Vehicles

Vehicles are the cars, scooters, bikes and vans you deliver with. Drivers are the people who drive them. Vehicles belong to the Fleet module. The plan limit counts vehicles and drivers separately, so a person and their car take up two places in the limit.

What a vehicle is

In the panel: Vehicles. Each entry has a label (what you call the car in the kitchen), a type — Car, Scooter, Bike or Van — and, when you know it, a plate. Click a vehicle to open its card: it shows the current driver or drivers and, when there is exactly one, their live location.

A vehicle without a driver sits. A driver without a vehicle does not leave. There is no single entry combining a driver and a vehicle, so there are two lists. A vehicle has no GPS of its own: the position comes from the driver’s phone, see GPS.

Once you reach the plan limit, you cannot add another vehicle, just as you cannot add another driver. It is the plan limit, not an error in the plate number.

When Fleet is off, the list disappears from the menu, and its address shows “Fleet is off” with a button to Modules. Vehicles stay and return when Fleet is switched on.

Plate and assignment

You enter the plate number in the Polish format, as on the registration certificate, for example WA 12345. The panel stores it in capitals and rejects something that does not look like a Polish plate (“Enter a valid Polish licence plate”). An empty plate does not block saving. Fill it in when you are sure.

You assign a vehicle on the driver card, in the vehicle field. Do it before the driver leaves: the map shows the driver’s GPS position, and an order on the way is tied to whoever drives. An order waiting in the kitchen shows no car or route on the map — you see the order itself.

Deleting a vehicle does not delete the driver. The car is only detached from the driver.
