Edit Master Route Templates And Update Future Recurring Routes

Route4Me’s Scheduled & Recurring Routing is designed for any logistics-intense business with a repeating route schedule – from first mile to middle mile and last mile businesses. With Route4Me, you will be able not only to optimize the most profitable routes but also fully automate your route planning, scheduling, and route dispatch operations.

How does it work? Extremely easy and fast! Create a Master Route template and add a Recurring Schedule in minutes. Flexible scheduling rules allow you to create virtually any possible daily, weekly, monthly, and annual Recurring Route Schedule. Route4Me will automatically generate Recurring Routes based on your custom schedule and auto dispatch routes to drivers and vehicles.

You can edit the Master Route template at any time, and we’ll seamlessly schedule, reschedule, plan, optimize, and dispatch new updated routes for you based on your schedule.

 

To update a Master Route Template, first, go to Recurring Schedule from the navigation menu. In the Recurring Schedule, you can view and manage all Master Routes associated with your Route4Me account. Click on the Three Dots Menu Icon next to the Master Route that you want to edit, and then select Edit Route from the menu.

  • Update order details on any stop
  • Update customer details on any stop
  • Add Custom Data to stop(s)
