Smart Dispatch That Saves Hours Every Day

Stop guessing which driver to send. Waybill analyses availability, proximity, vehicle suitability, and time windows to recommend the optimal assignment for every job.

AI-Powered Smart Assign

When a job comes in, Smart Assign instantly evaluates every available driver-vehicle combination and ranks them by suitability. Factors include:

  • Proximity — How close is the driver to the pickup location? GPS, depot address, or home address are all considered.
  • Time windows — Can the driver reach the pickup within the requested time? Estimated arrival times are calculated automatically.
  • Vehicle capacity — Does the vehicle have enough seats and cargo space for the passengers and any equipment?
  • Driver hours — Is the driver within their maximum allowed hours for the day?
  • Vehicle type — Does the vehicle match the job requirements (wheelchair accessible, stretcher-capable, etc.)?

One-Click Auto Assign

Don't want to review options? Auto Assign picks the top-ranked driver-vehicle pair and assigns them instantly. The driver receives a notification, the job status updates, and the dispatcher moves on to the next task.

Perfect for high-volume operations where speed matters more than manual selection.

Example workflow: A new job comes in at 8:15 AM for a 9:00 AM pickup. The dispatcher clicks "Auto Assign" — the closest available driver with a suitable vehicle is assigned in under a second. The driver's app shows the new job with navigation directions.

Smart Dispatch FAQs

Smart dispatch software recommends the best driver-vehicle pair for each job automatically, ranking every option by proximity, availability, vehicle suitability, and time windows. Instead of manually deciding who to send, dispatchers get an intelligent recommendation and can one-click auto-assign.

Smart dispatch (smart assign) optimises one job at a time — ideal for ad-hoc jobs that come in during the day. Fleet optimisation takes every pending job at once and finds the best plan across the whole fleet. Waybill includes both, sharing the same underlying intelligence.

Yes. By ranking driver-vehicle options and auto-assigning with one click, smart dispatch cuts the manual decision time on every job — turning hours of daily planning into minutes, and reducing the errors that come from assigning jobs by memory.
