Efficient communication with drivers using fireTMS Driver
Complete documentation and real-time route statuses
In transport companies handling a high volume of shipments, continuous access to up-to-date information on order execution and seamless communication with drivers are among the key operational challenges. Lack of real-time visibility into delivery progress can result in unexpected delays and additional costs. This was exactly the situation faced by a company operating international transport services. Route information was delivered with delays, documents were only available after drivers returned, and trip data lacked clarity. The company needed a solution that would streamline communication and provide full visibility into transport execution.
Business Challenge
The lack of a dedicated tool for communication between drivers and dispatchers resulted in:
- delayed customer updates on order progress,
- long waiting times for documents required for invoicing,
- increased workload for dispatchers due to numerous phone calls and messages from drivers,
- limited ability to monitor route execution in real time.
Solution: fireTMS Driver - a mobile app for drivers
Sending orders directly to the driver app
Orders are transferred with a single click. The driver receives a complete set of information - loading and unloading points, delivery deadlines, and special instructions related to order execution.
Real-time route statuses in the system
- Drivers report work stages using predefined statuses in the app, such as break, customs inspection, loading completed, refueling, or rest. Data is instantly transmitted to fireTMS, giving dispatchers continuous insight into order progress.
Document scans sent directly from the road
- Drivers upload photos or scans of documents in the app. These are automatically assigned to the relevant order in the system.
In-app navigation with offline maps
- fireTMS Driver provides navigation that takes vehicle weight and road restrictions into account. Route guidance between order points is also available offline, ensuring reliable navigation even without internet access.
Transparent communication via built-in driver chat
- Dispatchers communicate directly from the fireTMS system, while drivers use the mobile app. Messages, document photos, and other files exchanged in the chat are automatically saved within the corresponding order. When needed, dispatchers can immediately contact drivers, share updated instructions, or verify the situation on the route.
Business Outcomes
Real-time visibility of route data
Statuses and document scans are transferred from fireTMS Driver to the system in real time. Dispatchers have instant insight into order stages, potential delays, and available documentation.
Faster invoicing and structured documentation
Documents are sent immediately after drivers receive them - even before unloading. This allows invoices to be prepared as soon as transport execution is completed.
Reduced dispatcher workload
The app eliminates the need for frequent phone calls and manual data collection from drivers. All information is centralized in one system, enabling dispatchers to focus on supervision and planning rather than repetitive coordination.
Consistent driver status reporting
Thanks to standardized route statuses, dispatchers always know the driver’s current stage and can monitor transport execution in real time.
