Delivery operations

Make driver groups part of the delivery plan.

Use driver groups to organize the assignment logic behind different delivery workflows, then define the rules your team needs to operate with confidence.

Availability, assignment criteria, routing behavior, and reporting depend on the selected products, configuration, integrations, and delivery services.

A deliberate assignment model

Turn operational distinctions into a shared delivery plan.

Groups give operations teams a way to frame delivery assignment around the conditions that matter to their model. Set the criteria and behavior that fit your delivery operation.

  1. 01

    Define the groups

    Start with the operational distinctions your delivery team needs to recognize.

  2. 02

    Set the rules

    Document which order and driver conditions should be considered for each group.

  3. 03

    Confirm the flow

    Validate assignment behavior, exceptions, integrations, and ownership before you go live.

  4. 04

    Review the result

    Decide which group activity and delivery outcomes your operation needs to review.

Capability areas

Use groups to ask better delivery questions.

Use these areas to plan how driver groups support assignment, visibility, and operating decisions for your delivery setup.

The operations view

Keep the group model visible to the people who run delivery.

Driver Groups can inform the operational view of assignments and coverage. Agree on the conditions, exceptions, and reporting needs before the workflow is configured.

  • Group ownership — who maintains the operational rules?
  • Delivery coverage — which delivery types need distinct handling?
  • Review signals — which activity should the operation monitor?

Configuration questions

Confirm the decision points before relying on a group rule.

Choose grouping criteria that fit your delivery model, such as brand, payment method, service area, or team responsibility.

Which products and delivery services are in scope? Which rules and exceptions require verification? Which data, integrations, and reports are required?
