Managing a fleet of drivers and a constant stream of local deliveries is usually a mess of open tabs and constant status checks. This Connector changes that by letting you handle the entire dispatch lifecycle through a conversation with your AI agent. Instead of hunting for order IDs or manually updating a dashboard, you can just ask your agent to see what's currently out for delivery or to find an available driver for a new restaurant order. It connects your delivery backend to your daily workflow, making it feel like you have a dedicated dispatcher sitting right next to you. By connecting Shipday to Vinkius, you get a centralized way to manage these logistics without the friction of traditional software interfaces. You can move orders between drivers, pull metadata for specific deliveries, and keep your customers updated on progress in real-time. It takes the manual heavy lifting out of local logistics, letting you focus on growing your business while the agent handles the where is my stuff and who is picking this up questions. ## Tools ### list_drivers Displays a full list of drivers in your system for assignment.

Would you like me to assign one of them to your next order? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the status of order #12345? ``` **Response:** ``` Order **#12345** is currently **Out for Delivery**. * **Driver:** Mike R. * **Status:** In transit * **ETA:** 4 minutes Would you like me to send a notification to the customer with this update? ``` **Prompt:** ``` List all active orders for the downtown area. ``` **Response:** ``` I've found 3 active orders in the downtown area: * **#ORD-992**: Picked up (Downtown Plaza) * **#ORD-995**: Out for delivery (Main St) * **#ORD-998**: In transit (Riverside) Do you need the tracking details for any of these? ``` ## Capabilities ### Assign drivers to orders Connect a specific driver to a delivery to start the transit process. ### Create new delivery orders Add new jobs to your queue with customer and restaurant details. ### Track real-time progress Get live updates on where a delivery is and its current status. ### List active orders See every delivery currently in progress across your entire fleet. ### Update order status Change the current state of an order to keep everyone in the loop. ### Monitor driver directory Access your full list of drivers to see who is available for work. ### Cancel or delete orders Remove orders from the active queue when they are no longer needed. ## Use Cases ### The Lunch Rush A restaurant manager asks the agent to list all active orders and assign the nearest three drivers to the highest priority ones. This handles the peak period without the manager having to manually click through a complex dashboard. ### The Late Delivery A customer calls about a late pizza. The support rep asks the agent for the tracking progress of that specific order. The agent pulls the data instantly, allowing the rep to give a helpful update without putting the customer on hold. ### The Driver Swap A driver calls in sick. The ops lead asks the agent to find another available driver and reassign all their pending orders. This keeps the delivery pipeline moving without manual data entry for every single order. ### The New Shipment A retail store needs to send a package. They tell the agent the customer details and let it create the order automatically. It saves the clerk from having to log into a separate portal just to book a local delivery. ## Benefits - Stop tab-switching between your delivery dashboard and chat apps.
