Vehicle Management

Open and close vehicle shifts, assign delivery zones, lock inventory kits, and manage WMID and shift accountability from one centralized workflow.

What Vehicle Management Covers

Vehicle management in WebJoint focuses on vehicle-level operations and shift accountability. Every delivery shift starts and ends here.

Separate Objects

Vehicles Are Independent From Drivers

Vehicles exist as separate objects from drivers. This supports operations where the delivery service owns vehicles and assigns different drivers per shift.

A vehicle maintains its own identity, WMID association, and inventory kit independent of which driver is assigned. When a new shift starts, the driver changes but the vehicle record stays the same.

Shift Start

Starting a Vehicle Shift

Starting a shift creates the operational record before deliveries begin. All required fields must be completed before the vehicle is active for dispatch.

Driver selection: Assign the driver operating this vehicle for the shift.
Inventory kit selection: Choose a pre-loaded kit or leave blank for warehouse inventory.
Starting cash balance: Record the cash the driver starts with for accountability.
Starting mileage: Log vehicle mileage at shift open for tracking.
Delivery zone assignment: Required. Select one or more zones for order routing.
WMID selection: Associate the vehicle with a Weedmaps ID for order intake.

Once the shift is open, inventory locks to the vehicle. Administrators can still add items and adjust products in the inventory kit during an active shift.

Inventory Assignment

How Are Inventory Kits Assigned?

Kit Assigned

If an inventory kit is selected, deliveries pull from that kit. The kit locks once the shift starts.

No Kit Assigned

If no kit is selected, the system automatically assigns the driver to warehouse inventory. Orders pull directly from the warehouse.

Hybrid Zones

Hybrid zones allow access to both kit and warehouse inventory simultaneously. Drivers cannot deliver inventory they are not assigned.

Inventory locks after shift start. Admins can add items and adjust products during an active shift.

Zone Assignment

How Are Delivery Zones Assigned?

Zones are custom-drawn geographic areas managed on the Delivery Zones page. Zone assignment is required to start a shift. Vehicles can be assigned to multiple zones, and zones can be changed mid-shift.

Dispatch Logic

When multiple drivers are assigned to the same zone, orders route to the driver who can reach the drop-off location fastest.

WMID

What Is WMID and How Is It Used?

Each vehicle is associated with a single WMID (Weedmaps ID). The WMID is assigned per vehicle, not per shift, so it persists across multiple shifts.

A WMID is not required to start a shift. When set, it links the vehicle to its Weedmaps listing for order intake and visibility.

Closing Shifts and Shift Audits

Closing a shift finalizes the operational record and triggers an audit workflow for accountability.

Ending mileage — Record the vehicle mileage at shift close.
Expected cash return — Enter the cash amount the driver is expected to return.
Inventory kit audit — If a kit was used, an audit verifies returned inventory.
Audit assignment — Assign the audit to an employee with a deadline.
Audit expiration date — Set a due date for audit completion.

Shift logs are retained permanently. Shift reports are available through the Reports section for review and compliance documentation.
