Dispatch

Transport dispatch software: the calendar, the map and the driver, on one desk

See which trucks are committed and which are free, assign the driver, watch the load move, and get the delivery confirmation from the driver's phone. Built for the dispatch desk of a transport company.

*No credit card required

The calendar

Booking Schedule shows every load by month, planner or year, labelled with its LR number and truck. A month reads like this:

Day

Loads on the calendar

1

LR - truck, LR - truck, LR - truck, + 4 more

2

Three loads, one still without a truck

3

Three loads, each with its truck

7, 14, 21, 28

One recurring load, the same truck every week

A truck that appears on Thursday is committed; one that does not is free. The dispatcher plans next week from the same screen the office books on.

What the dispatcher does

Plan on the calendar

Month, planner or year. Loads labelled by LR and truck; "+ N more" on busy days.

Assign truck and driver

On the booking: vehicle (own or market), driver, pickup and drop-off dates.

Watch the map

Live Tracking: active, stopped, offline, speed, last seen, for every truck.

Hear from the driver

"LR 1234 delivered" and the POD photo arrive in AI Inbox matched to the load; approve.

Hand to billing

The booking shows Pending Invoice until billing raises the invoice from it.

Hired trucks too

A market truck carries its owner as supplier; the booking holds his rate.

Bring next week's loads

A 30-minute demo where we put them on the calendar and the map. No credit card, no setup fee.

The booking list as a dispatch board

Cards or table, with LR number, vehicle, pickup and drop-off dates, started flag, driver, paying customer, container, supplier, invoice number, status and booking status. Filter by status to see what is unassigned, in transit or pending invoice. Export to Excel.

Drivers, without phone calls

  • The driver app shows assigned bookings with pickup, drop-off, vehicle and schedule
  • Drivers without the app send "delivered" and photos on WhatsApp
  • AI Inbox turns each into a status change or a POD for your approval
  • The driver gets a WhatsApp reply when it is received and approved

A dispatch day

  1. Open the calendar; see what is committed and what is free.
  2. Book or import the day's loads; assign trucks and drivers.
  3. Print LRs; drivers see assignments in the app.
  4. Watch the map; approve fuel slips and status updates as they come.
  5. Approve PODs at delivery; loads move to Pending Invoice for billing.
