Configuration
Before configuring this module, you must configure your account and your resources on the TourSolver website. Then you should be able to get your api key and paste it in the default backend. You can access to backends list under the setting menu of the inventory module.
The second step is to create the resources. You can add the properties you want TourSolver to use in its calculation of the best route.
For advanced planning, you can define your customer delivery windows. It will be considered in TourSolver calculation.
For more details about the properties you can use, please consult [TourSolver documentation](https://mygeoconcept.com/doc/6cc656Uv7gARvG6T/ts-cloud-doc/docs/en/toursolver-cloud-book/)
Usage
In the shipment planner you will see a new option added to the planning methods. If you select TourSolver, a TourSolver task per warehouse will be created for the pickings you want to plan.
The task will pass through different states by a dedicated cron and at the end of the process will create shipment advices according the returned result from TourSolver.
Known issues / Roadmap
At this stage, the TourSolver task is managed by a cron which will synchronize its status with TourSolver and get the result when it is ready. Another approach is available using queue jobs where the sync task will be rescheduled until it gets the optimization result.
Ideally, a webhook can be developed to be notified by toursolver when the result is ready. He will ensure that the result is obtained as soon as possible.
