Salespeople will be able to view the total available space within a truck on any given day and use this to determine if more can be sold to be shipped on that truck. This tool will allow salespeople to sell with confidence while making life easier for operations since the space availability will be monitored by the system. Whenever salespeople add items to any order for a particular carrier, the system will display a progress bar indicating the usage on that truck.

Setting per carrier

Keep in mind that in order to get accurate results you have to set the box dimensions for each of the box types that you have in the system. This way the system will be able to calculate the truck usage that the sales team will see on the Order Entry screen.

Creating orders

Once your carriers and box dimensions are all set, you can now proceed to create the orders as usual. This time, whenever the sales team starts to create orders for a particular day and carrier they will be able to see how much of the truck capacity is used and if there is room for more orders to be shipped on that same truck.

The Truck Usage progress bar will show the sales team the available space they have to keep placing orders that will be shipped by that particular carrier and date.

This is how it will look like:
