Trimble launches Dispatch Advisor to optimize load matching for carriers

Trimble has launched Trimble Dispatch Advisor, which the company describes as an optimized dispatch solution that prescriptively suggests matches between loads, drivers and equipment.

Through Trimble Dispatch Advisor, carriers can identify and select the best loads to increase on-time delivery, reduce empty miles and improve driver utilization, Trimble says.

Trimble Dispatch Advisor reviews all available matches by utilizing a variety of variables, including location, driver hours of service data, time windows and more, such as the effects of selecting a specific load on future orders, Trimble says. The system then recommends a primary match, along with reasons for the recommendation. Additional matches are also suggested, including an estimated impact to the company should they choose any of the other options rather than the first or primary match.

Load planners have the final review and assignment of the match, providing the opportunity for human intervention.

“By pairing automated decision support with human intervention from the dispatcher, Trimble Dispatch Advisor provides strong guidance and efficiency with effective load optimization, all backed by a focus on and relationship with drivers,” said Chris Orban, vice president of data science for Trimble Transportation.

The solution is available as an add-on module within Trimble Innovative, TMW.Suite and TruckMate transportation management systems (TMS). It is integrated with the existing dispatch screen, eliminating the need to switch between tools or applications to access the solution.
