Dispatch
Dispatch is what you get paid to do. It’s the heart of your business. Your software needs to be as good as you are. Profit Tools goes one step further, and actually makes you better.
Quick Assignments, Quick Changes
From your Profit Tools load board, you can make and change assignments by drag-and-drop. No need to open a bunch of screens, remember cryptic hotkeys, or do a bunch of typing. Profit Tools moves at the real pace of dispatch — fast!
Complete Routing Control
Some systems only let you look at shipments, or only let you have one open assignment per truck. Profit Tools lets you work with a comprehensive pre-plan and history for every driver and piece of equipment. We call this the “itinerary”, and it can have as many shipments and stops planned as you want. You can also bring it up for any driver, truck, or piece of equipment you’ve ever dispatched, for any day or date range in your history.
Don’t Drop the Ball!
Dropped equipment control is a major shortcoming of many systems. Profit Tools was designed from day one to be the best at this. You’ll know which equipment is dropped, for how long, and who brought it there (both the driver and who dispatched it at the office.) This applies to trailers, flatbeds, containers, and chassis, whether they’re owned, rented, or provided with the load. When it comes to equipment, you you’ve got questions — and Profit Tools gives you the answers!

Dropped Container Screen - Without leaving your dispatch board you can quickly see where all your containers are currently dropped. This includes not only containers at customer locations, but also the containers in your yard(s)!
The Right Move
Making the best assignment, taking into account all relevant deadlines, who’s closest, what you have coming back, and driver hours available, all becomes a lot easier in Profit Tools. Plus, the system can instantly cross check every assignment with driver file expirations (like license & medical) and endorsements (like hazmat) so you don’t get yourself in a jam.
