How to send a delivery order to OptimoRoute

When a delivery order is reserved, Booqable sends the relevant delivery information to OptimoRoute, including:

  • Customer and delivery details

  • Products and quantities

  • Order weight, when weight is enabled

To send a delivery order to OptimoRoute from Booqable:

  1. Create a delivery order from the Orders section.
    ​

  2. Once you have entered all the order details, click Reserve to generate the OptimoRoute Inbound and Outbound routes.
    These will show up under Information as new fields.
    ​

  3. To find the order in OptimoRoute, go to the Plan and optimize section.
    ​

  4. Select the date for either the delivery or return and under Routes, you will find the inbound and outbound routes.
    ​
