Streamlined delivery method selection
Managing deliveries in the construction industry requires precision, efficiency, and flexibility. With our latest feature update, we've completely redesigned how you select delivery methods for your orders, bringing all options into a single, intuitive interface that saves time and reduces complexity.
Unified delivery selection interface
Our new unified delivery selection interface consolidates all possible delivery methods into one central location. This thoughtful redesign eliminates the need to navigate between different sections of the system when planning your logistics operations.
Now, when dispatching orders or planning tour routes, you can view and select from all available delivery options directly from a single screen, making the decision-making process faster and more efficient.
Comprehensive delivery options at your fingertips
The new interface provides visibility and quick access to multiple delivery methods:
Internal Fleet Management: View your drivers and their current status in real-time, making it easy to assign orders based on availability and location
Cross-Location Transfers: Seamlessly transfer orders between different locations within your company
Fleet on Demand by Alrik: Book deliveries directly with our company for orders that require special handling or additional capacity
Third-Party Carrier Integration: Dispatch orders to your established third-party carriers from the same interface
Benefits for your team
This consolidated approach to delivery method selection delivers several key advantages:
- Reduced System Navigation: Less time spent clicking through different menus means more time for strategic planning
- Better Decision-Making: With all options visible simultaneously, planners can make more informed choices about the most efficient delivery method
- Streamlined Workflows: Simplified processes mean faster training for new staff and reduced operational errors
- Improved Visibility: Clear status indicators help prevent scheduling conflicts and optimize resource utilization
How it works in practice
When an order comes into your system, your logistics planners now have a comprehensive view of all possible fulfillment methods. They can assess driver availability, evaluate transfer options to other locations, consider Alrik's delivery services, or select appropriate third-party carriers—all without leaving the planning interface.
This holistic approach ensures orders are assigned to the most appropriate delivery method based on timing, cost, and operational requirements, giving your team unprecedented flexibility in managing your construction logistics.
By bringing all delivery methods together in one intuitive interface, we've taken another step toward making construction logistics management simpler and more efficient for your business.
