Vehicles and zones

Vehicles and Zones anchor field logistics — every delivery or service run maps to a vehicle and the geography it covers.

Please note:

• Deactivate vehicles during maintenance so auto-dispatch from Logistics and live map does not assign broken units.
• Zone changes affect recurring beats for Vendors and FMCG customers — update boundaries before the next planning cycle.

Register vehicles

1. Open Vehicles
2. Add unit ID, type, capacity, and default depot
3. Set active/inactive for maintenance or seasonal fleet
4. Assign drivers or crews when your tenant links HR profiles

Telematics or manual odometer readings can attach to trips when integrations are enabled.

Define zones

Zones partition cities, regions, or postcodes so planners do not cross incompatible routes.

Zone type	Use case	Planning note
Delivery	FMCG drops	Cutoff times per zone
Service	Field repairs	Skill tags on vehicles
Restricted	Permits required	Block auto-assign
Overflow	Peak demand	Manual activation

Route coherence

Assign orders to zones first, then vehicles with matching capacity and permits. Logistics and live map reflects active vehicles by zone when GPS or check-in events feed the map layer. Picked loads from Picking and orders attach here before departure.

Maintenance

Deactivate vehicles during service windows so auto-dispatch does not assign broken units. Update zone boundaries when territories change to keep SLA metrics honest.
