Manage Vehicle Types
- In this model, you would have to manually create the Vehicle Types instead of using the default Vehicle Types as in the VRP/DC model
Locate Vehicle Type List
- The Vehicle Types are listed in the Transportation > Vehicle Type tab
Create Vehicle Types
- You can create the Vehicle Types using two methods: Webform and Excel import file
- First off, we would like to introduce two product loading methods used in this model:
- Method 1: Products are placed on pallets. The pallets will then be lifted onto the Vehicles' cargo space
- Method 2: Products are placed directly onto the Vehicles' cargo space floor without pallets
- Each of these product loading methods has a different loading/unloading time defined in Abivin vRoute system as the Palletized Time and Non-Palletized Time
Create Vehicle Types
- You have two methods to create the Vehicles Types:
- Method 1: Create single Vehicles via Webform
- Method 2: Create multiple Vehicles via Excel import file
