Bulk transports: number of vehicles and longer time windows

Quick answer

Under Settings → Logistics, you can set the Number of vehicles field to Required for delivery bookings and define longer time windows for bulk transports in the Possible duration for bulk transports field. Bulk transports can span up to 10 hours.

Two options are available for bulk transports: you can capture the number of vehicles via a mandatory field and use longer delivery time windows of up to 10 hours for bulk transports.

“Number of vehicles” mandatory field

The “Number of vehicles” field lets you capture how many vehicles are expected for a bulk transport.

You manage the field under Settings → Logistics → Required fields in the Required fields for delivery bookings section (group “Booking & process”): click Edit, select Required, Optional or Hidden for the field and save.

Set the field to “Required” if, for example, you expect several vehicles per day during the shell construction phase (such as concrete pours). This ensures that the number of vehicles is entered for every booking.

If you no longer need this information later on, for example during the fit-out phase, simply set the field to “Hidden”.

Longer delivery time windows for bulk transports

You can use dedicated, significantly longer delivery time windows for bulk transports:

• Normal transports behave as usual (for example, up to 120 minutes).
• Bulk transports are flexible and can span up to 10 hours.

To set the duration:

1. Open Settings → Logistics → Booking rules.
2. In the General settings for delivery bookings section, click Edit.
3. Under Possible duration for bulk transports, select the time windows you want.
4. Click Save.
