By using TruckX dispatcher software, fleet managers can better oversee the dispatching of vehicles and drivers to their destinations to maximize efficiency and productivity in fleet operations. Dispatch center software houses key information relating to a specific fleet – such as pre-programmed routes and lists of personnel – and acts as the central hub for all related operations: including vehicle assignment, route planning, and real-time fleet-tracking and communications.

Real-time tracking is one of the most basic capabilities of a dispatch center – it is a must if the fleet manager wants to provide accurate ETA estimates to customers or intervene to fix a problem or delay. Automated scheduling and routing (with optimization) are other critical component, neither of which is possible without sophisticated software. The computer program tackles a seemingly simple task (vehicle scheduling and routing for a fleet) and automates a process that would otherwise require staff to plan and assign jobs manually. Most importantly, automated scheduling optimizes routes, reduces fuel consumption, and minimizes travel time. The software uses traffic patterns, the timing of deliveries, and other data to suggest the best route.

In the case of TruckX’s dispatch center software that integrates with Electronic Logging Device (ELD) systems as well as other fleet management tools, it means enabling compliance management, vehicle maintenance tracking, and driver-performance analysis, allowing fleet managers to make more data-driven decisions that will optimize operational efficiencies and lower costs.
