Welcome to the bMobile Tutorial Video Series.
In this video, we will go over the Start-of-Day process, specifically for the Desktop Application. This is performed appropriately at the start of the day before the driver starts his or her route.
The goal of this process is to start the day with the bMobile Route Desktop Application, verify routes are correct, and inventory is properly managed. This process is also a double check for the driver to verify the inventory on his or her truck with the ability to print out load sheets.
