Delivery Scheduling Software | Automated Self-Scheduling

You Define Capacity

You can define capacity by zip code or by zone and include calculations for service time on deliveries that require it.

B2B Customers Benefit

Self-scheduling is not just for consumer goods, but also for critical business deliveries such as building supplies, agricultural products, medical supplies, food and other items that must be received by an authorized agent.

Earlier Windows

DispatchTrack dynamically matches your capacity to customer availability, resulting in earlier delivery windows. Merchandise waiting in your warehouse is unrealized revenue; the sooner you can deliver, the sooner you collect your fee.

DispatchTrack is the only major last mile solution that offers fully automated self-scheduling. Giving customers access to your shipping scheduling software is not only more satisfying to them, but also results in fewer customers-not-at-home. If they pick the delivery time, they’re more likely to be there, and DispatchTrack’s combination of automated scheduling and automated communications follow up minimizes costly re-deliveries and the chance that merchandise may be damaged when returned to the warehouse.

Reduce Scheduling Costs

On average, it takes an agent 2.5 phone calls and five minutes to reach a customer to schedule a delivery. If you’re running 10 trucks, that could easily take 500 minutes — over nine hours — a day. And while scaling up deliveries incrementally using human operators is problematic, DispatchTrack can schedule an additional 10 deliveries, or 50 or 100, with no additional scheduling manpower.

Better Customer Experience

The DispatchTrack scheduling portal is available 24/7, so customers can schedule when it’s convenient for them — even after hours when they can check with family members. Picking their delivery time gives customers some control and is more satisfying. And they’re less likely to miss the appointment.

Level Loads, Optimum Routes

DispatchTrack knows the capacity you have, where and at what times, so it can dynamically allocate your resources. It offers customers windows that make sure your trucks are level loaded and their routes are optimized. Your can reduce costs while also raising customer satisfaction.

Branded Portal

Customers are directed to an online portal to choose a delivery window. They fill in a brief pre-delivery questionnaire to discover whether extra time, crew or equipment will be needed. That information is fed to the DispatchTrack engine for processing. The portal and scheduling communications can carry your branding or that of your client throughout.

Capacity Aware

Finding a window that works for your customer and for you requires matching your capacity to their availability. You can define your available capacity by zone or by zip code and can specify:

Truck volume
Number of stops
Service time

Decrease Waste Through Enhanced Visibility and Emissions Tracking

Calculated Delivery Options

DispatchTrack compares the customer’s delivery requirements with your capacity and presents many delivery options to the customer. The customer gains some control over the timing while your trucks are level loaded, optimizing the number of trucks and crew needed to fulfill your deliveries.

Continuous Communication

DispatchTrack enables communications with the customer and the client through voice, text and email. DispatchTrack automatically confirms the delivery window with customers before routing their delivery; it sends a confirmation when the driver leaves the warehouse; and it sends another when the driver is one stop away.
