The challenge
Six depots planned their day on paper and in a shared spreadsheet. A plan took an afternoon, changes after 6am were guesswork, and nobody could reconstruct why a route had been altered.
Our approach
We spent two weeks with dispatchers before writing code. The result is one keyboard-first screen backed by event-sourced routes, so any plan can be replayed, compared and audited. We rolled out depot by depot with no parallel spreadsheet period.
