1. Organizes (automatically) the job data into easy, useable formats:
Color-coding
The Dispatch Board data is color-coded. The color tells the status of the job. Each line of job data on the Dispatch Board begins red, goes to green, and ends in white. Only certain jobs satisfy the requirements for blue. On any given day, you'll have each color represented on the Board. Color-coding gives you an action snapshot at a glance.
Color tells the job status:
Red |
|
Ready to be assigned |
Green |
|
Dispatched |
Blue |
|
Special Circumstances |
White |
|
Job Complete |
Stacking
The Dispatch Board stacks or sorts information which helps you see your current workload from different perspectives. Stack the information by:
|
• Job Status
• Driver
• Customer
• Priority
• Ticket
• Etc. |
|
Filters
Filters allow you to view specific information. You set the requirements.
For example:
- What's the status and activities for Driver, Bob, today?
- Where can I send my driver with an empty 20 yard container?
- What activity did a particular customer have today?
Color-coding, Stacking and Filters work together
to help you Dispatch more effectively!
