Driver assignment/ Dispatching is in fact the core module that sums up all the work defined behind the scenes, which culminates in the timely delivery of the dispatch at the desired destination. Car transport dispatch software, during its operation, accesses other co-modules for information and hence has been designed with such a level of operational flexibility in mind. Along these lines, it is coded and tested, and is dynamic enough so as to offer an error free performance on its own and of the system as a whole.
Auto transportation dispatch software offers a number of tools to assist one in scheduling and dispatching work orders. Its operations can be summed up as follows – the user creates a load, a dispatch record and then groups load into one dispatch. He can then assign a driver to the load; the software automatically calculates the truck revenue and the driver commission, as per the driver commission percent setup in the driver setup module. The dispatching software provides driver assignment report and driver commission reports for tracking and payroll purposes.
Split Dispatch section of the software comes into play if there is more than one driver involved in delivering a car. The user can vary the truck revenue and driver commission manually. The software also offers the flexibility to create as many legs as one wish.
Dispatch Report snippet lists all open driver assignments with detailed car and load information. It also provides options for editing car information as well as printing delivery report.
Trace Car option facilitates the company to trace a car by its ID# (computer generated number), load#, VIN#, driver assignment#, and customer reference number. The software performs the search according to the keyword given and it gathers all the details of the vehicle based on the provided keyword and display it on the screen.
Dispatch software for car transporters is also open to customization and future plug-ins so that it serves the company in a longer term.
