Effectively managing a fast-paced delivery operation requires real-time connectivity with the field personnel executing the plans. Customers want tighter delivery commitments, and to meet market demand, dispatchers need to maintain tight control over what is happening on the road
Roadshow DispatchTM is a desktop solution that provides fully integrated wireless communication between dispatch and drivers. In addition to passive 1-way monitoring, 2-way devices can be used to capture events such as arrivals and deliveries. Dispatchers can monitor and re-deploy drivers and transportation assets in real-time for same-day pick-ups and deliveries using this same technology.
Dispatch is a cost-effective means of extending RoadShow Route Planner TM with wireless communications as part of Descartes' fleet management and routing offering.
