New - Lunchtime Routes and Grouped Routes
This feature allows you to have a route that does more than just an AM/PM trip each day. Grouped routes can be used where the same route
does an AM/PM and also maybe a Lunchtime “out and return”. Some of our clients use this system where a single provider does several routes
each day on the same vehicle and wants to print route sheets that show all routes on that vehicle that day/week etc.
There is a new List form called Grouped Routes:
This system allows you to bill separately and have 3 independent routes all of which can be managed separately even though they all go on the
same vehicle. We advise using good Route Codes and Names to identify these grouped routes.
