Products : Operations
The VanS Operations system is an integrated VanS module that assists in the scheduling and dispatching of the personnel and equipment needed to complete a successful move. Tasks are scheduled to be completed at specific dates and times, and may be assigned drivers, equipment, crews, helpers, and other required resources.
Scheduling
- Assign pack, load, and delivery tasks to specific dates and times.
- Drivers, crews, equipment and other resources can be assigned to scheduled tasks using user-definable inquiry screens.
- Tasks can be automatically created and updated as orders are added based on dates.
- Tasks can automatically be set to "pending" requiring dispatcher approval.
Determining Available Resources
- Available resources (i.e. drivers, equipment, crews, helpers) can be viewed in a calendar format.
- Scheduled tasks can be easily matched to available resources and viewed or printed for a specific day, or across a spread of days.
Viewing Options
- The Dispatch Inquiry screen permits multiple views of scheduling requirements, including both assigned and available resources.
- Calendar screens allow drag/drop editing of times and assigned drivers.
Reports
- A few of the Operations Report options include:
- User-defined Dispatch Report/Day Sheet
- Preferred Date Dispatch Report
- Scheduled Tasks Report
- Unassigned Tasks Report
- New/Changed Dispatch Items
- Unscheduled Tasks Report
Interfaces
- Complete dispatch history is maintained and accessible through the VanS Order Entry system.
- Fully integrated with other VanS applications including Order Processing, Forms Designer, Driver Processing and Application Manager.
