A timed delivery is not helped by its postcode living in one message and the access note in another. Keep the job address on the booking.
Online booking
Customers choose an available window and enter the job postcode and contact details, leaving the office with a booking rather than a vague message.

Give a depot collection, waiting slot or dedicated van the time it really occupies, then see what the afternoon can still take.
Learn moreTimed collections, waiting at goods-in and the drive itself all occupy the van. The diary should admit as much.
The job address stays on the booking, preventing the familiar hunt through messages when a different driver takes the collection.
An afternoon dedicated van blocks an afternoon, so a short-looking pickup cannot be booked into time already promised elsewhere.
Drag a delayed goods-in slot to its new time and retain the assigned customer, agreed price and delivery details without a replacement booking.
Some long jobs deserve the drive. That does not mean every distant postcode belongs on the public diary.
Open times are compared by the extra driving they add. Your existing round remains in the order you gave it.
Driver hours, booked work and travel time rule out gaps that only look empty, leaving a shortlist the van can actually reach.
Where two windows both fit, the one adding less driving appears first. It is a useful suggestion, not an unseen dispatch decision.
The system ranks places for one new collection. It does not redesign the multi-drop round or move an accepted delivery automatically.
Built for your runs
Hold the timed delivery against the assigned driver, with the job postcode and named contact available in the same record.
Repeat the account route from one setup on Free, rather than asking the depot to confirm tomorrow’s identical collection again.
Sell the tail-lift van separately and allow for the booked loading slot, so the next collection is not resting on a heroic turnaround.
Reserve the occupied span for the round while each van remains visible on the shared diary for the office.
Keep it off the public booking page by setting your service area, then add it yourself when the mileage suits the load.
Rank feasible start times by added driving and choose the opening that asks least of an already busy round.
Keep their sites, contacts and previous collections under one customer, so the next booking begins with facts rather than recollection.
Drag the job later without detaching the price, customer or delivery note, and leave the original entry out of the way.
Quote the block as its own job and reserve the full span, rather than squeezing several hours of driving into a nominal collection time.
The account that books the same run every weekday is not a booking. It is a standing arrangement, and it should have been set up once.
A daily run repeats on the Free plan and ends never, on a date you choose, or after a set number of runs, so nobody re-enters it two hundred times.
A standing run is a real booking on a real day, so a Tuesday that has to shift gets dragged like any other job rather than unpicked and rebuilt.
Two hundred small jobs sit under one customer with the addresses they use, so the relationship is legible without opening two hundred bookings.
A reference from an account is useful only when the office can tell which delivery it settled.
Add a bank transfer and paid-on date to the booking on Free, keeping the transaction beside the parcel or van job it covered.
If an account pays only some of the balance, record that amount and leave the remainder outstanding on the same delivery.
Money collected by the driver can be marked on the booking too, so the office is not reconciling the day from notes in cab pockets.
