About AI Automated Dispatch Assistant LOG
AI Automated Dispatch Assistant LOG is a system that uses AI to automate the vehicle dispatch management and delivery planning that transportation companies perform on a daily basis. The system can generate optimal output on vehicle dispatch plans that takes into account complex constraints such as driver attendance, delivery time, and vehicle classification in a matter of tens of seconds to a few minutes. Furthermore, the system is equipped with an algorithm that matches nearby vehicles to delivery destinations, making it possible to create complex vehicle dispatch plans that span multiple locations in one batch. With these functions, AI is utilized to improve profitability by optimizing vehicle dispatch and standardizing the tasks of creating vehicle dispatches.
