Getting started with the carrier console

This guide takes you from a new account to your first order on its way to the customer. You create your account, set up your company, create an order, receive it at the warehouse, plan the route and send it to your driver. Count about 30 minutes.

Setting up delivery services

Services are the extras you offer on top of the delivery: assembly, installation, a third-floor walk-up, white-glove unpacking. You add them to an order, and the driver records in the app whether each service was done.

Configuring automatic dispatch

With automatic dispatch on, Dropioo sends every route planned for the day to its driver at a set time, early in the morning. You plan the evening before; the routes are on the phones when your drivers wake up.

Managing merchant partners

Merchants are the shops and companies you deliver for. Add them yourself, invite them to their own merchant portal, and accept the partnership requests they send you.

Merchant ManagementMerchant Partners

Managing drivers

Add a driver to your fleet, send them their activation code, and enable or disable their access to the driver app.

Driver ManagementManaging Drivers

Adding a vehicle

Add a vehicle to your fleet so you can give it to a driver as their default vehicle and use it when you plan routes. It takes a minute.

Adding a VehicleVehicle Management

Managing driver skills

Skills describe what a driver can do or is certified for: fragile goods, two-person delivery, refrigerated loads, a heavy-vehicle licence. You add a skill once, give it to drivers, and require it on the orders that need it. AI planning then takes the skill into account when it chooses the driver.

Following your drivers live

Live tracking shows your drivers on the map while they are on the road, with their position, their route and the state of each stop.

Live Driver TrackingReal-Time Tracking

Reading a driver's activity statement

The Activity statement lists, stop by stop, what a driver did over a period: delivered, partial, failed, skipped, with the services done and the time spent. Use it to check a day, answer a customer, or prepare the driver's pay.

Creating a single order

Create a delivery order from the form: recipient, address, products and packages, services and delivery windows. Use it when an order comes in by phone or email. To create many orders at once, see Importing Orders from a File

Creating an OrderSingle Order

Importing orders from a file

Create many orders at once from a spreadsheet: up to 500 rows per file, in .csv, .xls or .xlsx. Dropioo checks every row before it creates anything.

Importing OrdersOrder Import

Approving or rejecting merchant orders

Orders that your partner merchants send from their portal do not enter your planning by themselves: they wait in Pending Approval until you approve or reject them.

Merchant OrdersOrder Approval

Planning and sending routes

Group the day's orders into routes, with the AI optimizer or by hand, then send each route to its driver's phone.

Route PlanningRoute Optimization

Adding orders or a quick stop to a route

Add a late order to a route that already exists, or add a quick stop (a pickup or a drop-off) without creating a customer order.

Adding Orders to a RouteQuick Stop

Handling refused, interrupted or cancelled routes

Sometimes a route cannot run as planned: the driver refuses it before loading, the driver cannot finish it, or you call it off. Here is what the console shows and what to do.

Route ManagementRefused Routes

Following up a failed delivery and rescheduling an order

When a delivery fails, the order shows why and what to do next. Bring the package back, then reschedule the order or cancel it.

Failed DeliveryDelivery Follow-Up

Setting up your warehouse

Add a warehouse and organize it in zones and storage locations (bins), so your team knows where each package is stored. You do this once per warehouse; receiving and loading are then daily tasks.

Warehouse SetupWarehouse Configuration

Receiving packages at the warehouse

When packages arrive at your warehouse, receive them in Dropioo. An order can be planned onto a route only once its packages are received. You can scan the packages from the warehouse inventory, or receive a whole order from its row.

Receiving PackagesWarehouse Receiving

Loading a route at the warehouse

Before a route leaves, its packages go from the shelves into the vehicle. From the console, the warehouse team picks each package, checks where it is stored and records it as loaded onto the route. The loading progress shows what is still missing.

Loading a RouteWarehouse Operations

Processing returns and unidentified packages

A package that could not be delivered comes back to the depot as a return. Receive it, decide what happens next, and hand it back to the merchant if needed. Packages that arrive without a usable label go to the unidentified zone until you find their order.

Reading your dashboard

The Dashboard is the first screen after you sign in. Its top half is always about today: what is moving and what needs you now. Its bottom half follows the period you choose.

Analyzing your delivery performance

Analytics gives the full picture of a period: success and punctuality, trends, drivers, zones, merchants, the hours you deliver, and the long run.

Delivery PerformancePerformance Analysis

tracking your delivery

Your carrier delivers with Dropioo. When your driver starts the delivery of your order, you receive a text message (and an email if the sender has your address) with a link to follow it live.

Delivery TrackingTrack Your Delivery

Viewing your proof of delivery

Once your order is delivered, your tracking page shows the proof the driver recorded at your door.

Rating your delivery

Once your order is delivered, you can rate your driver from your tracking page. Your rating helps the carrier improve every delivery.

Messages you receive about your delivery

Your carrier keeps you informed by text message, and by email when the sender has your address. Each text message starts with the carrier's name. Here is what you can receive, and when.

Delivery NotificationsDelivery Messages

What happens if you miss your delivery

If nobody can receive your parcel, the driver records the reason (for example, you were absent) and brings the parcel back to the depot. Nothing is lost: the carrier decides with the sender what comes next.

Creating your merchant account

Create your account on the merchant portal, confirm your email address, then fill in your business details in the welcome wizard. The portal is at merchant.dropioo.com.

Merchant AccountAccount Creation

Setting up your merchant profile

Your profile tells your carriers who you are, who to call and where to pick up your orders. You filled part of it in the welcome wizard; complete or correct it at any time in Settings.

Merchant ProfileProfile Setup

Connecting with a delivery partner

Your delivery partner is the carrier that delivers your orders. You need at least one active partner before you can submit orders. Either the carrier invites you, or you send it a request with its carrier code.

Delivery PartnerPartner Connection

Submitting an order to your partner

Send a delivery order to one of your carriers from a four-step form. The order waits in Pending Approval until the carrier approves it. To send many orders at once, see [Importing Orders from a File].
