The Brain

The intelligence that runs the day.

The Brain watches every route, charge and cost as it happens. It handles the routine on its own, brings the real decisions to your team, and keeps a record of everything it does.

It watchesIt actsIt improves

What it watches for

A normal day runs itself. The Brain is built for everything that isn't.

Customers who aren't home, vans that break down, roads that close, phones that lose signal. Each situation has its answer worked out in advance: what happens on its own, and when a person is needed.

How it decides

Four ways a decision gets made.

Every situation goes to the simplest way that can handle it properly. Many never need more than a rule. Only the ones that truly need judgment reach a person.

Situation
01

A fixed rule

The same answer every time, the moment it happens.

Instant
02

Your policy

A clear choice from a list of options you've approved.

Instant
03

A quick read

When options are close, or a note, voice message or photo needs reading. If it can't answer in seconds, your policy's choice stands.

1 to 3 seconds
04

A person

Injury, money, or a promise to a customer your policy can't keep. The choice arrives prepared.

Your team

A driver leaves a voice note: "Nobody home, left a card."The note is read, the attempt is recorded and the customer gets a link to rebook.Quick read
A van is in an accident.The driver's safety comes first. Your dispatcher is reached at once, and the stops wait until the route is handed over to a spare van and driver.Person
  • Safety and money go to a person

    Nothing about an injury, a refund or cash is ever left to a model. You choose who is reached, never whether.

  • Every choice is made in one place

    All decisions happen inside the Brain, so there is one answer to each situation and one record of it.

  • Nothing waits on a slow answer

    If a quick read takes too long, your policy's choice goes ahead. The day keeps moving.

When a delivery runs late

The same delay. Three different answers.

How late a route is changes what the right move is. The Brain works out which one it is, and only brings it to your team when the customer's promise can't be kept.

14 minutes

The window still holds.

Stop 8 arrives later than planned but still inside the customer's window. The tracking page shows the new time. No message goes out, because nothing the customer was promised has changed.

Decided byYour policyNobody was called.

Why not move stop 8 to another van?

Its parcels are on Route 07's van. Moving a stop means moving its parcels too, so the Brain never does that on its own: a person decides. The exception is a breakdown or an accident, when the whole route is handed over to a spare van and driver, or its orders go back into planning.

Your rules

You decide how far it goes.

Everything the Brain does on its own is written down as a plain agreement: what it can do, within what limit, and when it stops and asks.

Re-ordering a routeSample settings
What it can do

Re-order the stops left on a route, or hand a whole route to another driver before it starts.

Within what limit

Up to $300 of revenue affected at a time.

When it asks

Above that limit, or when a customer's window would be missed.

Your rules · SettingsSample

Money limits

The amounts above which it asks first, for reroutes, charges or anything that touches revenue.

Safety

Who is reached when a driver may be hurt, and in what order. Safety always goes to a person.

What it does alone

Which actions it can take without asking, such as sending a spare van under a set cost.

Talking to customers

When it messages a customer, when it holds back, and quiet hours when it never does.

Or start from a setting and adjust

It handles the routine and asks on the rest.

Fixes inside your limits happen on their own.

  • Update a tracking page
  • Re-order a route
  • Send a spare van
  • Rebook a missed delivery

Sample actions

Whatever the setting, safety, the law and moving a stop's parcels to another van stay with a person. After a breakdown or an accident, the whole route is handed over.

Loosening a limit shows exactly what will change before it takes effect. Tightening one is instant. Every change is on the record.

What it does

Nine jobs, one Brain.

The work a busy office does by hand all day, split into nine jobs. Each one has its own agreement, and all of them share the same view of the day.

Across the ecosystem

One intelligence across the work and the money.

The Brain doesn't stop at the delivery. It sees the routes, the charges and the costs together, so it can act on things no single tool would notice.

At the stopA driver waits 12 minutes at the dock.
The wait time is caught and billed.
On the roadA driver doesn't show.
The route goes to another driver, and the customer keeps their time.
In the booksA customer is served below cost.
It's flagged while there's still time to fix the price.

Trust

Everything it does is on the record.

What it saw, what it did, why, and under which of your rules. Nothing happens off the books.

  • Any delivery, traced

    Open any stop and see every decision made about it, by the Brain or by your team.

  • It doesn't guess

    When information is missing or a situation is new, it asks.

  • Your rules are on the record too

    Every change to a limit is logged, with who made it and when.

It improves

Every outcome makes the next day better.

The Brain checks each action against what happened next. What works becomes the default. What keeps going wrong comes to your team with a fix, so fewer things need a person over time.

  1. 01

    Act

    It handles the situation, within your rules.

  2. 02

    Check

    Did the customer get their time? Did the fix pay for itself?

  3. 03

    Learn

    The result is measured against your goals: on time, cost and profit, not just speed.

  4. 04

    Adjust

    Better defaults, and suggestions for your rules where the same problem keeps coming back.

How a change earns its place

  1. 01 · It notices

    Something stands out

    Every day it compares each area, driver, customer and hour with its own past and its peers, and keeps only the real, large differences.

    What stands out, daily
  2. 02 · It replays

    Tried on your past days

    A change is tried on your recent days first. Nothing real is touched.

    Tested before it runs
  3. 03 · It trials

    Run on a few routes

    A random group of routes gets the change, checked on every goal. If anything gets worse, it stops on its own.

    Stops itself if it hurts
  4. 04 · It adopts

    Kept when every goal improves

    A change becomes the standard only when every goal you set is better. Drivers and customers are told before it takes effect.

    Every goal, not one number
  5. 05 · You decide

    Undone in one click

    Any change, any time. It never redoes what a person undid.

    Your call, always

Your goals, in your words

Tell it what matters most: on time, cost, driver hours. Every trade-off is weighed against them, and every change to them is on the record.

It asks for what it doesn't know

When a fact is missing, it asks whoever has it, the driver, the customer or your office, all at once. Or it offers: decide yourself, or let me, by a deadline.

Fewer things need a person

A weekly figure shows how often it needed your team, with a target to bring it down.

Also built in

The details that make it safe to hand over.

The parts of a dispatcher's day nobody writes down, written into the Brain.

  • Its own track record

    Before it decides, it reads how its past choices in the same situation turned out.

  • Every decision measured

    Each one is checked against what it was for: lateness after a re-order, messages sent in time, alerts a person acted on.

  • One question, not a thousand

    When the whole fleet runs late for one reason, you get one question, not one per route.

  • Tell it what's going on

    Leave a note, like "depot closed until noon", and it works around it. Or hold all its changes with one switch.

  • A safety hold

    While a safety incident is open, it changes nothing on that route and messages no customer.

  • Crash detection

    A hard jolt asks the driver "Are you OK?" out loud. No answer brings help.

  • "Everything OK?"

    A driver parked off-plan gets one tap to say all is fine before the office is bothered.

  • Phone health

    Battery, location, permissions and clock are checked through the day, and fixed before the route goes dark.

  • Calm coaching

    Speeding and harsh driving get a few short messages, never a stream of them.

  • Legal driving hours

    A route never goes to a driver past the legal limit, and unknown hours are never treated as legal.

  • A cap on customer messages

    No customer gets more than three messages in four hours, however many routes go wrong.

  • Undo

    Anything it did, a person can undo, and it never redoes what a person undid.
