We are proud to introduce Geo-Dispatch. We believe that this tool makes the dispatching function an ordinary task, that no longer requires extraordinary people.
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 It also shows all the available resources, (vehicles/drivers). All at their actual location.
The operator can then "click" on the order to be dispatched, and the product 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. That is all that is needed. ASCAR does the rest. It will send out written instructions to the driver,
including driving instructions on how to best handle this new load.
ASCAR also 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. We would love to show it to you. Just give us a call.
