You can simplify your customer management and operations processes by allowing your network associate customers to choose which vehicles and drivers they want allotted for a duty.
Go to masters - customer - select your network associate customer - edit - under ‘Booking/Duties settings’ select - ‘Allow associate to select vehicle and drivers’ & ‘ Auto-accept incoming booking request’- under the pop-up select all vehicles/drivers or specific vehicles/drivers that should be visible to the customer - save
By selecting Auto-accept incoming booking request, once a customer sends a booking request it will automatically go to Booked status and allow the customer to allot the duty to a driver and vehicle of their choice.
If you have selected specific vehicles and drivers under ‘Network associate allotment option’ your customer will only be able to see those vehicle and drivers during allotment.
Note:
1- In Business settings - under Duties/Booking if you have un-ticked option ‘Allow allotment to the driver/vehicle with expired documents’ - your customer will not be able to allot the duty.
2- If ‘Auto-accept incoming booking request’ is not selected under Business settings, when customer sends a booking they will not be able to allot till the booking has been accepted by you.
3- If there is nothing selected under ‘Network associate allotment option’ then your customer will not be able to allot duty.
Once your customer creates a booking request, the booking will be visible under Supplier Accepted to your customer. To select driver and vehicle the customer can click on the small gear icon next to the duty - select Allot Associate’s vehicle and driver - a pop up will appear for the customer to choose Vehicle and Driver.
This allotment will be visible to you and your customer through the activity log
Once a duty is allotted, you can continue with the duty completion as normal.
Note:
For Corporates with multiple suppliers, once you have sent a booking request to a network supplier you will be able to allot duty to the supplier Vehicle and Driver at the same time.
This simplified allotment process will allow your customer to choose a driver and/or vehicle as per their preference, maintaining quality and removing the need for you to manage allotment manually.
