Article summary

Configure service plans to add variations to your order flows and respond to specific fulfillment scenarios. Once you create service plans, implement them in your order flows to assign orders to the right carriers and drivers, set the order's priority, and automatically schedule deliveries at the right time.

For example, you can create a service plan called Installation and configure it to automatically let drivers know what installation services you committed to the customer, update the order's estimated time on site, and add a driver action to submit proof of installation before check out.

Before You Begin

  • Confirm you have a Bringg user of type Admin.
  • Make a list of your service plans that considers any service level agreements SLAyou want to incorporate in your fulfillment strategy.
  • (Optional) Ask your IT integrator for the external IDs of the service plans you are adding to Bringg to minimize updates to payloads.

Automate order updates

To automaticallyupdate the details or status of orders with this service plan, add it as a trigger or condition for an automation. 

For example, you can automatically update any order with a VIP service plan to a high rank to change its priority.

Assign carriers by service plan

Using the Carrier Selector, you can automatically assign orders with specific service plans to a prioritized list of carriers.

To filter possible carriers for an order, create a delivery term using a service plan as a condition. For example, assign orders with a same-day delivery service plan only to carriers that can guarantee delivery in that time frame.
