When managing the delivery operation of your construction business, it is critical to have 3 aspects of your businesses’ workflow in place:
For construction businesses, we understand that each day comes with unpredictable disruptions, and there is always hurdles that distract teams from completing all the tasks and jobs they had set out to do.
To avoid these disruptions having a heavy impact on the success of a day, it is vital to have systems in place that keep each worker focused, help teams communicate effectively with customers and each other, as well as systems that allow management to have a crystal clear view of the operation.
RouteMagic has been developed to address the unique challenges and needs that this sector faces, and this article will explore 3 of the ways our delivery management system helps you manage teams more effectively, track progress, and keep your teams focused on their goals.
Using RouteMagic’s simple, but thorough checklist system, you can outline rules, restrictions, and permissions for each team member. From here, each worker using the system will understand which permissions they have been granted. RouteMagic ensures each rule is followed, so you can be safe in the knowledge that your business is operating exactly how you want it to.
Set restrictions and permissions for your drivers that enforce vehicle checks, allow certain drivers to manually add stock to the pre-load, make adjustments to orders, temporarily skip customers, change order prices, take forward orders amongst over 50 other customisable options. For your office teams, you can decide who has administrative authority to review, change, or approve invoices, payments, orders and reports.
Our mobile delivery app has been designed to be easy-to-learn, and easy to use, so no matter who is using it, they can carry out their daily tasks in the most productive way.
Drivers start the day with a vehicle check to ensure lorry/van maintenance. Following this, they can load the materials they need to deliver for the day, adding any materials that they know they need manually as additional items. Their route is set out and the sequence of deliveries is shown to them, with google maps integrations so they are guided on their journey.
Drivers log all proof-of-deliveries and order information on the app itself, with no need for dockets or paper trails which inevitably result in some manual error or lost paperwork that causes more work down the line. Any specifics regarding an order are made clear to your drivers, to make sure customers are always happy with the service you offer.
With our cloud-based solution, any member of your office or management team can access live operational information, from any device, anywhere.
For management, this means they can have a bird’s eye view of the entire business, day-to-day, from anywhere. They can log on to the system from their home laptop, tablet, mobile phone, or check-up when in the office, and have a clear view of all deliveries, their status; driver locations, reports and analytical insights.
All of this available at their fingertips allows them to remove the need to fire-fight issues throughout the day, so they can focus their time and energy on the growth of the business.
