Lesson 14: Shared Stops Logic & Multi-Order Deliveries

Learn how shared stops work inside Xcelerator and how dispatch should manage multi-order delivery locations correctly.

Shared Stops help ROLO reduce unnecessary stops, improve route efficiency, and streamline multi-package deliveries to the same location.

Why This Matters

Many deliveries may go to the same address, building, or customer location. Shared Stops logic helps dispatch combine those deliveries correctly so drivers work faster and routes stay cleaner.

Combine Related Stops → Reduce Duplicate Work → Improve Route Efficiency

Watch This Example: Understanding Shared Stops Logic

Watch this walkthrough explaining how shared stops work inside Xcelerator and how dispatch should manage grouped delivery locations.

Step 1: Understand What Shared Stops Are

Shared Stops combine multiple deliveries going to the same location into one stop workflow.

Multiple packages may share one stop
One location may contain multiple orders
Drivers complete grouped deliveries together
Dispatch visibility stays cleaner
Route efficiency improves

Step 2: Review Grouped Orders Carefully

Dispatch should verify that grouped orders actually belong together.

Confirm address accuracy
Review suite or unit numbers
Check service requirements
Verify delivery timing compatibility
Avoid incorrect stop grouping

Important:
Incorrect shared stop grouping can create delivery confusion, missing packages, and failed deliveries.

Step 3: Understand Operational Benefits

Reduces duplicate stops
Improves route speed
Minimizes unnecessary parking and unloading
Supports cleaner dispatch visibility
Improves driver productivity

Step 4: Monitor Shared Stop Performance

Dispatch should monitor shared stop execution during live operations.

Review delivery completion accuracy
Watch for missing scans or POD
Monitor customer complaints
Check for delayed grouped deliveries
Ensure drivers understand grouped stops

Step 5: Support Drivers with Clear Instructions

Communicate grouped stop expectations clearly
Confirm package counts
Review special delivery instructions
Avoid confusion at large locations
Ensure proper POD for all grouped orders

Operational Best Practices

Use shared stops when operationally logical
Keep grouped deliveries organized
Verify location accuracy carefully
Monitor grouped delivery performance
Train drivers on multi-order workflows

Common Mistakes

Grouping unrelated deliveries together
Ignoring suite or unit differences
Failing to verify grouped package counts
Creating confusion for drivers
Missing POD or scan activity for grouped orders

Do It Now: Review one grouped stop and confirm the orders logically belong together.

Success Check

You should now be able to:

Explain how Shared Stops work
Review grouped delivery logic accurately
Identify incorrect stop grouping
Support drivers during grouped deliveries
Improve route efficiency using shared stops

Shared Stops reduce wasted time, improve routing efficiency, and help ROLO manage high-volume delivery operations cleanly.
