FleetLoader

Load Product by Volume or Quantity

Ensure that larger products, such as 2L bottles, are loaded first to provide stability for loads when the higher quantities are smaller package types, such as cans, which would traditionally be on the bottom. There is a new option to load by volume first (e.g. package size) in both driver and warehouse-friendly loading.

Export Orders, and User-Defined Fields via Exported Loaded Routes

If additional information is stored about orders and line items as user-defined fields, all UDFs can now be exported. This requires an edit to the Export Loaded Routes Import layout to utilise. Roadnet
