Why use automation versus radios? 

 

Some added benefits to automation are:

1.  Improve communication between dispatchers and drivers (team collaboration)

2.  History for drivers, dispatchers, and company (allows easy lookup for repeat usage)

3.  Cuts down the calls to dispatchers

4.  Costly radios can now be cancelled

5.  Drivers have the ability to accept or reject assigned jobs

6.  Dispatchers are given distance to pickup from drivers for easy dispatching to closest driver

7.  Download data for reporting or to use to determine back tracking performance

8.  Visual presentation for locations of drivers can be seen on map for dispatching usage

9.  Easy rescheduling of rides

10.  Can easily cancel rides no longer needed

11.  Driver application can be easily downloaded on Google Apps Store
