver's routes on the Routes tab.
