Time Window is the time slot that the service should be performed. For example, the parcel should only be delivered between 9 AM to 12 PM. When the time window is specified, the system will take into consideration of this time constraint when planning the routes.
Time Windows can be used to divide your deliveries into different several time slots.
In the following example, 2 Time Windows have been created – AM from 9 AM to 12 PM; and PM from 1 PM to 6:30 PM.
After planning, the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) will be automatically assigned to the vehicles according to the specified Time Window.
How To Set Up Time Window
