# Set Up Delivery Blocks for Multiple Teams

Beta

Contact your Bringg representative to discuss eligibility for early adoption of this feature.

Create schedules of daily delivery hours (shifts) and apply them to multiple teams using delivery block templates.

You can build schedules with recurring hours on specific days of the week to reflect your available capacity. A dd breaks and time to reload between routes to keep both drivers and loading docks working efficiently. Then, define the date range and maximum number of drivers and vehicles available for each team.

For example, create recurring schedules with shifts 9 am-6 pm, each with two breaks of 30 minutes, plus 20 minutes to reload between routes. Then assign that block to one team with a maximum resource capacity of six drivers, and to another team with a maximum of ten.

NoteDelivery block templates are available exclusively to those using Bringg's resource-based optimization.  Contact your Bringg representative to get started.

### Before You Begin

- Confirm you have a user of type or Admin.

### Access Delivery Blocks

Access delivery block templates by selecting **Settings** **> Delivery Blocks.**

### **Create a Delivery Block Template**

**Step 1:** Begin a new delivery block template by selecting Create.

**Step 2:** Name and describe the schedule you want to build.

For example, name your holiday schedule Holidays to distinguish it from the weekday schedule.

#### Set delivery block timing

Set the timing of this delivery block, whether it recurs at regular intervals, or if it includes breaks.

For example, you can create delivery blocks that recur weekly Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and include a one-hour lunch break in the middle of the day.

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Time Range** | Select the start and end times of the delivery blocks. For example, create a 4-hour shift block from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. |
| **Recurrences** | Define the recurrence details by defining: - If this shift repeats on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. - The days of the week on which the block occurs. - When the recurrence should end. Tip!We recommend choosing **Never** to prevent accidental gaps in your delivery block schedule. When the delivery block schedule changes, for example at the end of the year, you can edit it to end it at that date so that you can start a new recurring block going forward. |
| **Breaks** | Define the types of breaks and their duration within this set of delivery blocks. - Enter the type of break, break duration, time range for taking the break, and the allowed location for taking a break. For example, you may set a 1 hr break at the fulfillment center between 12-14 PM as your driverlunch break. - Flex: Select to define a break that drivers can take any time within the specified time range. - Fix Select if you require mandated breaks at specific times. Typically, this helps ensure drivers return to the fulfillment center. - Add additional breaks at different points during the day by selecting **+Add break** and entering the break details. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a18074ef-073a-4ab1-bcab-12625715280e/Images/Documentation/image-1678454136106.png)***Define the breaks within a shift / delivery block*** |
| **Reload Time** | Specify a time when your drivers can return to the fulfillment center to reload between routes. For example, instruct them to return at 9:00 am.Reloading duration automatically combines the preset times for both loading and unloading. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a18074ef-073a-4ab1-bcab-12625715280e/Images/Documentation/su-owned_deliveryblocks_reload.png)***Configure a time to reload between routes*** |

#### Assign delivery blocks to teams

Assign the delivery block to one or more teams by selecting **+Select Teams**.

**Step 1:** Choose the team(s) you wish to add. Select **OK**. All teams added to a time block share a particular set of dates and a maximum number of resources for that shift.

***Assign teams for this template***

**Step 2:** Define the maximum quantity of resources the selected team(s) can use when choosing the delivery block.

**Step 3:** Add the applicable dates for using that shift template.

**Step 4:** Preserve the set of specifications for a shift by selecting **+Add Teams**.

**Step 5:**Preserve team specifications for the template by selecting **Save**.

#### Add drivers and vehicles

[Assign drivers and vehicles](/v1/docs/define-shifts-and-availability-of-resources-with-delivery-blocks) to a specific team's delivery block.

### **Manage Delivery Blocks**

To view or adjust a delivery block template, select it from the menu and start editing.

A fulfillment center is your home base and where you prepare orders for dispatch. It might be a store, warehouse, factory, garage, or restaurant.

You can configure Bringg to automatically perform actions when drivers approach your fulfillment center. For example, you can make a driver available for AutoDispatch, or take them on and off shift, without requiring them to manually check in. These actions are called home events.

Each team has at least one fulfillment center, and each fulfillment center can have one or more service areas.
