Delivery and logistics

Your own vans are part of the system, not an afterthought.

If you deliver on your own vehicles, the round is as much a part of the job as the cutting list. Gydon plans it from the orders you already have, optimises the order of the drops, hands it to the driver's phone and takes the proof of delivery back.

Build the round from real orders

Drops come from orders that are ready to go out, so a round is never a separate list that somebody has to keep in step.

Optimise the order of the stops

Multi-stop optimisation works out a sensible sequence and reports the distance and time for the round before anyone gets in a van.

Dispatch it to the driver

A dispatched run appears on the driver's phone as today's work, in the order it was planned, with navigation to each drop.

Dispatch

Shipments, returns and the paperwork

A shipment records what actually left, in how many parcels, on which vehicle. Delivery notes and labels print from your own templates. When something comes back, a return is raised against the shipment it came from, so the stock and the credit both land in the right place.

  • Part shipments, so an order can go out in stages
  • Vehicles with their own capacities and rounds
  • Third party carriers alongside your own fleet
  • Run sheets that print with a scannable reference on them

Planning

The whole week's rounds in one view

Routes are planned by date and vehicle, so you can see what is going out tomorrow, what is not yet on a van, and which round is already full. Depots, round trips and stop sequences are all held on the route rather than in somebody's head.

On the road

The driver app is a separate licence and a separate page, because what happens in the cab deserves its own thought.
