To go even further, you can now define specific conditions linked to the <strong>geographical distance of customers<\/strong>. This geographical distance corresponds to an interval expressed in kilometres. For example, a geographical distance of 0 to 25 km.<\/p>\n<p>To understand this better, let&#8217;s consider the following example: you want to determine the cost of a delivery to a customer by including a fixed price and additional costs linked to the customer&#8217;s distance from your warehouse address.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you use our Pickup &amp; Delivery functions, the geographical distance is calculated in relation to the address of the loading location.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_87262\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87262\" class=\"wp-image-87262\" style=\"border-radius: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2.jpg 1867w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-1024x544.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-1536x816.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-260x138.jpg 260w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-50x27.jpg 50w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-2-141x75.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-87262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The creation of a rule for calculating the price of work orders on AntsRoute.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span id=\"How_do_I_use_this_function\">How do I use this function?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From your AntsRoute account, go to \u201cSettings\u201d &gt; \u201cPrice of work orders\u201d.

In simple terms, AntsRoute takes into account all your time and business constraints in order to spread the appointments from the \u201cDeliveries&#8217; basket\u201d over a period. Tasks are smartly assigned to your drivers and routes are directly optimised.<\/p>\n<p>The function is quite revolutionary. Teams responsible for planning appointments can <strong>save a considerable amount of time<\/strong>. What&#8217;s more, thanks to automation, you can say goodbye to scheduling errors.<\/p>\n<p><em><u>Note<\/u>: To take advantage of this spreading function, you need to schedule your appointments from the \u201cDeliveries&#8217; basket\u201d tab. This tab allows you to schedule work orders that do not have a fixed date, but simply a due date, i.e. a date by which the work or delivery must be completed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many customers already benefit from our spreading function. In response to demand from our users who carry out Pick-up &amp; Delivery routes, we have simply added the spreading option to this mode of operation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I use this function?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To access this function, go to the \u201cPlan\u201d module &gt; \u201cDeliveries&#8217; basket\u201d module. From this page, you have several options.<br \/>\nThe first is to select jobs directly from your table. Then click on the \u201cSpread\u201d button and select a period for spreading the work orders.<br \/>\nA second method is available: you click directly on the \u201cSpread\u201d button and enter a number of work orders to be spread. For example, if you enter 200 items, AntsRoute will spread the first 200 work orders on your list.<br \/>\nVoil\u00e0! <strong>The work orders are automatically planned and the routes optimised<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Note<\/strong>: If you have many work orders to spread, I recommend you use this second method.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To find out more about this function, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/support.antsroute.com\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/19481695181841-Spread-work-orders-over-a-period-of-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>support article<\/u><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_87272\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87272\" class=\"wp-image-87272\" style=\"border-radius: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4.jpg 1897w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-1024x594.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-1536x891.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-252x146.jpg 252w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-50x29.jpg 50w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/update-antsroute-june2024-4-129x75.jpg 129w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-87272\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spreading Pick-up &amp; Delivery operations on AntsRoute.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"links-sent-to-your-customers-further-improvements\"><span id=\"Links_sent_to_your_customers_further_improvements\">Links sent to your customers: further improvements<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the beginning of the year, we introduced a new <a href=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/en\/software\/the-links-sent-to-your-customers-have-been-updated\/\"><u>system of links sent to end customers<\/u><\/a> via notifications.
