How Does Syntelic’s Dispatch Planning Software Work?

Syntelic Dispatch Planning is ideal for fleets with static routes and only moderate fluctuations each week in the number of stops and other variables.

With our dispatch planner, creating packages for your weekly delivery routes is simple:

  1. Setup. Set up the rules that govern your driver route assignments—things like the minimum number of hours between routes, targeted weekly driver pay, and maximum work hours per week.
  2. Import and build. Import the routes for the week and run the package builder. Our algorithm cycles through millions of combinations and returns optimized packages for your routes and rules.
  3. Review and tweak. Review the package dashboard, make any necessary adjustments, and assign packages to your drivers.

Driver Dispatch Software Features

Customizable Rules

Set rules that work for your transportation operations. Parameters include:

-Cycle start and end days

-Hours (e.g., duration of target mid-week rest)

-Miles (e.g., maximum route length)

-Driver pay (e.g., mileage rate, rate per stop, and even different rates based on seniority)

-Driver combinations (e.g., solo, teams, and layovers)

-Dispatch locations

Built-In DOT Compliance

The Dispatch Planning application automatically follows US Department of Transportation (DOT) hours of service (HoS) regulations. You can rest assured that the driver route packages will comply with daily and weekly hours limits and mandatory breaks.

Optimization Tools

You can set the package builder to balance driver route assignments so that weekly hours, miles, and driver pay are within specified ranges.

Package Dashboard

On the package dashboard, you can view and sort by dispatch location, trailer type, start and end days and times, projected pay, distance, stops, cases, gap time between routes, driver combinations, and more. You can make manual adjustments if you need to tweak the packages.

Benefits of Dispatch Software for Route Management

Modern trucking operations are complex, and good planning applications—whether they’re for routes, loads, or driver schedules—can bring significant rewards in terms of cost savings, on-time performance, customer ratings, profitability, and driver satisfaction.

Save Time

With Dispatch Planning, you can generate route packages in minutes. This not only eliminates a tedious manual task, but it also allows a skilled employee to focus on other work.

Keep Improving

If you’re still doing dispatch planning manually, there’s no way to optimize packages—it’s simply impossible to consider the millions of possibilities our Dispatch Planning algorithm cranks through. But with continuous optimization, you can keep streamlining your operations, achieving greater efficiency.

Keep Drivers Happy

A dispatch system that turns out packages with consistent hours, pay, and days off goes a long way toward keeping drivers satisfied.

Avoid HoS Violations

DOT hours of service compliance doesn’t have to be a dispatch planner’s nightmare. Our software automatically creates driver assignments that conform to HoS regulations.

Comprehensive Transportation Management Software

Syntelic’s Dispatch Planning application is a powerful tool. But when you combine it with our Route Planning, Load Planning, and Transportation Analytics software, you have a comprehensive transportation management system (TMS) for your trucking company.
