 The user can call up a color map of the area to be dispatched. The map shows icons representing all the orders that need to be dispatched.
In addition, the map shows all the available resources, (vehicles/drivers) - at their actual location.The operator can then "click" on the order to be dispatched, and Geo-Dispatch clearly displays
the driving route between the pickup and delivery points of that order. With another click, it also spells out all detail about the order (who is the client, what type of service, when
it was to be pick up, delivered, and special instructions - everything!).
The operator can then "click" on a likely vehicle/driver nearby.
The product then displays all the jobs this vehicle/driver holds, and a representation of the route between where it is, and all the locations that require visits. The operator can do this
as many times as needed to find a good candidate for the new job. Once done, simply "click" on the job again, "drag" it to the icon of the vehicle/driver chosen, and "drop" it there.
Geo-Dispatch will send out written instructions to the driver, including driving instructions on how to best handle this new load. The
software encrypts every icon with useful information. Different colors tell if an order is beginning to run late and if a "driver" is not
meeting his time objectives. ASCAR also shows different icons to represent the type of vehicle the "driver" has, and how many packages on board.
There is more. Because this is an adjunct to the already sophisticated ASCAR dispatching suite, it also reflects all the
prescreening done by the individual dispatcher profile definition. This allows, for example, to have a dispatcher deal only with orders in one section of the country, while another may handle a different section.
Of course, those ASCAR clients that use Master Dispatcher and Master Auditor, can continue to use those powerful tools. They
can use Geo-Dispatch as a visual confirmation of what Master Dispatcher is doing. This gives a complete view of the real status of the entire fleet, in a way that was never possible before.
By itself or together with Master Dispatcher and Master Auditor, Geo-Dispatch enables anyone to do an excellent dispatching job.
Dispatching just became simple, with Geo-Dispatch.
