In this article, you will learn all about the hints and tricks you can use in Dispatch Connect.

Solution: Ensure you are aware of all the features offered that make your planning smoother and faster.

In the Connect Settings, under Organization when you enter your organization address it will add your pickup location automatically on every order with the ability to override it if needed. This is especially useful if the majority of your deliveries are picked up from a single warehouse or other location.

Use the calendar ribbon to select the date of the delivery you wish to duplicate or scroll through the list. On the far right of the specific delivery you want to repeat, select the three-dot menu, and select Repeat Delivery. This will open the New Delivery form populated with all the same delivery and pickup information. This is a great time saver if you frequently deliver to the same customers and want to avoid duplicating delivery details.

You have the ability to name your routes. This can be helpful if you group your deliveries by region or some other distinguishable factor.

Once you start building your manifests you have the option to name the routes using the Pencil Icon.

After you type in the route name, click Save.

Reminder: You can save and load saved routes!

Delivery notifications can be customized with your branding. On the settings page, fill in the Recipient Facing Organization Name and Contact Phone Number then click Save. This will change how recipients of your deliveries see your brand represented in emails, SMS messages, and on the delivery status page. The Contact Phone number field allows your recipients to see your preferred phone number for who to contact with questions about their delivery status.
