Lesson 12: Filtering Orders by Toll / Route Area

Learn how dispatch filters orders to organize routes faster and improve operational visibility.

Filtering orders correctly helps dispatch group work faster, reduce confusion, and build cleaner routes.

Why This Matters

Dispatch cannot efficiently manage high delivery volume without filtering and organizing orders correctly. Filters help isolate work by area, route, toll region, and operational need.

Filter Orders → Organize Routes → Reduce Chaos → Improve Dispatch Speed

Watch This Example: Filtering Orders by Toll

Watch this walkthrough showing how dispatch filters scheduled orders by toll and route area inside Xcelerator.

Step 1: Open the Order View

Start by opening the order management or scheduled orders screen.

Review active orders
Review scheduled work
Identify route grouping needs
Prepare to filter by operational area

Step 2: Apply Toll or Area Filters

Use filters to isolate deliveries by route region or toll grouping.

Filter by toll area
Group orders geographically
Reduce cross-area routing
Prepare cleaner driver assignments
Improve dispatch visibility

Important:
Good filtering reduces unnecessary driving, improves route structure, and supports on-time delivery performance.

Step 3: Review Filtered Results

Check delivery density
Identify overloaded areas
Spot route balancing opportunities
Review special delivery requirements
Prepare route assignments

Step 4: Build Cleaner Routes

Use the filtered results to support smarter dispatch decisions.

Keep stops geographically tight
Avoid unnecessary toll crossings
Reduce route overlap
Support faster route completion
Improve driver efficiency

Operational Best Practices

Filter before assigning routes
Review route density daily
Keep geographic logic consistent
Reduce random dispatching
Use filters proactively, not reactively

Common Mistakes

Dispatching without filtering first
Mixing unrelated delivery areas
Ignoring toll or traffic logic
Overlapping driver coverage
Building routes manually without organization

Do It Now: Apply a toll or geographic filter and identify one route area that could be improved.

Success Check

You should now be able to:

Filter orders by toll or area
Organize deliveries geographically
Build cleaner route groupings
Reduce route overlap and confusion
Improve dispatch planning speed

Strong filtering creates cleaner routes, faster dispatching, and smoother operations.
