What is does
This modules allows users to build geo-routes from combination of partner addresses (res.partner)
Value & Benefit
- Manage unlimited routes with much and details information for each and every route (e.g. distance, average speed, waypoints in routes, etc)
- Inheritance from the existing model res.partner for addressing to shorten learning curves
- Ready for any routing application development (map integration, logistics, transportation, etc)
Key Features
- Route design & building by combining waypoints
- Each waypoint is link to an address (res.partner model)
- Route sections is automatically computed and created combining two addresses of two consecutive waypoints in the route
- Users can set distance and average moving speed for each and every section
- Estimated Moving time through a section is computed base on the distance and the average moving speed of the section
- Built for other extensions:
- sales delivery routes preparation
- fleet operation tracking
- transportation pricing
- automatic distance calculation is possible maybe when integrated with base_geolocalize module
- etc
Who should use this module
This module is suitable for companies that need to manage routes and optimize transportation processes, including:
- Logistics and Transportation Companies: Manage delivery routes, coordinate vehicles.
- Distribution and Retail Companies: Optimize distribution channels and transportation between branches.
- Service Providers: Plan routes for on-site services like technicians.
- Supply Chain Managers: Optimize delivery routes and order fulfillment.
Editions Supported
- Community Edition
- Enterprise Edition
Installation
- Navigate to Apps.
- Find with keyword to_geo_routes.
- Install it as usual then you are done.
Concepts
- Route Section: is a section defined by two addresses where each Address (aka From and To) is a partner record. This design model to ensure short learning curve and easy to extend and fully integrated with existing features in the system.
- Waypoint: also known as Route Waypoint, is a model that presents an instance of an Address which creates a data link between a Route and an Address in the system.
- Section Line: also known as Route Section, is a model that presents an instance of a Section which creates a data link between a Route and an Route Section in the system.
- Route: is a model to present a route that defined by Waypoints and Sections. Then the system will automatically find and link the related Sections and Addresses for the Route.
Instructions
- Without other modules that extending this module, you are required to be a system administrator to access the module's menu: Settings > Geo-Routes. If you have other modules that developed on top of this, there should be other ways to access the features. For example, if you have the module to_fleet_operation_planning installed, you may access the features through Fleet Operation > Routes & Waypoints which does not required administrator access rights. In this document, it is assumed that you have administration access rights.
- Define a new Route:
- Navigate to Settings > Geo-Routes > Routes to see the routes list view.
- Press Create to open the route form view, on which you can input:
- The name of the route. For example: Hanoi to Ha Long Bay via Hai Phong City.
- In the Waypoint tab, press Add a line to add waypoints for your route.
- In the Section Lines tab, you can add information about distance and average speed. The estimated time will be automatically computed.
