The marketplace feature allows users to push jobs in their Detrack dashboard to their drivers’ phones, for them to grab. This feature caters for ad-hoc jobs or courier companies who wishes to push out the jobs to their drivers to grab. This feature also allows users to set the offer fee tagged to the job being pushed to the “marketplace” for the drivers to view and grab if they wish to. The marketplace feature will help you have your very own “Uber” like private marketplace.
Once the job has been grabbed by a driver, the Detrack dashboard will auto update the “Assign to” field to the name of the device.
To start, you will need to enable the marketplace function:
- Navigate to Settings > Delivery > Fields.
- Enable Open To Marketplace > Save.
- Go to Vehicles, click on the vehicle that you allow to grab marketplace jobs.
- On the Can grab marketplace jobs. Click Save.
- Go to Jobs > Calendar > click on date
- Click on Deliveries or Collections tab. Click Add Delivery or Add Collection form to appear.
- Switch on Open to Marketplace and Save.
Ensure that the job is not assigned to any Driver.
The job will now appear on the Driver’s app under marketplace for the drivers to grab.
