Give dispatch and transport planners a live planning view across lanes, capacity, constraints and performance so daily routing decisions happen with trusted TMS data instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Who this is for
Carriers and 3PL transport teams managing daily dispatch and lane planning
Operations leaders tracking utilization, dwell and on-time performance by lane
Planners coordinating multi-stop routes with capacity and customer constraints
Organizations outgrowing native TMS reporting for planning workflows
What this solves
- 01
Planning data scattered across TMS, telematics and manual trackers
- 02
Limited visibility into capacity, dwell and delay drivers by lane
- 03
Slow reaction to same-day constraint changes
- 04
Inconsistent KPI definitions between dispatch and leadership
What we can build first
Daily load board with lane, customer and equipment filters
Capacity and utilization views by region, depot or fleet segment
Delay, dwell and on-time exception panels with SLA context
Route and stop sequence summaries linked to shipment records
Planning KPI rollups for shift huddles and leadership reviews
Export and snapshot views for handoffs between planning shifts
Next step
Map your workflow before you choose the architecture.
If this service area matches a manual workflow in your operation, the best next step is to document users, systems, data ownership and rollout constraints. Then design the product layer around that.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this a replacement for our TMS dispatch board?
No. Planning dashboards complement TMS with planner-oriented KPIs, exception prioritization and roll-ups leadership needs, with with drill-down back to TMS records.
How fresh does TMS data need to be?
Most planning views target near-real-time milestone updates. Discovery defines acceptable latency per source and surfaces stale data clearly in the UI.
Can telematics data feed the same dashboard?
Yes. Combining TMS assignments with telematics ETAs and utilization improves delay detection and capacity views when integrations are reliable.
Do you support subcontractor and asset-light models?
Yes. Planning views can include partner-assigned freight when TMS and status feeds identify carrier responsibility and milestone ownership.
Best next step
If this workflow is already creating manual work, poor visibility or repeated communication inside your logistics operation, the best next step is to map the process, systems and users before choosing the software architecture.
