Zone Sets & Zone Pricing

Zone pricing allows you to create a flexible pricing table using customized zones. Your first step is to create a zone set; this zone set will contain all of your zones, and usually includes your entire service area. Each zone in the zone set will be assigned their own rates in the pricing table. A typical pricing table will include all the possible combinations (e.g. Zone A to Zone B, Zone A to Zone C, and Zone B to Zone C), but you can confine a price list to only show rates going to and from a single zone. Click on the zone set on the left, and select 'Add Zone' to name your zone.

Next, you'll need to define each zone by adding cities, postal codes, or even specific companies. Digital Waybill matches zones as specifically as possible, by checking company first, then postal code, then city. So if an address matches its company name in one zone but its city in another, it will be assigned to the zone with the matching company name. Once the pickup and delivery addresses have been assigned to zones, the base price will be determined by pulling the corresponding value from the table.

You can create a price table with all of your zones by adding a 'Zone Based' price list, and choosing the relevant zone set. If you'd like to confine your price list to only one zone (that is, all the orders will have an address in that zone as either the pickup or delivery address), you can select the 'Single Zone' option and select your base zone from the drop-down menu. From there, it's simply a matter of filling in all the rates per zone and service type.
