Map Tools & Email Polishes
We snuck in some bug fixes and new smaller features that have been on the list for a minute. There were lingering zone zoom & color picker bugs that are now a thing of the past! In addition, we were able to add in a few things that have been on the list for awhile:
MAP ZONE TOGGLE
When you have more than a few zones it used to be really tricky to determine how each one related to the others, since you could only see one at a time. Now, when you're editing a specific zone, you can toggle any/all of the others to see right where you're at. So slick. Now it is possible & easy to get corresponding zones perfectly aligned to each other.
MAP POINT (VERTEX) DELETE
When drawing map zones in BDP, it can be easy to get a bit carried away and accidentally create too many points in a zone/polygon. Now, with a simple double-click, you can quickly and easily delete points and simplify your zones. Whew...finally.
CUSTOMER PRICE CHECK
Sometimes one of your customers will call and ask for a quick price check. They could just look on your BDP-generated pages to figure it out but as long as their on the phone you need an easy way to get them an answer. Go to your own BDP site (be sure your cart is empty) and pretend to place the material order that they are interested in. Enter in the customer-provided delivery address and then (on the time-picker screen) click on the material image/icon/button near the top of the screen. From there you'll be presented with the full cost, including any additional outer zone fees.
WEB APP ICONS
BulkDelivery PRO is a "web app", meaning that you'll be using your phone/desktop browser instead of a "native" app. This makes things exponentially easier to update/improve/iterate on from a development perspective. You can also still save a "shortcut" to the BDP system right onto your phone so that it appears like any other "app". We've recently added the ability to also customize the image that is used for your app icon. This is a great way to keep your branding throughout, and makes it much easier for your drivers to find the right icon on their phones.
Lastly, we polished up some of the various email templates that get sent out with BDP so that the layout matches what you're used to seeing in the estimates and order receipts. Starting tomorrow, we're digging into something BIG. Stay tuned.
