Driver and vehicle allocation

Driver and vehicle allocation software for dispatch teams.

See which vehicles are available for a schedule, pick a driver and assign both in a click. DutyGo notifies the driver and guest by SMS or email, and shows which vehicles have GPS linked.

Dispatch

Know what is free before you assign it.

Allocation goes wrong when the dispatcher cannot see availability and has to ask around. DutyGo lists the vehicles available for the trip's schedule, so the choice is made from the system, not from memory.

  • Available vehicles are listed for the trip's schedule.
  • Each vehicle shows its type, vehicle group and whether GPS is linked.
  • The driver and guest are notified in the same step.

Allocation follows trip booking and leads into live tracking and driver trip updates.
