From the web interface, you can add, cancel, reschedule or reassign a delivery, change the order of stops or move a stop to the end of the route.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers can also make changes from the mobile app in certain situations, for example by adding a nearby unassigned delivery or rescheduling a stop when a customer is unavailable.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Are drivers automatically notified of changes?&#8221;]Yes. When a route is changed, the information is updated in the mobile app. The driver receives a notification on their smartphone and can immediately access their updated schedule. This avoids having to communicate every change by phone or message.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Do all routes need to be recalculated after a change?&#8221;]No. You can make changes only to the affected stops or routes. AntsRoute allows you to adapt your operations while preserving the overall logic of the day as far as possible.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can a delivery be reassigned to another driver?&#8221;]Yes. A delivery can be moved to another route when the situation requires it, for example if a driver is significantly delayed, unavailable or has too heavy a workload.<\/p>\n<p>The relevant driver then receives the new stop in their mobile app.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What happens if several unexpected issues arise at the same time?&#8221;]You retain a complete overview of route progress and can identify the stops that require priority action.<\/p>\n<p>You can then reschedule, reassign, cancel or move the affected deliveries, without losing sight of the other routes already in progress.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can a delivery be rescheduled if the customer is unavailable?&#8221;]Yes. A stop can be moved to later in the route or rescheduled, depending on your operations and the options available for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers can also move a stop to the end of their route directly from the mobile app.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;0px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;ar-notif-cta-bg&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;ar-notif-cta&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xl-inherit vc_col-lg-inherit vc_col-md-12 vc_col-sm-inherit&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;ar-notif-cta-title&#8221;]\n<h2>What if you tested AntsRoute on your own routes?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;ar-notif-cta-text&#8221;]Optimisation really comes into its own when it\u2019s applied to your real-world constraints on an actual day of deliveries.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<div class=\"ar-notif-cta-buttons\"><a class=\"ar-notif-btn ar-notif-btn--primary\" href=\"https:\/\/app.antsroute.com\/subscription\/creation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nStart for free<br \/>\n<\/a><a class=\"ar-notif-btn ar-notif-btn--secondary ar-notif-btn--cta-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/lea-brice-antsroute\/demonstration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nBook a demo<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;ar-notif-cta-note&#8221;]7-day free trial.
