f you’ve ever looked at your route and thought, “Didn’t I just deliver to this place?” – welcome to the club. You’re not imagining it. When five different customers in the same building place orders, your map gets messier.
Delivering multiple packages to the same location but logging them as separate stops can clog your route, waste time, and drain your patience.
That’s exactly why we built Zeo’s Multiple SKUs feature. It lets you group multiple stops with the same address automatically and keep your route clean, efficient, and stress-free.
Whether you’re delivering to a high-rise apartment block or an office building with ten different recipients, this feature takes the chaos out of delivery route optimization.
Why Zeo Introduced the Multiple SKUs Feature
Let’s say you’re delivering to 45 stops. Five of them are in the same apartment complex, same gate, same building, maybe even the same floor. But your route planner treats them as five different stops. What happens next?
- You loop around the same block multiple times.
- Your map looks more complex.
- You lose precious time and effort.
This is what we call the same location stop chaos, and it adds up fast on busy delivery days.
We understand the frustration drivers face, going back and forth to the same place, repeatedly. The root cause? Most route planners don’t recognize that multiple deliveries at the same latitude and longitude should be treated as one location.
So we built the Multiple SKUs feature into Zeo Route Planner. It detects these same location stops with the same latitude and longitude, bundles them under one pin, and lets you still deliver and track each order separately.
Let’s understand how it will make your life easier.
