There are two types of route chaining:

• Downstream: When chaining is going in the direction of the operational workflow. Chaining happens from pickup to delivery. 

• Upstream: When chaining is happening in the opposite direction of the operational workflow. This is the chaining required for integrations.

Downstream Chaining

There are two ways to set up route chaining:

...

1. Scan a parcel in Nextstop.

2. Select the stop where the unexpected parcel will be delivered.

Upstream Chaining

Delivery stops are imported into X Dispatch, then the parcels on the delivery stops are linked to the load stops. Load stops can also be linked to receive stops, if appropriate for the operational workflow of the integration.
