Smarter Dispatching for a Competitive Edge
There’s more to dispatch services than just scheduling and confirming trips with the carrier. Modern dispatch solutions deliver collaboration in real time between shippers, drivers, and brokers to ensure routes are loaded and delivered efficiently. Dispatcher solutions provide an all-in-one logistics solution, from load assignment to compliance reporting and paperwork processes to allow carriers and owner operators to focus on driving and delivering.
The Rise of Technology in Trucking Operations
In the last century, dispatch has changed fundamentally. Cloud-based dispatch solutions, GPS tracking, and mobile apps enable dispatchers to view loads and drivers from anywhere – in real time. Automation systems can collect data and make recommendations to align loads with the best driver, optimize routes and even predict maintenance in the future – all things that don’t need to be done manually. For a dispatch company to thrive over the long-term, they need to minimize delays, cut fuel costs and maintain good customer service.
Benefits That Go Beyond the Road
Outsourcing dispatch services or investment in advanced dispatch software will not only increase production costs but also give your small and mid-sized carriers a competitive edge over their larger fleet counterparts with deeper analytics and professional support. Real-time information changes help avoid lost revenue opportunities and automated invoicing and document management will help keep your company organized and compliant. These time-saving features translate into increased productivity and peace of mind.
Choosing the Right Dispatch Solution
The right dispatch service or technology platform comes down to what your hauling business model is and what you need to accomplish. Whether you are an owner-operator who’s looking for back office support, or a fleet manager looking for full service dispatch and tracking there’s a solution for you. When it comes to choosing the right provider or platform find providers or platforms that offer transparent pricing, 24/7 support, and integration with your current systems. Taking the right step will help you get more done, add more loads, and prepare for the future.
