Need to quickly plan a route? These 25 orders were routed in less than thirty seconds!!!
The driving mileage also dropped by 85 miles and saved 2 1/2 hours of route time. Just click on any ETA link in the left sidebar to show orders for a single route day. Use the Quick Route dialog to optimize and get driving directions in seconds. When everything’s ready, just print from your browser and hand it to the driver.
Headlight lets you print maps, driving directions and delivery instructions for any route day. It’s a great help for the drivers, especially when making deliveries or service calls to a new area.
Headlight now lets you show route paths. Just click on any ETA link in the left sidebar. Headlight will instantly filter the view to only show deliveries on the same route and date (i.e. one route day). The matching route path shows every stop in sequence. It’s a great way to quickly see how a route is being driven.
There’s a lot of Headlight information scattered around the website. Tutorials, blog posts, articles, case studies and many other support resources. What’s been missing is a single place that pulls everything together. And a means to search the available information. And most important, a simple guide to getting started with step-by-step lessons. The new Help area address all of these problems.
The big news is Headlight’s slick new Import Data Wizard.
Quickly identify contacts that aren’t pinned to street address and correct them.
My Info and Setup have been merged into a single item called “Setup”. All account information is quickly accessible from the four main tabs: My Info, Settings, Import/Export and Billing. It’s much easier to navigate.
Importing has been completely overhauled to make importing files quick and easy. After you select a file, Headlight automatically matches fields and flags records that can’t be imported. Smaller jobs are geocoded in real-time, so map symbols appear instantly.
Cool features in this release include Automated Delivery Reminders, My Calendar, Suggest Routes, Estimated Arrival Times, Dashboard Notices and Login Help.
This keeps everyone informed of important Headlight announcements, updates and new features. After logging into Headlight, you’ll see an occasional notice that can be hidden at any time.
Lookup any customers and see approximate arrival times for the next delivery.
Anyone in the office can instantly identify the best routing for a new customer, will call or emergency delivery. After approving the suggestion, print a one page map for the driver.
Let your customers access delivery schedules online at any time. It includes a professionally designed PDF calendar perfect for printing. No need to hand out new schedules every time the delivery route changes.
Many people call to ask “Hey, when’s my next delivery?” You can provide answers 24/7/365 and reduce inbound calls by using email reminders instead. Customers first receive a personalized email invitation. After accepting the invitation, they can update reminder preferences any time using a personalized web page.
The site will include Headlight Tutorials, new feature announcements, regular articles (blog posts), video interviews and some things we’ll keep under the covers for now. We don’t want to completely spoil the surprise, but did want to offer a little advance notice.
