This was description of the SmartDelivery: transport management / delivery rounds PrestaShop extension
Manage delivery rounds with SmartDelivery: create vehicles, areas, max number of deliveries and delivery slots for your customers to book available deliveries, then optimize delivery trips. - SmartDelivery back office is simple to use as far as it is aligned with Prestashop back office look and feel. - Slot creation is flexible so it can be used for any kind of deliveries. - Delivery slots allows you to re arrange deliveries with a slot in order to optimize delivery trip. - Multi vehicle allows you to manage multiple deliveries in the same areas and / or in distinct areas. - Delivery trip optimization screen helps you quick optimize delivery trips. 1 - Create your delivery agenda - Define default delivery rounds : available slots by vehicles, time slots, areas (one or more zip codes), and maximum number of deliveries allowed by hour. - Delivery weekly agenda can be copied from one week to another in order to create quickly your agenda, that you can then edit to match seasonality, delivery man availability, etc... - Define a booking frame in order to limit future booking. For example, you can define 2 months as the maximum advance you can book a delivery. Booking frame is clearly displayed in the back office (open and closed delivery slots).   2 - Customers choose an available delivery slot - In the carrier choice screen of the Prestashop check out process, a weekly agenda displays delivery available to the customer. - Available slots are defined based on the curtomer's zip code as well as other customers booking on slots compared to the maximum delivery allowded on each slot. - Deliveries out of the defined areas are not possible.   3 - Optimize delivery trips and send them to delivery man - In order to simplify its use, SmartDelivery back office integrates a dedicated screen to delivery bookings, on top of the screen to define delivery slots. - Another screen is dedicated to delivery rounds : it displays on the right part the delivery list, and on the left part a map with the delivery path. Using this screen, you can easily optimize the path and keep deliveries in the time slots announced to customers. - Once delivery trip is optimized, you can send it by email, or print it in an printable format.   4 - More details - This module does not integrate a specific cost management system for deliveries, please use the Prestashop native one. - Neither area names nor delivery slots unavailable to customer are displayed in front office : your internal arrangement is kept private ! - Area overlap & trip optimisation allows you to maximize efficienty.     Use examples   FYI : Paris is composed of multiple zip codes, all starting with 75xxx. Smaller codes are in the center, then code is growing in a snail schema.   Delivery slots settings for one day : 09h - 11h - Truck 1 - Center Paris (75001, 75002, 75003, 75004) 10h - 12h - Truck 1 - Paris left bank (75005, 75006, 75007) 11h - 13h - Truck 1 - South Paris (75014, 75015)   09h - 13h - Truck 2 - Western Paris (92200, 92400, 92044, 92800) 14h - 19h - Truck 2 - Western Paris (92200, 92400, 92044, 92800)   A customer based in the city of Puteaux (92800, just outside Paris) will see 2 delivery options : 9h - 13h, and 14h - 19h. A customer based in the 5th arrondissement of Paris will only see one delivery option : 10h- 12h.   SmartDelivery allows you to overlap areas in order to maximize availability of delivery slots for your customers and number of delivery during delivery trips. In our example : from 10h to 11h, both customers based in Center Paris & left bank will be allowded to book deliveries (theses areas are neighboring). After all slots are taken by orders, you will exchange deliveries within the time slot in order to optimize the delivery trip. Customer Benefits - Simple and easy to use interface for your customers to choose delivery slot. - Delivery slots preset linked to delivery trip optimization allows you to offer multiple delivery slots to your customer, and actually be on time at your customer's places ! One of our customer offer 2 hours delivery slots in Paris, and is actually on time thanks to SmartDelivery !
