Dispatch Software for Trucking

 There are many TMS Dispatch systems out there that say they are the best trucking dispatch software.  However, are they really? Oftentimes, when we are contacted for a demo of our dispatch system, we are told that the potential client has already been through several systems and is unhappy for several different reasons. Maybe they encountered surprise costs.  Alternatively, poor support.  And, what we hear the most, is it just doesn’t do what they need.

And, what are you looking for?  Easy? Affordable? Efficient? A dispatch program that fits your business needs?

What does a Fleet dispatch software program need to offer, to be the best?

• Multi-company setup, for example: Logistics and Brokerage loads can be created in one dispatch but billed to two separate accounting companies. Or you can purchase two separate dispatch programs, one for logistics and one for brokerage
• Billing, which includes custom invoices and options to break out revenue based on load criteria
• Settlements (pay drivers, owner operators, carriers, agents, salesmen, and trailer leasing).
• Assessorial charges, including Fuel Surcharge rating table, by the effective date. Assessorial charges can even be automated by customers or with auto-rating.
• Security with user logins and options to restrict access for users or groups of users to specific parts of the program.
• Logging User and group events in log files.
• We interface with many 3rd party integration choices. For example for accounting, you may want to post to QuickBooks.  Our next customer may want to post to Microsoft Dynamics.  Or, perhaps you want our dispatch to calculate loaded and empty miles, via PcMiler.  Maybe our next customer prefers Rand McNally. Or Google Miles. The same with ELDs and Fuel Cards.  We more than likely already have an interface with them.  If not, we are usually able to write one.**
• ** If we do not currently have an interface to a 3rd party program, we check to see if they offer an API. Alternatively, import/export options.  If it is something we feel all future customers may benefit from, we will write the interface.  If not, or if it appears to be quite involved, we will give you a custom programming quote and let you decide if you need it.

With every new sale, great suggestions or requests for changes in the dispatch program not only enhanced Dispatch, but made it a good fit for each client.
