Driver Availability module aims to provide companies with precise booking allocation when drivers are in limited capacity.
What does Driver Availability module do?
When enabled, the system performs a check if any driver is available to complete a job.
Driver availability depends on:
- driver's working hours (each driver can set his own working hours).
- driver's accepted bookings. Each booking time slot consist of:
*extra time before booking (admin can set amount in minutes)
*base (driver can set location) to Pickup journey time
*pickup to drop-off actual booking journey time
*pickup to base journey time
*extra time after booking (admin can set amount in minutes)
If drivers are available, the customer will be able to choose the drivers' vehicle from a list and make a booking.
In this case driver is automatically assigned.
If no vehicle is available at a particular date and time, a Contact link is displayed instead.
