Accurate Move Planning & Driver Notification
There's a lot riding on how efficiently a heavy construction company
moves its heavy equipment.
A single, centralized schedule provides obvious advantages over trying to
piece together information from whiteboards, spreadsheets, phone calls
and electronic messages that are frequently out of date or incomplete.
Armed with real-time information on where equipment is, where it will be
needed and its repair status, schedulers and dispatchers can weigh all
their options and deploy those assets in a way that supports project
performance objectives in the field and optimizes the efficiency of their
transport crews.
The big challenge for transport crews using offline solutions is keeping
up with the latest changes. A daily plan for pickups and drop-offs will
almost always be revised – sometimes multiple times – during the day.
When those changes come at the drivers by unstructured phone calls or
electronic messages, it's easy to make mistakes – and mistakes like going
to the wrong location or moving the wrong piece of equipment can be
extremely expensive.
A specialized scheduling solution
can alert drivers by e-mail or text
messages generated automatically
within the software when changes
are made. The standardized
process and clear documentation
eliminate errors and ambiguity.
