Purpose
1.2. Automator retrieves live road information to minimize delivery time and fuel consumption, maximizing fleet efficiency.
1.3. Supports automated notifications to drivers, route re-assignments during unexpected delays, and integrates with corporate dispatching systems.
1.4. Automation supports scalable, repeatable, and error-free dispatching for high-volume, general delivery operations.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. Dispatcher manually requests route recalculation.
2.3. Live traffic event or road closure alert detected by connected data providers.
2.4. Scheduled automated routines for daily/shift-based route optimization.
