Planning

The whole day planned. No sticky notes.

Drag orders straight onto a driver, route or vehicle in a live calendar - with capacity in view, warnings before you make a mistake and an undo button when you need it.

See how

Dispatchers deserve better tools

Planning happens under pressure, with changes all day. So the tool has to show the truth live - and cope when you change your mind.

Everything in one view

Order list, resource calendar, vehicle calendar and map - same workspace, same real-time data.

Warned before it goes wrong

The system flags absence, shift conflicts, overtime and driving time limits before you assign - not afterwards.

Safe to change

Undo planning moves, and plans lock automatically once the driver has started the job.

The calendar

Resource and vehicle calendar

A timeline per driver and vehicle - hour by hour.

A calendar with day, week and month views per resource. Drag jobs between drivers, change the duration by dragging the edge, and follow route progress live - the calendar updates itself through the day.

  • Timeline view per driver and vehicle
  • Drag between resources, change duration by dragging
  • Live progress with automatic updates
  • Undo button for planning moves

From order list to plan

Drag, drop - and several at once

Multi-select orders straight onto a driver or route.

Select several orders and drag them onto a resource together. Custom order tabs can be saved, sorted and shared with other dispatchers, and colour coding with colour memory keeps the order list readable from a distance.

  • Multi-select drag of several orders
  • Shareable order tabs per dispatcher
  • Colour coding of orders
  • Planning calendar inside the order as well
Guards and warnings

The system speaks up before you slip

Absence, shifts, overtime and driving time - checked at assignment.

Before an order is assigned, the system checks approved absence, the shift plan, daily overtime and weekly working time limits - including what the new order will do to the total. Plans lock once the driver is under way, so nobody moves a job that has already started.

  • Assignment warnings with projected impact
  • Remaining driving time live per driver
  • Planning locked once the job has started
  • Absence status right in dispatch

Time slots and terminal

Delivery windows and terminal flow

Book time slots - and see what passes through the terminal.

The time slot module controls delivery windows that the optimiser respects, and the terminal view follows goods through the terminal with throughput measured in items, weight, volume, pallets and loading metres.

  • Bookable time slots per location
  • Overlapping windows merged automatically
  • Terminal view inside dispatch
  • Throughput report per terminal

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what transport companies most often ask about planning in FleetX.

How do I plan jobs in FleetX?

You drag orders straight from the order list onto a driver, route or vehicle in a live calendar with day, week and month views. Several orders can be selected and assigned together.

Can the system warn me before I plan something wrong?

Yes. Before assignment it checks approved absence, the shift plan, daily overtime, weekly working time limits and remaining driving time - with the projected impact of the new order.

Is there a separate calendar for vehicles?

Yes, the vehicle calendar shows the fleet's bookings and availability alongside the driver calendar - including bookings from the rental module.

What happens if the driver has already started a job?

Planning for that job locks automatically, so nobody moves a job in progress by accident. Changes require the job not to be under way.

Can several dispatchers work in the same view?

Yes. Custom order tabs can be saved and shared between dispatchers and staff groups, the calendar updates live, and colour coding keeps the order list readable for everyone.

Does FleetX support delivery time slots?

Yes. The time slot module controls bookable delivery windows per location, and the route optimiser respects those windows in its calculation.

Can I undo planning changes?

Yes, the calendar has an undo function for planning moves, so you can safely try things out.
