With Auto Merge, orders with the exact coordinate will be put together in the exact vehicle and back-to-back order. This will prevent orders from the same customer from being put into different vehicles, which can happen in the optimization process.
Activate the Auto Merge
To activate Auto Merge, follow these steps:
- Go to the Routing/Configuration menu.
- Check the “Auto Merge” checkbox.
With Auto Merge activated, visits with identical coordinates will no longer be assigned to different vehicles, ensuring optimal resource utilization.
Example: The visits named “Windsor Hansen” and “Jannes Everts” share the same coordinates (-6.562204079109113,106.80967540179249), indicating that they will be processed by the same vehicle:
It’s important to note that the Auto Merge feature does not physically merge visits together. Instead, it ensures that visits with identical coordinates are not assigned to different vehicles.
