Remember delivery hours on the address — not just on today’s stop
Save a shop’s 09:00–13:00 window once, see it on the next search, and optionally let Sort use it — with OpenStreetMap as a best-effort seed.
Some places only take freight in a slice of the morning. You already know the window — the problem is typing it again on every run, or forgetting until the van is already on the wrong side of town.
StopSorted can keep delivery hours on the address, show them when you add the stop again, and optionally feed them into the sorted day.
What you do
- Add a stop the usual way — search, tap the result, open the details card.
- Set Arrival to a Window (or a fixed time) when the place has hours.
- That window is stored against the address for your fleet (or your Play
account). Next search can show Hours 09:00–13:00 on the result.
Build Route and fleet Add stop use the same idea: arrival fields can prefill when hours are known.
Auto-apply (optional)
Under Fleet Settings → Runs (or Play Settings), turn on Auto-apply saved delivery hours if you want known hours written onto new stops so Sort respects them straight away.
Leave it off (the default) if you only want the hint — the stop stays anytime until someone sets Arrival.
Where hours come from
- You — highest priority; never overwritten by maps data.
- Your history — a previous stop at the same place for that fleet or Play
account.
- OpenStreetMap — when nothing is saved, a best-effort nearby
opening_hours tag. Coverage is uneven in Australia; many houses will stay blank. Lookups fail open — search and add-stop never wait on OSM.
Why it matters
Fixed times and windows already shape the sort. Remembering them on the
address means the office and the cab stop re-entering the same shop rule every morning — and optional auto-apply keeps the plan honest when the window is known.
Ready to try this on your fleet?
Create a free fleet account, approve the phones that will run, and sort the first morning. You add a card only when you turn on paid seats. Pricing is by phone that runs, not by login.
