Do you often change route calculation parameters? For example, today you plan city routes with geo-zones, and tomorrow - intercity routes. Or have you selected the optimal parameters for the calculation and would like to save them for future use?

So that you don't have to remember and choose the necessary parameters for the calculation every time. We added the option of using Calculation settings templates. Now you can quickly and easily select the necessary settings.ant logistics

In the same way, you can create several templates.

Pay attention! Editing and deletion of calculation settings templates is possible according to the access hierarchy (for example, a user with "logist" access will not be able to delete a template created by a user with "administrator" access).

Calculation of routes by product groups

Image
In November 2017, a new service feature was added - calculation of routes with the condition of distributing groups of goods by vehicles assigned to them. For example, goods of the "frozen" group have to be transported only by vehicles specially equipped for this purpose, nevertheless other goods should not get into the refrigerator.  Start setting - go to Sett ings , Accounting tab, opposite the Use Product Groups   field, select Yes and save the changes: Create product groups in the Product Groups directory.

Routes by delivery groups. Set up once and use.

Image
 Previously, we described how to use the Delivery Groups tool, link vehicles to a specific service area, and calculate routes for different geo-zones. This is convenient, but not in all cases. For example, for the delivery of large-sized goods, it is necessary to use trucks, while targeted deliveries of small-sized goods are handled much more efficiently by more maneuverable and economical cars. Also, there are often situations when it is not necessary to do the division into routes - it has already been done in another program and you just need to correctly display real routes, calculate time and mileage. In this article, we will look at how to use delivery groups in combination with sales point groups and calculate routes for these groups. We consider that the division into routes is made in the user program and uploaded to the  sales point group field . We need to take into account this division on the ANT-Logistics service. In the directories, select Sales point groups , then press
