Route Run Tracking | Initiate and Monitor Shipment Route Runs

Learn how to initiate and track shipment route runs in O2VEND Back Office. This tutorial explains the Shipment Route Runs list page, the Route Run initiation form, and the Route Run details screen used to monitor shipments and delivery progress.

What Is a Route Run?

A route run is a delivery execution record created for a selected route and date range.

In simple terms:

Route = Group of beats for delivery
Route Run = Delivery run created for that route

Route runs help businesses:

  • plan deliveries route-wise
  • group multiple beats under one run
  • assign riders and shipping classes to route beats
  • monitor shipments linked to the route
  • track active delivery progress from one screen
