Business function

Business goal
Improve decision quality, Respond faster
Solution category
Planning and optimisation, Assistants and knowledge
The opportunity
Dispatch teams respond to changing workloads, traffic and customer commitments. Voice conversations can leave decisions scattered unless the proposed change is checked against operational constraints and entered into the plan.
How it works
- 01
Capture the dispatch request and current vehicle and driver context.
- 02
Compare feasible routes or allocations against the agreed operating constraints.
- 03
Present the options and their trade-offs for dispatcher acceptance.
- 04
Communicate the accepted plan and confirm updates in dispatch records.
What it needs
- Jobs and delivery windows
- Driver and vehicle availability
- Route and operating constraints
What it produces
- Feasible dispatch options
- Accepted route or allocation
- Communication and confirmation record
Where people decide
The dispatcher accepts changes; drivers and operational teams confirm feasibility and receipt through established procedures.
Example application
A transport team evaluates a late collection request against existing commitments before approving and communicating a revised driver assignment.
What to measure
Evaluation measures to agree before release, not achieved results.
- Time to assess dispatch changes
- Accepted plans requiring rework
