Dispatching Jobs functionality include:

Dispatching Jobs

• Using the web application, jobs can be dispatched to drivers efficiently.
• In the leg section, users can edit leg details, such as leg date, estimated start and finish times, pickup and drop-off addresses.
• Dispatch notes can be added to provide specific instructions to the driver, which are visible on the driver’s mobile app.
• Drivers and vehicles can be assigned to the leg.
• The leg status automatically updates when assigning a driver and when the driver starts and completes the job.
• Once a driver is assigned, a mobile app notification can be sent to notify the driver about the job assignment.

Offsiders

• Multiple offsiders can be assigned to each job leg, but only one driver can be assigned.
• Offsiders receive mobile app notifications with job details but cannot accept or complete the job like the driver.
