Hi,
yes, we confirm that there are some problems in the work of the chat.
Now we are working on a fix.

Thanks stde, good to know it's not us. :-)

New version 1.5 of Logistics Mobile is available.

What's new:

Android:
- Option to restrict access to settings. Set password to secure information and personal configuration.
- Handy images navigation. Use slider to view photos.
- New types of push-notifications. Get notifications on missed orders and unset statuses.

iOS:
- Option to restrict access to settings. Set password to secure information and personal configuration.
- New types of push-notifications. Get notifications on missed orders and unset statuses.
- Digital signature support. Confirm orders with customer signature available as an image.

I think the signature in the reports will be available in one of the following release.

Thanks for feedback. We will consider your proposal.

Please,
describe the problem that the implementation of this function will help to solve?

Team- Great potential for this app.   We have a few challenges that maybe others have looked into:

1- Need a way to recycle missed deliveries into the next days/shift routing plan.  Currently I believe the only work around is to reenter all the orders data as new order. One suggestion is to allow dispatch (not mobile) editing the date field for missed deliveries.  There is no way to connect the first missed delivery with the final delivery record. We are looking at maybe using tags but very difficult. 

2- Need ability to add order to a specific route/vehicle manually after the route has begun. Ideally it would be great if it could auto sequence the order in the route and re-optimize but manual placement is common.  Currently the only way we have found to work around is to create a new single order, route it and send to the driver as new single route.       

3- On "permanent" order types need day of week option to route only on specific days. Very common where routes or jobs are scheduled by day of week.

4- We really need a solution to route multi-stops; example is when customer picks-up order and then drops off same order in another location on same day.  This is very common in expedited and third party consignee deliveries.  Also need designation for pick up vs. delivery.  Again we are playing with tags, but not an easy process.   

Thank you for any suggestions or help.

Hi ,

A suggestion for Wialon Logistics;

For each order

+ Option for the driver / warehouse officer to indicate “ Loading started”  - by pressing a Soft-button for a particular order / orders.

+ Option for the driver / warehouse officer to indicate “ Loading completed” -  by pressing a Soft-button for a particular order / orders

+ Logistics app changes the status as either  Loading started” / “ Loading completed” based on input.

+ Logistics app captures the loading started time and loading completed time and the total loading duration for each order.

Same scenario for order unloading

+ Option for the driver / warehouse officer to indicate “unloading started”  -  by pressing a Soft-button for a particular order / orders.

+ Option for the driver / warehouse officer to to indicate “ unloading completed” - by pressing a Soft-button a particular order / orders.

+ Logistics app captures the unloading started time and unloading completed time and the total unloading duration for each order.

+ Logistics app changes the status as either  Loading started” / “ Loading completed” based on driver’s input.

On Logistics app - option to filter - orders which are currently loading at a certain warehouse.

New version 1.10 of Logistics is available.

What's new:

- We’ve added an option to export a report in PDF format.
- Notifications for dispatchers. On receiving a notification, a dispatcher can now respond to it either by going to the chat with a driver to confirm the details or by clicking on the notification which will forward you to the current order in Routes mode.
- We’ve supplemented Planning tab with a “Routing source” option, allowing to choose a preferable routing provider to generate and optimize a planning route. Apart from Gurtam Maps, we’ve added a “light” type of optimization – “without routing” – which does not consider routing, e.g. it calculates the distance between orders in a straight line (Gurtam Maps are not used). You can also set an average speed to calculate approximate driving time between orders ( T = S/V + Tvisit) – total time is calculated as a sum of Torders.
- API improvements (related to orders mode). For more effective and convenient integration with third-party solutions we’ve provided an opportunity to import orders or routes with orders to the system in JSON format. Read more at LogisticsServices_en.pdf. Files in .csv and .xslx formats are also available for import.

Other improvements:

- UI improvement. Common design for buttons when selecting orders.
- Planning mode optimization: faster filtration and switching between orders.
- Filtering parameters set for “permanent” and “single” orders, warehouse, route state, report type, selected unit/driver/group are now saved. We’ve also added alerts on route deletion.
- Address search. Address search performance has been enhanced (addresses for 100 orders are defined in +/- 5 sec).

CarCops Autovalve , thanks for evaluating the work!

Explain what additional work the driver is doing?
Who creates orders (tasks) for additional work (driver or dispatcher)?
What are the properties of the additional work (time, position, description ...)?
These orders (tasks) are part of the route (participate in the optimization)? Or is it a separate task list?
What should the program control within the order(task)? (fact of the visit, fact of the fulfillment, ...)

Clarify please?

I am giving a try again with Logistics.

I have uploaded 300 orders. Some of them are in the same place.
When I tell the program to create the routes, It does seems right.

The same place is visited by many units because there is more than one order at the same place.

They are supposed to get the best route based on distance, and there is nothing better distance than 2-5 orders in the same place.

WHY I USE LOGISTICS?

Each order is a student.
Each unit is a BUS school.
The final warehouse is the School, called “Lycee”.

Result: different Buses pick up different children (like brothers) at the same house.
Example:

•    The order S0008 is located in A8 (address). BUS01 was assigned.
•    The order S0010 is located in A8 (address). BUS12 was assigned.

•    BUS10 is picking up order S0286 but it could also get S0287, S0307, S0308.

What I see, if distance and time are ok and the unit does the job, it does not look for a shorter road, optimizing the distribution.

You can see this example in the user: panama.colegiales. Order dates: MAY 6, 2017.

Please help.

Hello Gurtam

Our client is garbage company with only 5 trucks. Every truck has 200 bins to empty.
Most of them are really close as you can see from the picture.

Totally there is 1 000 bins a day to empty. Main problem is that logistic dont optimise the route and as you can see from picture then driver has to visit same place 3-4 times, but bin is just 20 meeters from last bin.

Looks like if there is big amount of orders then there is no help from logistics, but just makes things more confusing.

2. I think is also good idea to add country or region on settings so the addresses are looked only in one defined country. Currently looks addresses from around the world. That should speed up the address looking prosess also.

Look at the article in the Cleveroad blog called "Logistics app development to solve numerous issues in the Logistics sphere" - https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/logistic … ics-sphere

Thanks for you clarification. Now it became more clear.
