Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dispatch planner and what role does it play in fleet operations?icon
A dispatch planner is a software tool that enables fleet dispatchers to assign vehicles and drivers to loads, plan and optimise routes, schedule trips, and coordinate multi-stop deliveries efficiently. It acts as the operational nerve centre, providing a real-time view of fleet capacity, load requirements, and execution status, replacing manual coordination through calls, spreadsheets, and whiteboards.
How does automated dispatch optimisation differ from manual dispatch planning?icon
Manual dispatch relies on human judgment and experience, which becomes inefficient at scale. Automated dispatch optimisation uses algorithms to evaluate all vehicles, loads, constraints, and routes simultaneously, identifying the most efficient allocation in seconds. This significantly improves performance, especially in large, multi-stop operations.
What information does a dispatcher need to manage in a fleet dispatch planner?icon
Dispatchers manage real-time vehicle status, driver availability and compliance, incoming load requirements, vehicle capacity, route planning and ETAs, customer communication needs, and exception scenarios such as delays or breakdowns. A good system consolidates all this into a single dashboard.
How does a dispatch planner integrate with customer order management systems?icon
Integration allows automatic creation of load records in the dispatch planner when orders are confirmed in ERP or WMS systems. It eliminates manual entry, speeds up dispatch, and enables real-time status updates to flow back to customer systems via APIs or file-based integrations.
How does real-time visibility in dispatch planning improve delivery SLA performance?icon
Real-time tracking allows dispatchers to proactively identify delays and take corrective actions before SLA breaches occur. This includes rerouting vehicles, prioritising deliveries, or notifying customers early, improving overall delivery reliability.
What metrics should a fleet organisation track to measure dispatch planning effectiveness?icon
Important metrics include on-time delivery rate, vehicle utilisation, stops per vehicle per day, empty kilometre ratio, planning time per dispatch cycle, and SLA exception rate. These metrics help evaluate efficiency, cost control, and service performance.
