    Article Summary

    You can add Delivery Terms to define when Bringg should consider using specific Own Fleet drivers and external carriers for each order based on the order requirements and your overall strategy. For example, you can specify the service plans, areas, and order types a carrier supports and the maximum weight they can carry. 

    You can expand your business any time by adding to your list of carriers which would Bringg consider for any order, by adding more carriers from our catalog (learn more).


    Auto-assign the best-fitting carrier by creating delivery terms that reflect your strategy and each carrier's capabilities.

    You can create as many terms as you need for each carrier to describe all circumstances when you would use that provider. Each term can contain multiple conditions.

    Bringg evaluates a carrier afresh for every order. It qualifies the carrier if at least one of the terms are True . But within a single term, all its conditions must be True.

    Define the required conditions for each delivery term 

    Tip
    You can independently tweak your strategy anytime by quickly activating or deactivating a delivery term. For example, if a specific condition doesn't apply on weekends, you can easily tell Bringg to ignore that term and then engage it again on Monday morning.

    Before You Begin

    • Confirm you have the Admin user type.
    • Find and connect to carriers for each of your locations and fulfillment offerings using the Carrier Catalog. Learn more.
    • Check that you have signed contracts and are connected with each carrier. Learn more.
    • Understand under which conditions Bringg should consider a carrier as a viable provider for each order. For example, after analyzing report data showing a carrier's strengths and weaknesses, you may want to tweak their delivery terms to serve only in cases where their performance is strongest.

    Procedure

    Step 1: Open Delivery Hub > My Carriers from your navigation bar.

    Access delivery terms for each carrier

     Step 2: Select a carrier or your Own Fleet from the side panel to set the terms of choosing this provider.

    Step 3: Select Delivery Terms from the tabs associated with the carrier you selected.

    Select the Delivery Terms tab

     Step 4: Select Add Delivery Term to define a situation when you want to use this carrier.

     

    Create a new delivery term for this carrier

     Step 5: Select the pencil icon  to change the title of a delivery term.

     We recommend giving a meaningful title to each term to make it easily identifiable, like City Center lightweight. By default, each new term is called Delivery Term. 

    Step 6: Add a new condition inside a delivery term by selecting Add Attribute  and choosing a parameter.

    Enter the required value of that parameter for this condition to be True . It can be at the level of an order (like the order's store name), inventory (like fragile goods), or customer (like zip code).

    For example, select Service Plan and enter the name of the plan required to qualify this provider for orders with that plan.

    Add an attribute and its required value to a delivery term

     

    Tip
    Add as many conditions as needed for this delivery term. If you don't see the parameter you need, contact your Bringg customer service representative.

    Configure the details of this term of delivery.

    Do this...

    Add further conditions inside this delivery term

    Select Add Attribute .

    Prevent assignment of orders that do not match delivery termSelect the checkbox next to Set as hard constraint.
    If a delivery term is marked as a hard constraint and an order's specifications do not match the term, Bringg does not send the carrier a quote request or display it in the manual assignment screen.

    Temporarily deactivate (not remove) an entire delivery term

    Select the toggle to deactivate or activate a delivery term.

    Use this toggle to fine-tune your delivery strategy. For example, to remove a condition on weekends, you can independently deactivate and activate it whenever necessary.

    Remove a condition within a single delivery term

    Select Delete  at the level of the condition within the term.

    Remove an entire delivery term (with all its conditions)

    Select Delete  at the level of the entire term of delivery.

    Step 7: Select Save.
