The run · Last-mile logistics
Dispatch-grade manifests, driver POD, and live route status in one straight-shooting flow — without enterprise TMS overhead or end-of-day paperwork lag.
Transit operations with paperwork that does not slow the line.
From route planning to signature capture, GreatPlainsTransit keeps dispatch and drivers synchronized in one flow.
Create and assign routes to drivers and vehicles with clear stop sequencing and daily operational visibility.
Group delivery notes into route manifests so every driver has a complete and accurate run sheet.
Capture completion data at each stop and update delivery status without waiting for end-of-day paperwork.
Record recipient signatures and location metadata at confirmation time for strong delivery audit trails.
Work in low-connectivity zones using offline queues, then push confirmations automatically once online.
Monitor active routes and stop outcomes in real time so dispatch can handle exceptions quickly.
Charts break down manifest and line-item status plus van routes for the day — turn on live Socket.IO refresh when ERP posts hit the board.
Pull ERP delivery orders by route date, align them with van routes, and add stops into open manifests without bouncing between spreadsheets.
Drill into a manifest to manage stops, advance status, adjust lines, and print or download carrier-ready labels from dispatch.
Review failed or stuck ERP callbacks — including dead-letter and retry lanes — and replay operations when dispatch needs to nurse sync back to green.
Open the field stops list and snap a barcode so the right delivery ID surfaces instantly instead of scrolling the full run.
Attach site photos alongside signatures, GPS stamps, driver notes, and structured outcomes before the confirm payload leaves the device.
Queue confirmations locally in the browser outbox, show pending sync state on the driver shell, and flush automatically when the connection returns.
Switch languages from the admin sidebar and flip light or dark theme so dispatch boards stay readable on the warehouse floor.
Browse structured help articles in-product, ask CatBot for quick answers, and submit feature requests without leaving the dispatcher workspace.
Scores reflect common buyer-facing positioning (not an exhaustive RFP matrix). Yes = clearly advertised or widely accepted strength; Partial = varies by edition, partner, or scope; No = not a marketed advantage; Unclear = insufficient public detail.
