. Here’s a detailed step-by-step process of how a bid driver fulfills orders in your described system:
1.Accepting the Order:
. After accepting the order assignment, the bid driver reads the order details including pickup and delivery dates and approximate times.
2.Customer
Notification:
. The bid driver contacts the customer via call or text message to confirm the time of arrival for picking up the clothes.
3.Weighing and Verification:
. Upon arrival, the bid driver collects all the clothes and places them in a shopping bag.
. The bid driver weighs the order to determine the total weight, rounding to the nearest pound.
. A picture of the weighed clothes is taken as proof and sent to the customer.
4.Updating Order Details:
. The bid driver updates the customer's order cart, which reflects the final bill based on the weight and any additional services requested.
5.Bagging and Labeling:
. The bid driver transfers the laundry into their own bags.
. Labels with the customer’s order number are attached to ensure no mixing of clothes between customers or with the pro launderer's other orders.
6.Delivery to Pro Launderer:
. The bid driver transports the clothes to the designated pro launderer for cleaning.
7.Notification of Completion:
. The bid driver receives a notification once the pro launderer has completed cleaning the order.
8.Customer Delivery:
. After receiving notification, the bid driver contacts the customer again to arrange delivery.
. The bid driver delivers the cleaned clothes to the customer during the scheduled delivery time.
. A picture of the delivery is taken as confirmation.
9.Customer Interaction:
. Upon delivery, the customer has the option to tip the bid driver and provide ratings for both the bid driver and the pro launderer based on their experience.
This process ensures that orders are handled efficiently and with clear communication between the bid driver, pro launderer, and customer, from initial pickup to final delivery. It also includes measures like weighing for transparency and labeling to prevent mix-ups, ensuring a smooth and reliable service experience.
