Navigating the EZ-Runner Screen

Overview of how to generally use the EZ Runner screen

The EZ Runner screen is located on the left-hand side of EZ Suite. It will be your source for information on incoming, outgoing, or already shipped orders that are being delivered by an EZ Runner supported trading group.


Selecting the Correct Yard and the Correct Search

1. When you first select EZ Runner it may seem as though your screen is completely empty. If this happens you will want to make sure you check for a dropdown in the top left to select your yard.

2. To the right of the drop down for your yard there is a dropdown to select a few different Search screens.

3. Depending on which of the Searches you choose your screen will display data relating to that Search. We separate most of this information into three main Searches.

Ready To Ship – Orders that have been sent to an EZ Runner ship via will congregate in this Search. You will be able to select the outgoing Route and see all the parts that need tags made so they can be scanned onto their truck.

In Transit – This Search will show all orders that have been scanned as loaded from your facility but are not yet at their destination.

Receiving – The Receiving Search shows all orders that have been created on EZ Runner with you as their destination, but the order has not yet gotten to you.

Additional Searches
