Real-time digital dispatch & tour planning
Every tour, vehicle, driver and trailer on one graphical timeline – with live team assignment, drag & drop, automatic conflict checking and direct telematics hand-off. CargoWiz puts dispatchers at freight forwarders and transport companies in sync, in real time.
The timeline that makes your dispatch visible
No more lists and whiteboards: the graphical timeline view shows every tour as a bar – with its own lane per truck, carrier and driver. Zoom into a single day or page through the week, and full-text search finds any tour, customer or reference number in seconds. Trips that still need planning wait in their own lane until you schedule them.
Replan with a flick of the wrist
Drag a tour bar onto another truck or driver – reassigned in seconds. Merging two tours? Simply drop one onto the other, or select several and merge them. And when the vehicle or driver changes en route, split the tour with a handover stop – without re-entering the order.
Dispatch board grouped by tours – with inline editing that reaches every colleague live.
One tour. All resources. One plan.
Bundle several orders into one tour that carries a truck or carrier, trailer, swap bodies and a two-driver crew together – including start and arrival times and clear driver instructions. If an order spans several tours, CargoWiz keeps every waypoint in view, so you can split and hand over tours even mid-journey.
Every kilometre counts: the distance driven per tour and leg is calculated automatically – kilometres driven by your carriers are attributed to the right tour, too.
Dispatching between a whiteboard, the phone and Excel
At many small and mid-sized freight forwarders and transport companies dispatching still runs on a whiteboard, an Excel sheet and the phone. Who's driving which truck, where the trailers are parked, which driver still has driving time left – usually only one dispatcher carries it all in their head. When they're off sick, the knowledge goes with them. Double bookings, missed maintenance, a driver without an ADR licence on a hazardous tour – every mistake costs time and money. As soon as the team grows and several dispatchers plan in parallel the chaos becomes perfect: nobody knows who is touching which tour, changes get overwritten and customers get called twice. The result: frustration on the team and, in the worst case, lost orders.
Live team dispatching with CargoWiz
CargoWiz provides a collaborative dispatch board where several dispatchers can work simultaneously in real time – without overwriting each other. You see every tour, vehicle, trailer and driver in one overview and assign equipment in just a few clicks. Tours you don't drive yourself can be assigned to an external carrier in exactly the same way – CargoWiz generates the matching transport order automatically and sends it to the carrier by email. The system automatically checks for conflicts: double-booked vehicles, missing qualifications, upcoming maintenance, driver availability. Once a tour is fully dispatched you hand it over to your telematics with one click – the driver receives the order and route on their device with nobody having to retype anything. Tours can be split, driver swaps planned and daily handovers documented digitally. The entire dispatch history is traceable, so substitutes or new hires can jump straight in – the knowledge stays in the system.
