How can I set conditions in NUNAV Courier?

You want to know how to set conditions in NUNAV Courier? Then you have come to the right place.

Short definition:

With conditions you can define certain rules that will be followed during route optimization. With conditions you can define, for example, that a customer only wants to receive his goods refrigerated and thus may only be delivered with a refrigerated vehicle.

Or imagine that your customer's entrance can only be reached through an archway, which limits the maximum vehicle height to 2.70 meters.

Other examples could be:

• Driver Klaus is a regular driver at a certain pharmacy. The owner of the pharmacy would therefore prefer to be supplied by driver Klaus.
• Driver Valentin has particularly good knowledge of one postal code area. Therefore, deliveries in this postal code area should preferably be carried out by Valentin.
• ...

Now comes the moment when you can make your route optimization even more efficient. By passing your individual local knowledge as a parameter to the route optimization.

To illustrate this, we would like to show you how to use this feature using 2 examples:

Example 1 - Refrigerated vehicle

1. first you determine the attributes which are applicable for your vehicles, drivers, customers or orders. In this example, you select the "Attributes" column for any vehicle in the vehicle view .

Then click on "Edit available values". 3.

3. since it is a "yes or no value", please click on text. After that, enter "Refrigerated vehicle" and click on Save.

4. after that it is important to assign a value to the attribute "Refrigerated vehicle". To do this, click in the text box and search for "refrigerated vehicle". After the initial letter, the corresponding attribute will be suggested to you.

5. in this simple example, we define that this attribute simply has to exist and therefore select "exists".

6. after that the attribute will be highlighted in green. After that, please click on "Save".

7. to define that a certain customer may only be supplied by one refrigerated vehicle, please switch to the customer view and scroll to the right.

8. now please open the column "conditions", activate the tab "vehicles" and search again for "refrigerated vehicle".

9. after entering the initial letter, the "refrigerated vehicle" will be suggested to you. To match the condition with the attribute, please select "Exists" here and then click "Save".

10. congratulations. The setup is completed. Alternatively, it is of course also possible to activate this condition for multiple customers. To do this, copy the setting to the desired customers as usual.

Example 2 - Vehicle height

1. first you determine the attributes which are applicable for your vehicles, drivers, customers or orders. In this example, select the "Attributes" column for any vehicle in the vehicle view .

Then click on "Edit available values". 3.

3. since it is a numerical value, click on number. After that, enter "Vehicle Height" and click Save.

4. after that it is important to assign a value to the attribute "vehicle height". To do this, click in the text box and search for "vehicle height". After the initial letter, the corresponding attribute will be suggested to you.

In this simple example we define that the "vehicle height" is 280cm. So we assign 280 to the "vehicle height" with the "=".

After that, the attribute will be highlighted in green. After that, please click on "Save".

7. to define that a certain customer can only be supplied by a refrigerated vehicle, please switch to the customer view and scroll to the right.

8. now please open the column "conditions", activate the tab "vehicles" and search again for "vehicle height".

9. after entering the first letter, the "vehicle height" will be suggested to you. To define that the customers can be approached only with a vehicle smaller than 270cm vehicle height, select the operator "<" (smaller than) and then write 270. Then confirm your selection with the Enter key and click Save.

10. congratulations. The setup is complete. Alternatively, it is of course possible to activate this condition for multiple customers. To do this, copy the setting to the desired customers as usual.
