✨ What is transport allocation in Dashdoc ?

You are a shipper, and you work with several transport providers, referenced on specific flows?
Are you looking to gain efficiency and visibility when chartering your transport orders ?

The attribution in Dashdoc is made for you !

  1. The transport allocation tool allows you to compare the prices of your providers on a route and to allocate your transport in a click.

  2. Automatic allocation allows you to automatically pre-allocate a transport order to a provider based on allocation rules defined by you.

Assigning shipments has never been easier !

⏰ What criteria are needed to define a service ?

  • A carrier, present in your address book

  • Pickup and delivery areas, which can range from a department to a zip code

  • A vehicle type

  • A price

  • A minimum/maximum quantity, the price being valid in this interval (optional)

📦 How do you assign orders using these benefits ?

  1. Create your transport order (without mentioning any means)

  2. Dashdoc asks you to specify the type of vehicle you want, ex: Tautliner.
    Select your vehicle type.

  3. Find the list of referenced carriers and their associated rates.

  4. Select the desired carrier and send him a transport request.

At any time, you can assign a carrier that does not have any services listed, or cancel your current request :


2. Automatic allocation in Dashdoc :

Save time and Pre-assign an order to a carrier by setting up automatic assignment rules !

🏷 How to manage automatic assignment rules for transport orders ?

From the menu “Charters” > “To be assignedor from To be sent to the carrier” :

At the top left of your screen, you will find the “Manage my transport allocation” button.

  1. Click on “Create an allocation rule”.

  2. Give a name to this rule

  3. Define the rule:
    When my home department is : such department or such zip code
    And my destination is such department or such postal code
    For such type of vehicle
    So : the carrier to whom to assign the transport is…

You can activate, deactivate or delete an allocation rule at any time.

Once the rule is activated, the automatic pre-assignment will be applied as soon as the transport is created.

All you have to do is send the shipment to the carrier or modify the pre-defined provider from your “Shipments” > “Send to carrier” menu.
