Additional Stops

This article will show you how to manage your additional stops in a shipment.

How to Add a Stop

Note: You can only add additional stops after you save the shipment.

  • The "Add Stop" button will be visible to the right of the shipment summary's First Pickup / Last Drop Information section.
  • Add Stop Modal utilizes your Address Book to add your saved contacts easily.
  • An additional stop can be a Pick, a Drop, or Both

  • Once you add the first stop, the system will create a new section called Stops, and from there, you can add other stops if necessary.
  • The additional stops will be listed, and you will see blue arrows so you can easily rearrange them if needed.

Optimize Route

To optimize the route for your shipment stops, simply click on the "Optimize Route" option. The system will analyze the stops and suggest the most efficient route to take. If you accept the suggestion, the system will automatically rearrange the stops for you.

Merging Stops

You can merge shipments with multiple stops to the same location by clicking on the "Merge Stop" option in the shipment stops after creating the Parent Shipment.

  • You can choose the Target Stop that will remain, then select the stops you'd like to merge with it from the checklist.

Note: When merging stops, any stop reference, note, or instruction data will be added to the target stop.

Stop Reference Numbers

  • Add reference numbers to your stops from the Edit Shipment Stop modal by clicking the Add Reference Numbers option at the bottom.

Use the reference numbers in Content Templates to customize your shipment documents using the following HTML codes.

Note: When selecting reference numbers, all of them will be displayed in the shipment documents. You can choose to display reference numbers for pickup, delivery, or additional stops. Alternatively, you can show all reference numbers for all types of stops.
