What you’ll do
Create your first route, place orders on it, and dispatch to a driver who fulfills in the Routes Mobile app.
Prerequisites
- Route Planner is enabled and visible in the left nav. 
- At least one driver and one vehicle exist in Settings → Drivers / Vehicles. 
Step 1 — Create a route
- In Planner, click Add a route (or use the menu → Add a route). 
- Choose Driver and Vehicle; set Start time, Start location, End location; optionally mark Recurring. 
- Save. A route code is generated for the driver. 
Step 2 — Add or import orders
- Bring orders in via ERP sync, Email ingester, CSV upload, or add manually. 
- New orders appear on Orders and in the Order Queue until scheduled. 
Step 3 — Place orders onto the route (Order Queue)
- Open Order Queue to see not-yet-scheduled orders. 
- Drag/drop (or auto-assign) orders to the route. Typical orders include pickup, drop-off, tags, and an Order/PO/B#. 
Step 4 — Plan in the view you prefer
- Kanban: list of routes 
- Map: stops and orders on a map 
- Calendar (beta): stops per truck by day 
 Use filters for date and route.
Step 5 — Dispatch to the driver
- Share the route code with the driver. 
- Driver opens Routes Mobile, enters the code, and works through stops. 
- Customers receive in-progress notifications. 
Step 6 — Track and measure
- Overview: live route status (night before and day-of). 
- Metrics: performance for drivers and trucks. 
What the driver captures (proof of fulfillment)
- Pickup/drop-off status, photos, signature, and recipient name—visible from Route Planner. 
Troubleshooting
- No drivers/vehicles? Add them in Settings → Drivers / Vehicles. 
- Orders missing from Planner? Confirm they exist on Orders and appear in Order Queue. 
- Driver can’t see the route? Confirm the route code and that they’re in Routes Mobile.
