Verizon Connect® Dispatch™ is used in two ways: firstly to fine tune routes generated by Verizon Connect® Scenarios™ based on recurring job, shift, shift pattern, vehicle configuration, and other values specified in the enterprise fleet maintenance platform; and secondly to create jobs and routes itself for the next week and then fine tune these jobs and routes. Typically, this fine tuning takes place only days before routes are scheduled. Scenarios calculates the most efficient routes and estimated arrival times for each stop that drivers need to make days, weeks or even months in advance and at a very high level, often for entire regions or cities encompassing many depots and customers.

To adjust for constantly shifting conditions, depot managers and route planners will typically use Dispatch to:
 

In this help guide you can find detailed descriptions of the core tasks you can perform with Dispatch, such as managing routes and jobs, assigning jobs to driven routes, modifying the number or order of jobs in a route, and copying jobs directly from one route to another. These tasks are organized into logical groups for each feature.
