What's new for Dispatch 1.5 users?

New modern user interface

We have removed the clutter and streamlined the user interface to make it easier for new users to get started and experienced users to get work done.

Touch Mode support

Touch mode makes it easier to use Dispatch with tablets and touch screens. Controls like text input, list items and grid cells are automatically resized and easier to use with touch enabled devices.

This often requested feature is now ready to go. Dispatch now includes a Ticket Designer. Make a small customization to the default ticket or completely redesign the ticket format!

Electronic signature capture

Dispatch supports the Wacom STU-540 signature pad for capturing driver signatures electronically. When the signature pad is available you can configure the system to require a signature prior to printing a ticket.

 

Signature capture provides a secure method of ensuring that drivers sign for the load they are delivering. The electronically captured signature image is stored and can be printed directly on the drivers receipt.

 

When using laser or ink jet printers, electronic signature capture eliminates the requirement of the driver having to sign multiple copies of a ticket.

The captured signature is stored with the ticket and can be reproduced on multiple copies of a printed ticket.

Support for Topaz signature capture will be added as required. Unlike Wacom, Topaz has been not been co-operative about supplying sample product for testing.

QuickBooks support

This another feature that has been requested often — Import tickets directly into QuickBooks for Invoicing!

Simplified registration process

You can use Dispatch to send us your machine ID and we will send you a registration code that you can copy and paste or input manually. No more fiddling with licence files and Email attachments.

Automatic database backup

Schedule automatic database backups. Back up to your local computer, a computer or server on your local network, or use services like Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox to make off site backups on a schedule that you define.

Digitally signed installer

Our installer is digitally signed so you can have confidence that the file you've downloaded is exactly what we uploaded to our website.

The full installer is a measly ~100MB which makes it practical to download over a mobile hotspot or directly onto your phone when you do not have a local Internet connection.

Remote desktop access and support via TeamViewer

A licenced copy of TeamViewer QuickSupport is included with every installation. QuickSupport is available without having to go through an additional installation process. Simply click the TeamViewer tile while Dispatch is running and with a single mouse click you can allow us (and only us) remote access to your computer.
