Distribution Centers Running on Time with Different Departure Time Options

Distribution centers and other delivery-based businesses know the most important thing is getting the product to the customer on time. Many GPS systems do not consider this. They consider your departure time as the time you leave your home or the warehouse, like we used to do. Customers noticed there is a gap that isn’t included in the route planning and asked us to account for the time it takes the driver to get from the warehouse to the first destination.
MyRouteOnline offers a convenient update to Departure Time, that allows you to enter:

Time at second stop: The time you wish to visit the stop after you leave your start address, so you can determine when to leave your home, office, warehouse, etc.

Time at last stop: The time you wish to end your route, so you can determine how many deliveries you can accommodate.
This helps you offer better customer service and allows you to plan your day more accurately.
