You can use this function to send simple service orders to YellowFox tablets. These contain only one destination and an order text. The order can return status messages and you are able to attach a form, which the driver has to fill-out after executing the order. You can e.g. use this to model delivery notes.
All customers who need more than this can use the Tour Webservice, located at https://yfox.li/tour. The Tour Webservice is already included in the YellowFox subscription and can be used for free after activation. Beside all functions that are supported by orders, tours offer a lot more. You are able to define multiple pick-up and delivery stations or use YellowFox workflows. By using workflows you can define precisely what the driver has to do in which order. Multi-langual status messages are also possible, as well as multiple shipments for a single address. Even by building a tour with just one destination it will still be much more powerful than a simple order.
To unlock to Tour Webservice for free or get further information and help, please contact the YellowFox support.
