Hi @Cyrine S . Depending on which method you use, you can set the logic to order by distance. If you use a dispatcher in the "Pass To" field set it to shortest distance. If you are using a list you can query by distance.

Here's an example model. I put all the operators in a group and then created a list that adds all members of the group I created to that list. Then in the Exit Transfer properties I had it pull from that list and ordered the list by distance so that the closest operator is always used.pull-closest-operator.fsm
