“Before automation, our dispatchers were exhausted by 3pm from non-stop calls. Now the bot handles 80% of driver communication automatically. We added 15 more vehicles without hiring extra dispatchers.”
The challenge
- Dispatchers spent 6+ hours daily on phone calls coordinating routes with 40+ drivers
- No real-time visibility into where drivers were or when deliveries would complete
- Manual route assignment caused inefficiencies: drivers often backtracked or took suboptimal paths
- Paper-based waybills required hours of manual data entry back at the office
- No automated client notification system: customers called constantly for delivery updates
- End-of-day reporting took dispatchers 2+ hours to compile from hand-written logs
Our solution
- Built a Telegram bot for drivers that accepts tasks, confirms pickups and reports delivery status with one tap
- Developed real-time dispatcher dashboard showing all vehicles, routes, and delivery statuses on a live map
- Implemented automated route optimization engine suggesting the most efficient daily sequence
- Created a digital waybill system: drivers fill in departure/arrival via the bot and data flows directly to the CRM
- Built automated customer SMS notifications on pickup, in-transit, and delivery completion
- Automated end-of-day reports (mileage, completed routes, exceptions), generated and sent to managers automatically
- Integrated fuel consumption tracking per route and driver for cost control
- Built automated overtime and exception alerts to dispatchers when deliveries run behind schedule
