The business situation
Where this fits
When a truck breaks down, the dispatcher has to consider delivery commitments, available vehicles, driver limits and the knock-on effect on other jobs. A fast answer only helps if the plan can be inspected and challenged.
For transport teams that repeatedly rebuild a plan when vehicles, people or delivery conditions change.
- A breakdown creates several dependent dispatch decisions.
- Availability and driver checks take time to gather.
- Recovery choices are difficult to explain to the wider team.
The solution
How the solution helps
The dispatch workspace brings the disruption and available resources together. Rule checks assess candidate actions while an AI assistant helps assemble a recovery proposal. The dispatcher can inspect the proposal, challenge its assumptions and decide which changes to accept.
Understand the affected work
See the disrupted vehicle, loads and delivery commitments.
Check recovery options
Assess candidate resources and routes against the selected operating rules.
Review the revised plan
Inspect the proposed actions before approving the next dispatch step.
In practice
Replan a delivery after a breakdown
Follow a sample vehicle disruption through dispatcher review.
The affected loads, fleet and driver availability, delivery windows and operating rules.
Identify the impact
Review the jobs and commitments affected by the breakdown.
OutputA bounded recovery problem.
Build a candidate response
Consider substitute resources and check the proposed changes against operating constraints.
OutputA reviewable recovery option.
Accept or revise the plan
The dispatcher examines the actions and adjusts the proposal where necessary.
OutputA plan ready for the approved dispatch process.
How it works
How the workflow comes together
Operational context
Keep vehicles, drivers, loads and disruptions in a shared planning view.
Rules and assistance
Combine explicit rule checks with an AI-assisted recovery proposal.
Dispatcher review
Present the actions and assumptions together so the decision stays inspectable.

Customer value
What this means for your team
A practical plan to review
Dispatchers can see the disruption, the resources considered and the proposed response in the same workspace.
Less fragmented replanning
Help operations teams gather context faster, compare alternatives consistently and communicate the reason for the revised plan.
Review and control
Keep people in control
- Keep driver, vehicle and operating-rule inputs current.
- Make failed checks and planning assumptions visible to the dispatcher.
- Require approval before changes reach transport operations.
Get started
Start with your use case
Start with one common event, such as a vehicle breakdown, and review the proposed plans with experienced dispatchers.
Useful starting information
