Pleasant provided a self-dispatching system that integrates a series of modules, including inventory, customer management, and order creation, with the client’s accounting software. Each truck driver was equipped with a hand-held mobile device that displayed only appropriate  information, which enabled them to self-manage their own dispatching.

Portability must be integrated with business systems to deliver true efficiencies.
