Using the Delivery Menu

Created by Devina Eilien, Modified on Thu, 29 Jan at 7:01 PM by Devina Eilien

The Delivery menu is your central command center for managing service deliveries across all customers. This global view helps you plan routes, track progress, and ensure every service gets completed on time.

This guide explains how to navigate and use the Delivery menu effectively for daily operations.

What Is the Delivery Menu?

The Delivery menu is a global view showing all service deliveries across all customers in one place.

Where to find it: Main navigation menu → Delivery

What it shows:

  • All deliveries from all customers

  • Both subscription and one-off deliveries

  • Current status of each delivery

  • Due dates and completion tracking

  • Summary metrics at top

Primary use: Daily planning, route management, and cross-customer delivery tracking


Delivery Menu vs Customer Delivery Tab

Understanding the difference helps you choose the right view:

Delivery Menu (Global)

Shows: All deliveries across ALL customers


Best for:

  • Daily route planning

  • Seeing today's workload

  • Managing overdue services across customers

  • Bulk operations

  • Getting overview of business

Example use: "What services do I have today?"

Customer Delivery Tab

Shows: Deliveries for ONE specific customer only

Best for:

  • Customer-specific service history

  • Investigating individual customer issues

  • Context when already on customer page

  • Reviewing one customer's delivery record

Example use: "Show me Jane Smith's delivery history"

✍️ TIP: Use Delivery menu for daily operations and planning. Use customer Delivery tab when you're already working with a specific customer.

Delivery Menu Interface

Top Metrics

At the top of the Delivery menu, three key metrics provide instant visibility:

Services Due:

  • Count of services scheduled but not yet due

  • Yellow status items

  • Upcoming work to plan

Overdue Services:

  • Count of services past due date not completed

  • Red status items

  • Immediate attention required

Total Completed:

  • Count of recently completed services

  • Green status items

  • Productivity tracking

⚠️ Focus on Overdue Services: This number should stay as close to zero as possible. High overdue count = customer satisfaction risk.

Search and Filter Bar

Below the metrics, you'll find tools to find and organize deliveries:
