ORDERS
Structured Order Management
Define customer work as structured orders before it reaches dispatch. Capture routes, materials, quantities, timing windows, and shift preferences in one place. Support recurring and long-running work without re-entering data every day. Track order status and performance over time with clear lifecycle states. Keep planning clean and predictable before jobs are generated. DispatchFleet keeps this workflow connected across the platform.

CAPABILITIES
Inside Order Management
Define customer work as structured orders before it reaches dispatch. 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.
Orders list
Shows all orders in one place with high-signal fields. Supports fast filtering to find work that needs attention. Makes recurring work visible through next-run context. Keeps targets and actuals comparable for monitoring. Enables export for billing and reporting workflows.
- Filter by status, customer, route
- Target vs actual quantity visibility
- Next run and recurrence visibility
- Export orders list
Order creation
Captures the full definition of work before execution begins. Starts from customer selection to reduce inconsistencies. Supports draft mode for incomplete planning. Activates orders when ready to generate jobs. Keeps planning clean and consistent.
- Customer-first setup flow
- Save as Draft / Save and Activate
- Internal notes
Route configuration
Ensures routing stays explicit and consistent. Keeps site choices aligned to governed site records. Supports time windows to reflect operating constraints. Stores geolocation inputs for distance and feasibility calculations. Reduces dispatch errors caused by ambiguous routing.
- Pickup site selection
- Drop-off site selection
- Time windows
- Coordinates and site details links
Quantities & units
Keeps quantities consistent from planning to reporting. Uses units aligned with the material catalog. Supports large target ranges for long-running projects. Enables accurate progress tracking against a defined target. Reduces manual conversions and ambiguity.
- Target quantity definition
- Unit selection
- Material-aligned quantity logic
Shift preference
Aligns planned work to the intended operating period. Prevents jobs from landing in the wrong shift context. Supports flexible planning with “Any” when needed. Keeps downstream views consistent with shift rules. Reduces confusion during daily scheduling.
- Day / Night / Any preference
- Shift-aware job placement
- Shift preference visibility on orders
Recurrence rules
Makes recurring work explicit and stable. Supports common patterns without manual re-entry. Keeps next-run visible for planning. Feeds job generation logic without guesswork. Works for high-volume daily hauling.
- Daily / weekly recurrence
- Custom cycles
- Next run calculation
Order status lifecycle
Keeps the lifecycle of work explicit. Prevents accidental job creation from draft orders. Supports real-world changes with hold and cancel states. Preserves history through archiving instead of deletion. Makes operational status readable across planning views.
- Draft vs active state
- Hold / complete / cancel / archive actions
- Status visibility in list
