Order Pickup Option from facility

[Madhi Krishnan]

Hey All..
Hope you all are doing well.
I'm looking for a functionality where Customers can pick their orders from
the nearest facility .
The Customer should be able to select the facility and time slot of his
choice.
Is there any  functionality or something related to this that exists in
ofbiz OOTB?

Thanks & Regards

Hello Madhi,

Hope you are doing well.

You can leverage the capabilities of the OOTB data model and achieve this.
Here are some things you need to set up:

- Setup facility data with GeoPoint having latitude/longitude data.
- When the user is accessing the browser, you can identify latitude and
longitude if the user has allowed access to location.
- I have created a JIRA [1] to add a method (getDistanceBetweenGeoPoints)
which you can use to get distance. I will add a patch for this soon. This
will be direct spatial distance between two geo points. You can also use
available Google API's [2]. You need to register for a key to use these
services.
- After that, you can render facilities sorted by distance easily on the
browser.
- For storing desired time slots, you can use estimatedDeliveryDate /
estimatedShipDate fields from OrderItem entity. There are methods available
to set this info into a ShoppingCartItem. These can be furthermore used as
and when required.
