Import barcode data and enable drivers to add stops to their route by scanning package barcode labels

Many courier companies use barcode scanning for various steps along the last-mile delivery journey. Our latest feature allows Dispatchers to upload unassigned stops via spreadsheet and includes package Barcode IDs.

Now, when a Driver creates a route, they have the option to scan the barcode label attached to a package, which will automatically move that stop from the unassigned stops list onto their route.

Barcode scanning was not previously supported, and this is the first step towards building more comprehensive barcode functionality.

How to import barcode data and scan barcode labels

• Add Barcode ID numbers to the Barcode ID column in the spreadsheet
• Import the spreadsheet data to unassigned stops in the Dispatcher dashboard
• On the Driver app, the Driver taps the viewfinder icon to add a stop to a route
• Select > Barcode and line up the package barcode label in the viewfinder to scan it
• Once successfully scanned, that unassigned stop will automatically move from the unassigned stops list onto the Driver’s route
