Dispatch

Breathe new life into dispatch - eliminate empty miles

DispatchOptimizer provides decision support for assigning job orders in conjunction with DispatchManager. The originator sees an up-to-the-minute list of drayage job orders and street-turn opportunities with the ability to sort potential matches with trip-specific criteria such as distance, time, equipment, and other carrier filters. A view of all available possibilities, aided by visual mapping and saved dollar and miles calculations, means a dispatcher can quickly combine disparate jobs and assign a win-win job order without leaving the IAS Dispatch screen. Automated equipment approval, authorization, and status updates eliminate manual processing and keep all parties in sync. With a transaction-based fee structure, 24x7x365 support, and the largest intermodal network, IAS assumes the deployment risk and does all of the heavy lifting.
