We have now made it easier than ever to import your data into your Zippykind account.  Introducing Uploader Templates, an easy to use drag and drop data field mapping feature.  Easily import your data into your Zippykind account without changing the CSV/Excel column structure using our new Uploader Templates feature. Drag and drop the data fields that you want to import and your done, it’s that easy!

Let’s say you process your orders through your POS (Point of Sale) software program or you use an ecommerce store that isn’t able to connect to our API, using our Uploader feature makes it really easy to import your daily, weekly and monthly deliveries.  Just pick which data fields you want to import and save the template, now you are set and wont need to change anything about your CSV/Excel file.

How Compatible is the Uploader with other Zippykind Features?

If you are wondering whether you will still be able to use the Map Zones feature with the new Uploader, the answer is Yes.  As you will see in the demonstration video below, all deliveries that are imported into Zippykind are run through our Map Zones feature.  So whether you want to automatically assign your delivery drivers based on their respective zone, proximity to the delivery destination or availability, all is possible with our new uploader feature.

Advantages of Driver Map Zones

  • No more manually assigning driver’s to deliveries.
  • No more comparing routes to see which driver would be best for the delivery.

Imagine the time that will be saved.  No more comparing routes, no more manually assigning deliveries to drivers, no more looking up delivery distances, all of this is now automated through Map Zones.

Advantages of Delivery Map Zones

  • No more looking up delivery distance to see if a delivery fee needs to be applied.
  • No more manually adding a delivery fee or relying on employees to know which areas of town should have imposed delivery fees.

Consider all the times you had to lookup the distance between the delivery address and the store to see if a delivery fee needed to be applied to your customers order.  Using map zones, a delivery fee can be automatically applied to delivery destinations further away from your store.

Please watch the demonstration below to get a better understanding of how Map Zones can streamline your entire logistics process.
