Take an Order / Job Entry

How to take an order / job entry for a customer

Order entry is a simple step-by-step process, used by dispatchers and customers alike.

WIMP’s exclusive Street Address Validation plus the geocode ensures precise location for delivery.

A geocode map shows the destination for the driver. If it’s a scheduled run, our Spelling Assist auto-fills the information for you, and alerts you if there’s a typo. Find or sort customers by multiple methods such as most used, most recent, all callers, or by address.

Automated cut-off times and job type is very useful when, for example, a customer calls in an order at 4pm for a same-day delivery…WIMP would not allow an economy price, knowing that a 1-hour delivery is a rush job.

Also, it works with or without a mouse.

Our Job Entry was built with dispatchers and customer users in mind. The screen is the same, but the customer would have limited information. This security, role-based method will be tailor-made for your business.

How can we be so inexpensive?

WIMPmaster — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:23:54 +0000

With labor being the largest expense for most businesses, we felt this was the first category to address. Most software developers are using propriety software with a very small pool of programmers available to hire from. New employees take longer to train, which could take months before being available to contribute any valuable work. We solved this problem by building our Tracking Software, incorporating a variety of the most current, popular technology. Hence, with a large pool of programmers now available, we can pass the savings on to you.

How can I price my walkers different than the rest of the fleet?

WIMPmaster — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:59:55 +0000

For those walkers in congested downtown areas, you can now count blocks and price accordingly. Just setup the Zones for your downtown area. Next, be sure to assign a numeric value to the Latitude and Longitude fields. The program will find the distance between Latitudes and Longitudes and add accordingly.

Example: Zone A1 is 3 blocks west of D3 and 2 blocks north. 3 + 2 = 5 blocks.

Can I set it up to give away first 10 pounds or 15 minutes of waiting time for free?

WIMPmaster — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 19:28:51 +0000

Yes. Just add a wait, mileage, piece count or weight record with the Lower Limit set to zero. In Upper Limit put in the amount you want to give away for free.

For example: 15 lbs. with 10lbs. for free….you will multiply 5lbs. by your rate and charge accordingly.
