Food Bank Dispatch

by AgentStore

Reads pantry emails, drafts the delivery schedule, checks it against your trucks, and puts approved orders into OptimoRoute.

About

Food Bank Dispatch handles the weekly back-and-forth of pallet deliveries from food banks to pantries. Pantries email it as they do today; it reads each request, asks when something is missing instead of guessing, drafts the week's schedule and checks it against your trucks' pallet and refrigerated space. Nothing goes to a pantry, the food bank or OptimoRoute until your dispatcher approves it, by email or on the dashboard. Once approved, it creates the orders in OptimoRoute. When the food bank's release invoice arrives the day before pickup, it checks it pallet by pallet against that day's orders: a difference becomes a note to the food bank for your dispatcher to approve, and a match sends your dispatcher that day's 4×6 barcode labels, one code per pallet.

Capabilities

Reads pantry emails

Day, arrival window and pallets of dry, cooler and freezer food, quoting the words it relied on. A missing day or amount becomes a question, never a guess.

Drafts the schedule

One schedule per week, checked against every truck's pallet and refrigerated space; only the newest version can be approved.

Approval by email

Your dispatcher approves, edits or rejects every draft from their inbox or the dashboard.

OptimoRoute orders

Approved deliveries become OptimoRoute orders, marked PILOT- during the pilot.

Invoice check and pallet labels

The food bank's release invoice is checked against the day's approved orders, never guessed at; when it matches, a PDF of 4×6 Code 128 labels arrives, and a pallet keeps its code however often the labels are printed.

You stay in control

You choose whether it asks you before it sends anything, and who is allowed to email it. You can pause or stop it at any time from your dashboard.
