Delivery carried by the cleaner: fewer detours for the delivery driver

Some properties are far from the delivery driver's round, while the cleaner passes right by the depot on the way there. The assignment proposal can now spot this: it suggests that the cleaner collects that property's items from the depot, only when it saves time overall (delivery driver + cleaner).

What you set (Rules › Deliveries)

• “Propose that the cleaner picks up the items at the depot”: Yes or No for the company, with exceptions by sector. No client consent is needed.
• “What a cleaner can carry”: a maximum per item and per means of transport (on foot, public transport, bike, car), like a vehicle's capacity. It counts everything the cleaner carries between two depot visits, including linen to bring back. Empty box: no limit; 0: never.
• “Return to depot”: on the visit closest to the depot (recommended), at the end of the day, or right after the cleaning.
• “Maximum detour for the cleaner”: 20 minutes to start with.
• A billing category, chosen in “Accounting automations”, can be added to the cleaner's cleaning.
• In Human resources, each person can have their own yes / no and their own capacity.

In the day's proposal

• Each suggestion arrives in “Decisions to make”, with the total saving, the minutes saved by the delivery driver (and their number of stops), the minutes added to the cleaner's day, what they carry and the time of return to the depot.
• “Apply” asks for confirmation, removes the stop from the round and adds the depot visits to the cleaner's day. “Ignore” and “Cancel” remain possible until validation.
• No suggestion when the cleaner would exceed a maximum, when the detour is too long, when nothing is saved, when their means of transport or starting address is missing, or when the property shares a building stop with other properties.

For the cleaner and at the depot

• In “My day”, two “Depot” steps appear at the right time, with the address: “Collect the items” (“I have collected the items” button) and “Return to the depot” (“Linen dropped off” button). They also work offline.
• On the property's job: “Items with you · no delivery to wait for”.
• If the items are not collected 15 minutes before the cleaning, a line appears in Alerts & tracking (no text message).
• The depot preparation shows “To hand over to” the cleaner, and the delivery driver's round loses the stop.
