MATERIAL SETTINGS
Movement-based Material Settings
Define the rules that govern how materials are measured and converted. Set default units and density values at the category level. Normalize quantity calculations across the system. Support bulk catalog management through CSV import and export. Keep measurement logic predictable and audit-safe. DispatchFleet keeps this workflow connected across the platform.
CAPABILITIES
Inside Material Settings
Define the rules that govern how materials are measured and converted. These capabilities show how DispatchFleet supports day-to-day execution in this area. They capture the decisions dispatchers and field teams make every shift. They also define the guardrails that keep data consistent when plans change. Scan the list below to understand the major functions at a glance. Next, the Features section breaks each capability into concrete actions, screens, and reusable building blocks.
Material categories
Standardizes material categories so downstream planning, dispatch, and reporting use consistent definitions. Applies defaults and rules to reduce configuration drift. Supports controlled changes with clear traceability.
- Category definitions
- Consistent grouping
- Used across UI filters
Material subcategories
Standardizes material subcategories so downstream planning, dispatch, and reporting use consistent definitions. Applies defaults and rules to reduce configuration drift. Supports controlled changes with clear traceability.
- Subcategory definitions
- Better reporting breakdowns
- Catalog consistency
Default units per category
Standardizes default units per category so downstream planning, dispatch, and reporting use consistent definitions. Applies defaults and rules to reduce configuration drift. Supports controlled changes with clear traceability.
- Default units per material
- Conversion support
- Consistent reporting
Density and conversion rules
Standardizes density and conversion rules so downstream planning, dispatch, and reporting use consistent definitions. Applies defaults and rules to reduce configuration drift. Supports controlled changes with clear traceability.
- Density values
- Unit conversions
- Explainable quantities
Catalog import and export
Enables catalog import and export in standardized formats so downstream workflows don’t require manual copy/paste. Helps with billing, compliance, and audits by using finalized records. Keeps exports consistent with the system of record.
