How do I plan a tour?

Select orders, choose a driver, done. apomap calculates the best order and sends the tour straight to the driver app.

1. Select orders

Open Tour planning and select the orders that should go on the tour. There are three ways to do this:

Tick: Tick each order on the left.
Scan: Click the scan icon next to the + and scan the receipts or apomap labels. This is the fastest way. → How do I plan orders with scan mode?
On the map: Mark an area with the lasso tool. → How do I plan tours on the map?

Then click Plan tour at the bottom.

2. Set up the tour

Create a tour

Name: for example "Morning tour"
Start time and, if needed, end time
Central delivery service: only with several locations → What does central delivery service mean?
Drivers: Tick one or more drivers. For each driver you choose Start, End, Vehicle and, if needed, their own start time and end time.

If you choose several drivers, apomap distributes the orders between them automatically.

Under Advanced settings you specify the earliest and latest pickup times at the pharmacies involved. This only applies to this tour. → Basic and optimisation parameters for tour planning

3. Create the tour

Click Create tour. apomap optimises the route in a few seconds. The tour appears on the right under Planned and at the same time in the driver app. Your driver can start right away.

Note: If orders fall outside the time you chose for the tour, apomap shows a red notice at the top with the affected orders. Then adjust the start time or the orders' time windows.

Tip: If you drive certain tours every week, for example a doctors' tour, let apomap create them automatically. → How do I create and manage recurring tours?
