Streamlining Your Fleet Management with Spedsta’s Route Optimization Tools

Hello and welcome to this tutorial, where I’ll guide you through using SPEDSTA’s Ride Manifest List, an essential tool for managing transportation routes effectively. This list details the stops our drivers will make to pick up and drop off passengers efficiently.  Click HERE for a video walkthrough.

Today, we’ll focus on the back-end features of our tool, specifically how to manage and optimize routes. Whether you’re dealing with a single vehicle or managing a fleet, the Ride Manifest List helps streamline your operations. Our routing tools accommodate various scenarios, like pooling passengers heading to the same destination, which might include community centers or shopping trips.

For instance, if you have passengers A, B, and C needing rides to the Senior Center, our tool helps determine the most efficient pickup order, ensuring timely and orderly transportation. Also, it’s not just about getting passengers to their destinations but managing meal deliveries or other package services, optimizing drop-offs in a sequence that saves time and resources.

Administrators have several tools at their disposal:

• Set date ranges to view planned routes.
• Use the copy feature to replicate frequent routes, reducing planning time.
• Directly adjust route times or change driver assignments to maintain flexibility.
• Live update features ensure that any changes are immediately reflected, keeping drivers informed.

For drivers, the Manifest List appears live on their dashboard, showing the day’s routes. They can access turn-by-turn directions through integrated navigation apps and communicate any changes or delays directly through the system.
