Dispatching is part of the supply chain process that involves organizing transportation and assigning drivers. Anyone who has experience with dispatching knows that it involves many moving parts, countless details, and a small army of people to keep everything running smoothly. Without a streamlined system in place, you can get caught up in the never-ending cycle of reactive scheduling and spend too much time manually planning routes, tracking vehicles, and organizing driver’s appointments. If you’re still manually managing routes and schedules through phone calls and spreadsheets, GetSwift is here to show you that there’s a better way — and it’s called dispatch software.

Let our software offer you a much easier way to coordinate routes, drivers, and deliveries efficiently.
