Short answer

How can I track my drivers and dispatches with AI?

You can ask your AI to pull real-time driver lists and active dispatch details directly from McLeod Software. This gives you an instant view of who is available and what loads are currently moving.

Where every update lands.

Real-time fleet visibility

Your AI pulls data from McLeod Software to give you these specific outcomes.

AVAILABILITY

Driver status checks

The AI identifies which drivers are currently available for new loads. You get a clear list of personnel ready for assignment.

DISPATCH

Active load tracking

Your agent pulls current dispatch information to show you exactly what is on the road. You can see active assignments without opening the full McLeod interface.

DETAILS

Deep dive on loads

When you need specifics, the AI fetches granular data on a single dispatch. This includes the exact details of a specific shipment or route.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI only reads and reports data. You still handle the actual dispatching, driver communication, and manual McLeod updates.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your McLeod data.

  1. Identify drivers

    The AI scans your McLeod database to find all registered drivers. This helps you see who is in your system.

    list_drivers

  2. Check availability

    The agent filters through the driver list to find those ready for work. It looks for specific availability statuses.

    list_drivers

  3. Locate active loads

    The AI pulls a list of all current dispatches. This shows you what is currently active in the field.

    list_dispatches

  4. Retrieve specifics

    If you ask about a specific load, the AI fetches the full details for that single dispatch. This provides the exact context you need.
