En:Optimise loading lists

An existing en:loading list is initially output in the order in which the orders were added. Winestro.Cloud therefore offers the option of sorting orders with one click so that the shortest route can be taken, the transporter is loaded accordingly and customers are informed of the exact time of their delivery. You can also have this optimised route displayed directly in Google Maps or as a download for various navigation devices.

Before adjusting a route, it is advisable to look through the orders from the relevant loading list and check the addresses of the customers (especially the postcodes). Otherwise, errors may occur during optimisation.

Once all addresses have been checked, simply click on A dialogue box will now open from which you can select where the tour starts and where the tour ends. This option is particularly interesting if you are travelling on multi-day tours with different daily destinations.

As soon as the route has been customised, the symbol changes and turns green. If you now move the mouse over it, the time of the last route optimisation is displayed. The start and end points of the route are only displayed after they have been transferred to Google Maps.

Route plans

Once the loading list has been optimised, the next step is to inform the customer of the delivery time and date. First of all, you should take a look at the route map, which you can now click on . Here you can manually change the arrival and departure times again, for example if you already know that a longer stay is planned at certain locations. Furthermore, daily destinations can be marked and the start time and start date of the tour can be adjusted. The route map can also be printed out for your own overview.

To avoid having to write to all customers individually, simply click on the blue mail (to be found at the top right of the journey plan or in the loading list). A new mail template will now open. All customers for whom an e-mail address is stored are entered here as recipients. Via Auto fields, the customer is now notified of the delivery date of the tour and the expected delivery time. To save even more time, you can create your own Mailvorlage, which already contains the required information.

Loading lists as cards

There are various options in Winestro.Cloud for displaying the completed loading list as a map:

1. in the loading list on the left, under the position number, orders can be marked as stop numbers for Google Maps. Please note that a maximum of 25 stops can be added to Google Maps. Click on to access the overview of en:Google Maps.

2 Click on to download loading lists for a Tom-Tom navigation device. To do this, the navigation device must be connected to the PC and the file from Winestro.Cloud must be saved on the navigation device in the ITN folder. When the device is restarted, you will find the tour Route planning, Options and Load route. Further options can also be found under en:Navi download.

3. the Map & Guide Download offers a similar help as the Navi Download, but for other navigation devices and applications with the help of which so-called points of interest can be inserted into a device. The format that is output here for export is a csv. File which is supported by many common providers. The file itself contains the addresses, the exact coordinates, as well as the total kg number of orders and the kg number of individual orders.
