Delivery Dispatch Software for Delivery Companies

Move planned delivery work into execution from one connected platform.

FixLastMile helps delivery companies assign delivery work and routes, coordinate drivers, and manage the transition from planning to active delivery execution.

Planning Is Only Half the Operation

A Route Plan Does Not Execute Itself

Planning delivery work is only one stage of running a delivery operation.

Once routes or delivery tasks are ready, your team still needs to coordinate who is responsible for completing the work and move that work into execution. Dispatch teams may need to:

Dispatch Operational Requirements
Assign delivery work to drivers
Coordinate planned routes
Prepare work for execution
Manage driver responsibilities
Monitor work as it moves into the field
Respond when operational plans change

When route planning and dispatch happen in separate systems, teams can end up manually transferring information between tools before drivers can begin their work.

Planning
Assignment
Dispatch
Driver Execution

FixLastMile keeps these stages connected within one delivery operations platform.

From Planning to Field Execution

Move Delivery Work From Planning Into Execution

Dispatch is the operational bridge between planning and the work happening in the field. With FixLastMile, delivery work can move through a connected workflow.

Dispatch connects the delivery plan with the people responsible for executing it.

STEP 1

Delivery Work

Manage the pickup and delivery work your operation needs to complete.

02
STEP 2

Planning

Prepare and organize delivery work before execution.

03
STEP 3

Ready for Dispatch

Routes or delivery work become ready to move into the dispatch workflow.

04
STEP 4

Assignment

Assign delivery work or routes according to your operational workflow.

05
STEP 5

Dispatch

Move assigned work into driver execution.

06
STEP 6

Driver Execution

Drivers complete the delivery work assigned to them.

07
STEP 7

Completion

Completed work remains connected to the wider delivery record.

Dispatch Workflow Background
No Need to Rebuild the Delivery Plan

Dispatch Work That Is Already Connected to Your Operation

Dispatch should not require your team to recreate the work that has already been planned.

FixLastMile keeps delivery work connected as it moves through your operation. Depending on your workflow, dispatch may begin with:

Explore Route Planning & Optimization
Dispatch Starting Points
Individual delivery tasks
Pickup tasks
Pickup and delivery activity
Planned delivery work
Multi-stop routes

Move work from planning into execution without rebuilding the operational plan in a separate dispatch system. The same delivery work remains connected as it moves through planning, assignment, dispatch, and completion.

Assign Work Within the Delivery Workflow

Assign Tasks and Routes to Move Work Forward

Before delivery work can move into execution, responsibility needs to be clear.

FixLastMile supports a structured assignment workflow that connects delivery work with the driver or operational resource responsible for completing it. Depending on how your operation is organized, this can involve:

Individual delivery tasks
Pickup and delivery activity
Groups of related delivery work
Planned delivery routes

Keep assignments connected to the delivery work and route plan they belong to.

Planned Work
Assignment
Driver
Execution

This creates a clearer transition between planning and field operations.

From Responsibility to Execution

Prepare Delivery Work for Driver Execution

Assignment and dispatch are part of the same operational flow, but they serve different purposes.

An assignment establishes responsibility. Dispatch moves the work into execution.

FixLastMile helps delivery operations maintain a structured transition between:

STATE 1PLANNED

Delivery work is being organized.

Work is imported or created and prepped for assignment.

STATE 2ASSIGNED

Responsibility for the work has been established.

Specific drivers or routes are assigned responsibility.

STATE 3DISPATCHED

The work is ready to move into active execution.

Live route data is sent directly to driver applications.

This helps operations teams maintain a clearer view of where delivery work sits before it becomes active field work.

See What Is Moving Through Your Operation

Keep a Clear View of Delivery Work in Motion

Dispatch teams need to understand what work is ready, assigned, active, and completed.

FixLastMile brings delivery activity into a connected operational workflow so teams can coordinate work as it moves from planning into execution. Maintain a clearer view of:

Operational Dispatch View
Delivery work ready for execution
Assigned tasks and routes
Active driver work
Delivery status
Completed delivery activity

Instead of switching between separate planning, dispatch, and execution tools, keep operational work connected within the same platform.

Delivery Operations Do Not Always Go as Planned

Respond to Operational Changes Without Losing Context

Delivery operations can change throughout the day.

A driver may become unavailable. Delivery priorities may change. Work may need to be reassigned or adjusted.

FixLastMile helps keep operational changes connected to the same delivery workflow your team is managing.

Review delivery assignments and adjust operational plans based on the controls and workflows available in your FixLastMile configuration.

The goal is to manage changes without losing the connection between:

Connected Context Elements
The original delivery work
The route or operational plan
The current assignment
The driver responsible for execution

When plans change, the operational context should stay connected.

Turn the Operational Plan Into Field Work

Keep Drivers Connected to the Work They Need to Complete

Dispatch is successful when the planned work becomes clear driver execution.

FixLastMile connects dispatched delivery work with the driver workflow so operations teams and drivers are working from the same underlying delivery plan.

The driver experience becomes part of the wider delivery operation rather than a disconnected handoff.

Dispatch Starts Execution—It Doesn't End Visibility

Keep Visibility After Delivery Work Moves Into the Field

Once work has been dispatched, the delivery operation continues.

Operations teams need to remain connected to what happens during execution and after completion. FixLastMile connects dispatch with the downstream delivery workflow.
