Team Object

The Team object is included in the Create and Update team API requests, and can also be included in various webhooks.

About the Team Object

A team groups together the people and resources needed to fulfill orders from a specific fulfillment center or service area. It can consist of drivers, dispatchers, vehicles, and orders. Teams are essential for managing logistics efficiently, ensuring that the right resources are assigned to each order, and fulfilling deliveries in a timely manner.

For example, a team might cover all orders and drivers associated with a particular store location or could focus on a specific type of delivery, such as refrigerated goods. The team structure allows dispatchers and drivers to coordinate their efforts within a defined scope, which is crucial for streamlining operations and meeting business goals.

Managing Teams

You can also create teams directly in the Bringg Platform.

Assign a Team to an Order

You can assign a team to an order via API by including the team_id or team_external_id field in the Create Order (Task) payload.
