Scheduling with AI is a feature that optimizes routes for Delivery Tickets. Reviewing and saving AI-suggested schedules can help cut down on manual routing time while keeping full control over final assignments.
Scheduling Jobs
- From the Jobs list, select the checkbox next to each Delivery Job to include in the schedule.
Note: Jobs that are In Process, Completed, or without geolocation cannot be scheduled and will be excluded from the AI optimized results. - Select the Ellipsis icon, then choose Schedule with AI.
- The Job Scheduler window opens. Complete the following fields:
- Scheduled Date – Defaults to today’s date. Select today or a future date using the date picker.
- Schedule Based On - Select the scheduling mode.
- Quickest Time – Optimizes routes to complete all selected jobs in the shortest total time.
- Fewest Drivers – Optimizes routes to complete all selected jobs using the fewest number of Drivers possible.
- Delivery Drivers – Select one or more drivers to assign jobs to. Available Drivers are filtered based on Personalize settings.
- For each selected Driver, establish the following:
- Working Hours – Defaults to 8 hours. Adjust as needed.
- Location – The starting location for the driver. Defaults in the following order:
- Default Location of the Delivery Driver if available and geolocated.
- If not available, the default location of the associated Vehicle if available and geolocated.
- If neither is available, no selection defaults, and a Location must be chosen manually.
Note: The Location drop-down includes geolocated locations from Personalize as well as any location associated with the Driver or Vehicle.
- Once a Scheduled Date, Working Hours, and Location are established for all selected Drivers, select Create Schedule to pass the jobs and Driver information to the AI routing tool in Agvance SKY Dispatch.
Note: Select Cancel at any time to exit the Job Scheduler window without creating a schedule.
Reviewing Schedules
After creating a Schedule with AI, the AI routing tool calculates a proposed schedule. Reviewing and adjusting the suggested schedule before assigning helps confirm routes and driver assignments are correct.
- After selecting Create Schedule, a loading screen displays while the schedule is calculated.
Note: This process can take up to a minute. - Once complete, the Schedule screen displays the suggested job order and Driver assignments.
- For each Driver, review the assigned jobs and their sequence. The selected Agvance Location is used as the Start/End location for travel time estimations. Drag and drop jobs to:
- Change the order of jobs within a Driver's day.
- Move jobs to a different Driver.
Note: The Unassigned Jobs row lists jobs that could not be scheduled based on Driver working time restraints. Drag and drop a job from Unassigned Jobs onto a Driver to schedule it.
- Toggle Condense Job Details to show or hide additional information on each job card.
- Select Reset Route to undo changes and restore the originally proposed job assignments.
Note: Reset Route is greyed out until a change has been made. - Select the Map View icon to display routes as a satellite map view. Selecting a different Driver's name chip highlights their route on the map. An "X" pin indicates the Start/End location.
Note: Map View does not allow edits, only viewing. The map refreshes to the latest schedule each time you revisit it after edits on the List View.
- Select Assign Jobs to finalize the schedule.
Note: Select Cancel to exit without assigning the suggested routes.
