Transportation Resource Manager
Executive Summary
Syntelic’s fast and accurate Transportation Resource Manager tool
helps you make optimal driver assignments to stay ahead of the
Department of Transportation’s new Hours of Service rules, increase
your equipment utilization, and keep your drivers satisfied about
their schedules. Syntelic’s “smart” logic and timeline tool lets you see
and set daily dispatch plans with confidence even several days in
advance.
Balance Daily Demand with Available Resources
Building a daily dispatch involves many factors. You have to consider
the availability of drivers based on their current hours of service,
vacation requests, unplanned absences, and possible overtime
implications. What tractors and trailers are available depends on
maintenance schedules. Your operations may also include master
routes, bid packages, or other requirements that further compli-
cate planning. One mistake can cost you precious time, money, and
customers.
Syntelic’s Transportation Resource Manager brings together all of the
many factors that go into making smarter route assignments. Today’s
dispatch plan should not complicate the next day’s plan. When
building a daily dispatch plan with Syntelic you can look into the past,
the present, and the future to assign drivers and equipment to routes
quickly and efficiently.
Benefits of Syntelic
Ensure compliance with DOT
hours of service rules.
Increase equipment utilization.
Gain daily visibility into transpor-
tation operations using interactive
dashboards and user configurable
views.
Satisfy drivers’ expectations for
scheduled leave.
Reduce labor expenses.
Use a Timeline for
Planning
Syntelic pulls together
route histories from actual
onboard computer data. It
then compares that history
with information about
future routes from master
route schedules, schedule
requests, planned leave,
bid packages, and tractor
and trailer maintenance
schedules. The planning
dashboard shows all routes to be planned, any pre-
assigned routes, a list of drivers and their available
hours of service (HOS), and available equipment. As you
make route assignments, Syntelic’s Horizon Timeline
View lines up the route schedule with driver history to
prevent HOS violations and reduce overtime hours.
Adjustments are as easy as dragging and dropping
drivers onto routes, until all routes are planned.
Configured for Your Operations
Because every company is different, Syntelic’s Transpor-
tation Resource Manager can be configured to your
business rules and your workflow. You decide what you
need to see in every table column and row. Filtering
data is as easy as a mouse click. Hide columns or drag-
and-drop to move them. Syntelic’s easy dashboard
builder allows you to set up custom dashboards by
combining views of routes, drivers, available equipment
or any relevant transportation data.
