Customise reason notes for delivery status
When a delivery is marked as delivered or part-delivered in the app, the driver has the option to provide reasons from a list, including ‘Posted through letterbox’ or ‘Left with neighbour’
For users that have access to the recent Settings function, you can now customise the list of reasons available to your drivers on the app.
Some existing options may not be relevant to all businesses. For example, when delivering pharmaceuticals, ‘Left with a neighbour’ is not suitable but you can now set your own reason options to make them relevant to your operation. Reasons notes will appear as Order events once used by the driver.
Product maintenance updates
This release sees a number of updates to Stream’s product maintenance functionality:
Additional product classification icons
New icon options have been added for managing products, Product classification icons give you an easy visual of the classification of products on an order. You can now choose from 30 different icons.
Hide for partners
The ‘Hide for partners’ checkbox enables you to decide whether or not partners are able to view and select this specific product. This may be useful in the case of services or add-ons that partners do not need to view.
Scan not required
The ‘Scan not required’ checkbox enables you to make scanning not a mandatory requirement at the point of delivery. This again would be useful in the case of services (like fitting or set-up) that should be performed at delivery but do not require a barcode scan. It could also be useful for goods that don’t have a barcode attached at all.
Product type
The ‘Product type’ dropdown allows you to associate different services with a specific product. This may be useful for adding safety tests like PAT or LOLER, or for adding a service or a quote to the product.
Storage type
The ‘Storage type’ dropdown allows you to add storage specifications to specific products. This can be set up to require different signatures from different people based on the storage type selected. For example, controlled substances or temperature requirements may require a separate signature.
Notes or documents to drivers using the mobile App
Give access to attachments to the driver as images or pdf documents. Attachments can be linked to the order via the API and notes can be added to Order. In the driver app, any delivery with attached notes for the driver will display an icon, and the driver can download/view the note. This gives the driver visibility ahead of time if there is any specific instruction attached.
These notes could include instructions on how to find a specific building or gain entry to the delivery point.
