Delivery Trip
A Delivery Trip keeps track of deliveries done in one vehicle to more than one customer or stop. It helps logistics teams plan, track, and improve deliveries based on Delivery Notes that are already there.
Each stop on a Delivery journey is connected to a Customer and a Delivery Note, which makes it easy to keep track of what was delivered on each journey.
