Activant Dispatch & Delivery System™
You've said it yourself, "The grease board has got to go." You recognize the warning signs of a chaotic dispatch and delivery system; employees pulled in many directions where they can't focus on filling trucks and delivering products; owners looking for delivery statistics that don't exist; and customers switching vendors because you couldn't deliver products on time.
Turn to the Activant Dispatch and Deliver System (DDS), designed to assist the dispatcher with daily deliveries, compliment your hot-shot delivery programs, provide accurate management reports and ensure on-time deliveries.
An Electronic Dispatcher's Assistant
With DDS, you'll eliminate manual systems that require continuous human updating to remain accurate. The DDS application integrates with your Activant system and displays real-time order status in a column format and is as simple to run as a spreadsheet.
Sales staff can send new orders, or last minute change orders, from point-of-sale to the dispatcher, reducing costly errors. As you scan bar codes for each order, the system moves the order status sequentially through the dispatch and delivery process. No typing skills required! Anyone on the network can check the status of any order, any time. This feature alone minimizes interruptions and reduces calls to the dispatcher.
