Key Capabilities
Real-Time Tracking Updates
When a delivery is active, you don't want the user staring at a loading spinner. You need data to appear immediately. Using `get_tracking_progress`, your AI client streams status changes for a Shipday order as they happen. The UI updates live, giving users an immediate sense of progress without needing manual refreshes.
Building Order Input Forms
Creating new deliveries requires gathering multiple pieces of info: the customer, the restaurant, and the goods. Your agent uses `create_order` to handle this flow. It builds out the necessary input fields in your frontend, allowing users to submit a complete Shipday order record directly from the UI.
Listing Operational Statuses
Sometimes you just need a quick overview of who's working and what's active. This is perfect for an admin dashboard. You can list all available personnel using `list_drivers` or check the status of every job on hand via `list_active_orders`. These tools make building operational dashboards simple and fast.
