All-new map with order selection tools

This month we introduced a brand new look and feel to our EasyRoutes map to better help you plan and manage your orders.
‍

The EasyRoutes Local Delivery order dashboard in Shopify Admin with the new map of numbered order pins across Toronto above the route options

Apart from being speedier and easier on the eyes, we've also added selection tools to help you plan visually on the orders dashboard.

The orders map with a polygon drawn around a group of pins and the selection tools in the toolbar down the right-hand side

Select individual orders or draw polygons to select a group of pins. Once you've made a selection you can choose whether to discard or keep only those orders on the map.

Auto-assign drivers when creating a route

In your order page route options you can now pre-assign drivers to the routes you about to generate.

The Create 2 routes for menu with “Create and auto-assign routes to these drivers” and two drivers ticked

Customize all your options, save a Custom View, and the next time you are in EasyRoutes all you need to do is click on your View and hit the Create Routes button.

Sort and filter by delivery dates

Sort and filter your orders by delivery dates collected through popular apps in the Shopify App Store on your Order Dashboard.

The order dashboard's order list with a Delivery Date column showing dates such as 2022-12-27 and 2022-12-17

EasyRoutes now supports the following date collection apps:

  • Supertime by Roundtrip
  • Store Pickup + Delivery by Zapiet

Find EasyRoutes tabs in your Shopify Admin sidebar

EasyRoutes' tabs can now be found in your Shopify Admin sidebar (or at the top of the page in the Shopify app).

The EasyRoutes Local Delivery tabs in the Shopify Admin sidebar, with an arrow at the “Pin to your navigation” icon, and the same tabs in the Shopify app's menu

Pin our app to access your routes even quicker!

Improved batch actions for editing routes

We've improved access to batch actions for route editing and added the ability to select and view a subset of orders in your orders page:

A route's stop list with 3 selected and the Actions menu open to Edit stop times, Send to route, View in orders page and Remove stops

Indicator of multiple stops at same location

We've added a small indicator letting you know if any of the stops in your route are at the same location (your driver also sees this information in their driver app).

A route's stop list where two stops at the same address carry a blue dot and a tooltip reading “Multiple stops at this location”

Improved CSV import

For Premium Plan users working with orders outside of Shopify, you can now drag and drop your CSV orders into EasyRoutes. We will also attempt to re-use your mapped columns if you are uploading a file of the same column format as your previous upload.
