Dispatch automation in the trucking and commercial fleet industry refers to the use of modern technology in scheduling and managing the dispatches of vehicles. This gives an organization the leverage to use algorithms and software to automate the process of distribution of resources such as vehicles and drivers to deliver goods on time and in an organized manner while reducing the workload for humans who could make mistakes in manual work.
TruckX’s dispatch automation solution provides near real-time insights and analytics that enable you to manage and control your fleet from a single console. The system connects via Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), GPS tracking, and other telematic tools to provide full-fledged visibility of your fleet, while keeping you and your team compliant with compliance, HOS regulations and fleet safety.
One of the major advantages of automation is route optimization. The software uses the flow of traffic, type of road, and delivery schedules to decide the most efficient route for a delivery every time. It eliminates idleness and also reduces vehicle wear and tear while traveling on a short-term basis as it saves the maximum amount of fuel, all this while reducing your running costs on the delivery route. Alongside, automated dispatch systems can see changes in the field in real-time, such as last-minute reception changes, changes in order quantity, or any other form of unexpected delays, and adapt to them. All this makes the fleet operations, cost-effective and easy to handle.
