You can configure reasons in Bringg to track why a driver cannot accept an order assignment.
The list of reasons displays in the Bringg Driver App when your drivers reject order assignments. They select whichever reason best reflects their situation. You can then use these inputs to help troubleshoot and streamline your fulfillment operations.
Enable drivers to explain an assignment rejection
For example, create reasons like Too far away or Car broke down. The reasons then display in the Bringg Driver App, and the driver can select whichever applies when rejecting an order assignment.
Before You Begin
Confirm you have a Bringg user of type Admin.
Work with your colleagues to determine a list of scenarios in which your drivers may reject an assignment.
Tip
You can also assign Settings privileges to specific dispatchers so that they can add reasons as well.
Step 2: Create reasons that a driver may choose for rejecting an order assignment by selecting + Reason.
Add your reasons one at a time
Enter the reason text, as it should appear to the driver, by selecting the edit icon. For example, you can add reasons like vehicle capacity is full or need to refill gas. You can also add reasons for the vehicle breaking down, or the driver being too far away from the destination.
Note
Limit your reasons to 56 characters so that they appear properly on a mobile device.
The list of reasons displays in alphabetical order in the Bringg Driver App when your drivers reject order assignments. They then select whichever reason best reflects their situation.
Drivers select the reason that reflects their situation
Step 3: (Optional) Contact your Bringg customer service representative to assign certain teams specific reasons from the list. Otherwise, all reasons will appear for all drivers in each team you manage.
Note
If you set your drivers to automatically accept order assignments, the option to reject order assignments does not display.
Step 4: Remove a reason from the list by hovering over the reason and selecting the trash icon.
Step 5: Use the assignment rejection reasons to troubleshoot and improve your operations.

Determine when and why a driver rejected the assignment.
View the reason the driver selected in the context of the order's lifecycle in the order activity log.
Determine when and why a driver rejected the assignment
Trigger specific actions based on the reason the driver selects.
For example, if drivers frequently reject assignments because they are too far away from the destination, consider adjusting your route optimization settings so that they receive order assignments in closer proximity.

An order is a request for the fulfillment of goods and services at a specific address. It includes all information needed to complete it, such as the requested service or goods, the customer’s contact information, required services (such as fragile care), and the time window.
The Bringg Driver App is a mobile app on iOS and Android which extends Bringg's functionality to you, a driver. When dispatchers assign orders or update routes, each appears instantly in the Driver App as a list of destinations, which you can navigate to by launching your preferred navigation app directly from the Driver App, view all order details and instructions, complete handoff actions, and keep dispatchers automatically updated on the progress of your route, such as when traffic causes delays. When you approach a destination or fulfillment center, the Driver App can automatically check you in, triggering automatic notifications to the consumer and dispatcher that you are about to arrive, all without you taking your hands off the wheel.
An alert is Bringg's way to tell you there is a problem with the fulfillment process, enabling you to trust Bringg's automated processes for most cases, and focus instead on managing by exception. You can check alerts about the order itself, about the driver, or relating to the automatic route creation process (route optimization).
Run Bringg's route optimization (RO) to reduce costs by organizing your orders into the fastest, most efficient planned routes, where each order arrives at its destination within its designated time window. If you have an Own Fleet, RO can also assign each route to a vehicle or driver who is available at that time and has the correct skills to fulfill the orders. You can configure RO with preferences like the maximum length of a route, the time on site (TOS), the time to load the vehicle, predicted and real time traffic patterns, and so on.
For example, you can ask to set route optimization (RO) to limit the number of destinations on a route, or to use the minimum number of vehicles in a route.
Each time you run route optimization on the same group of orders you may well receive a different result, as there are multiple ways to organize the same group of orders into efficient routes. Instead of reshuffling all orders each time, build on your existing plans by making focused changes where they are required using the route planner.
You can run RO manually or automatically at set days and times, for select teams or across the entire organization.
On demand orders typically use AutoDispatch (AD) instead.
