If you’re a fleet dispatcher, you know you have a tough job ― especially if you’re still mapping routes and planning for contingencies by hand, or even using less sophisticated mapping programs. There are things you can do that will help optimize your dispatching efforts, though, like those listed below.

Prioritize, Prioritize, Prioritize

Have a system in place that defines which customers require immediate responses and prioritize remaining customers according to need. This way, the emergencies and/or VIPs get handled quickly and efficiently and the other matters are handled according to the severity of the need.

Far too many businesses are decidedly one-dimensional when it comes to considering the benefits of GPS fleet tracking. They believe it is only about reducing fuel costs or planning better routes.

• Improved customer service and customer satisfaction.
• Less downtime due to accidents and breakdowns.

Early Signs of Dementia

In its earliest stages, symptoms of dementia are generally recognized as forgetfulness. Not just forgetting things like names and dates. Forgetting faces. Forgetting words. Getting lost in places that should be familiar. Short-term memory is usually the most profoundly impacted in early stages while long-term memories, for now, remain intact.
