Dispatch to delivery

Follow the approved assignment through departure, stop progress and delivery capture.

Step by step

  1. Check the departure handoff Dispatcher

    Dispatcher confirms the assignment is Assigned and the linked load is Approved. Review the selected driver and vehicle before recording the physical departure. If either record is inconsistent, resolve the discrepancy with the responsible owner.

    • Confirm approved work and assigned resources
    • Updates Loads, Load assignments
  2. Record departure Dispatcher

    Dispatcher follows the load into Executed and the assignment into Active, with the departure event tied to that load. Review the resulting records together so the next shift can distinguish actual departure from preparation.

    • Record executed load and active trip
    • Updates Loads, Load assignments, Tracking events
  3. Follow the stops Dispatcher

    Dispatcher records progress from Planned through En Route and Arrived to Completed. Keep Missed appointments and other exceptions visible. Tracking entries retain their occurrence time and source while the team checks whether a Reported event can be Confirmed.

    • Retain progress and exceptions
    • Updates Load stops, Tracking events
  4. Capture delivery Dispatcher

    Dispatcher records Captured delivery evidence against the correct load and stop, including recipient and signature reference. Record actual delivery and the completed assignment when the physical outcome supports them.

    • Record actual completion and captured evidence
    • Updates Proof of delivery, Loads, Load assignments, Load stops
  5. Review delivery evidence Evidence Reviewer

    Evidence Reviewer checks the Captured confirmation against the load and stop before marking it Verified or Disputed. Resolve an incorrect signature reference with Dispatcher while retaining the actual trip context.

    • Verify checked evidence or record a dispute
    • Updates Proof of delivery, Loads, Load stops

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A departure is recorded while the linked load remains in Review.
  • Only part of the departure handoff is completed, leaving conflicting statuses.
  • A delivery document names the correct customer but the wrong stop.
  • A disputed signature is treated as verified because the vehicle has returned.
