What last-mile dispatch means

Daily delivery work is allocated to routes, drivers, and vehicles. Dispatchers release reviewed work to drivers and monitor progress. Exceptions such as failed deliveries, late starts, route changes, and device issues need a clear operating path.

Monitoring active deliveries

Status updates show route progress. Live location can support visibility when mobile location streaming is enabled. Mission progress, failed states, completed states, and proofed statuses should stay connected to the route history.

How Rouptimize supports dispatch
