Building the running order
Planning starts from the last appointment and works backwards. Each address is checked for its actual set-down point rather than its postcode centroid, and the gap between stops is measured against the time of day instead of a flat average. A meeting at 09:00 on Bishopsgate and one at 10:15 in Victoria are twenty minutes apart at some hours and forty at others.
The finished sheet lists the sequence, the address, the building entrance, the contact at each stop and the intended departure time. It is issued to every chauffeur working the day and to whoever is running the schedule on the client side. One document, one version, no verbal amendments.
- Confirmed set-down point for every address, not just the postcode
- Journey allowances calculated for the hour each leg is driven
- Named contact and building entrance recorded per stop
- A held slot placed where the day is most likely to slip
