Auto-Route FAQs
Get to know how Auto-Route works with these commonly asked questions.
How does Auto-Route work?
Auto-Route will look at all of your stops for a given calendar date and determine the best possible route based on your drop-off and pick-up times. Auto-Route automatically prioritizes stops based on whether they have a pinpoint arrival/drop-off time or a window arrival/drop-off time.
Can I only Auto-Route some of my stops?
No, if you choose to use the Auto-Route feature it will automatically route all stops scheduled for the given day. If you have already routed some stops yourself and then hit Auto-Route, those scheduled routes will be replaced by the new auto-created routes.
What happens if I have too many stops and they won’t all be able to fit?
If you don’t have enough time or Dispatch Vehicle Capacity for a day, when you hit Auto-Route you will get a notification letting you know how many and which stops were unable to be routed based on capacity.
How can I add more Dispatch Vehicle Capacity so Auto-Route is able to add all of my stops?
