RoutingBox Friday Issue 195: Assignment Suggestions Map (6/2/18 to 6/8/18)

What's New?

We have added a preview map to Assignment Suggestions in the Dispatch screen! This map will help dispatchers with one of the toughest parts of their job: visualizing how a new trip can impact an existing route. With this new feature, dispatchers can instantly see the impact of a new trip on an existing route, and choose the most appropriate one.

You can open Assignment Suggestions by right-clicking on any blank driver assignment in the Dispatch screen, then click the Map icon in the rightmost column of any suggestion.

The current route is shown in gray. The blue line shows the new trip's impact on the current route. Generally, the best suggested "new" routes will look similar to the current route.

Improvements?

• We've fixed an issue with Ohio LogistiCare import file mapping, which caused some wheelchair trips to import with a livery Mode.

Did You Know?

When importing with the MAS Direct Connection, you have the option to import all trips, new or changed trips, or just new trips. Please note: MAS removes the new or changed status once a trip has been modified, viewed, or printed from their website.

If you would like a more hands-off solution, you may subscribe to our MAS Auto Importer, which will automatically bring all MAS trips into RoutingBox.

We'll help you with all the BiTS and pieces of our software.

We're here for you via live chat, phone, and e-mail.
