The dispatcher creates a delivery plan based on the list of orders. The plan is visualized on a timeline for each of the vehicles. The route and the vehicle’s current position are displayed on the map.
Driver’s app
Each delivery route is arranged in an order of scheduled delivery stops. The application navigates the driver to the next delivery stop. The driver reports a finished task, so that the dispatcher can see the current status of the order.
Automation of route planning- dispatcher’s app
GeoTraxx allows to quickly work out a transport plan based on maps and navigation data from Google. GeoTraxx algorithms make the delivery plan realistic, accurate, and effective. Vehicle type, its maximum capacity, size of a truck’s pallet space, driver’s working hours and traffic based on Google Maps data are some of the parameters considered in route planning.
Route planning
The dispatcher receives the finished delivery plan in a short time. It’s possible to visualize the expected arrival and unloading times. Such delivery plan can be modified manually and personalized.
