Dispatch & Driver Management

Dispatch and Driver Management Software for Materials Operations

A dispatcher at a recycling or recovery business is juggling roll-off swaps, customer pickups, return collections, and transfers between yards, often with a whiteboard and a phone. When a driver misses a stop or a truck shows up over capacity, the office finds out late, and billing waits until someone sorts out what actually happened.

Loop ERP's Dispatch and Driver Management plans routes, assigns drivers and trucks, and records each stop in the same NetSuite system that runs your tickets, inventory, and billing.

What It Does
What is dispatch and driver management in an ERP?

Key Features

icon

Central Dispatch Board

Plan inbound and outbound routes from one screen. See scheduled pickups, deliveries, and transfers by date, time, driver, truck, and route.

icon

Driver Assignment and Workload Balancing

Assign pickups, deliveries, and stops to drivers using rules based on shift, territory, vehicle capacity, or the type of material they are cleared to haul.

icon

Mixed Multi-Stop Routes

Build a single route that combines customer deliveries, container pickups, partner returns, and recycling hauls, instead of sending a separate truck for each job.

icon

Mobile App for Drivers

Drivers use a mobile app to view assignments, confirm pickups and drop-offs, capture signatures, and report problems from the cab as they happen.

icon

Chain-of-Custody at Every Handoff

Record who had each load and when, including condition at handoff, timestamp, and recipient confirmation, from the first pickup to the final destination.

icon

GPS Tracking and ETAs

See where trucks are and which stops are done. Share ETAs with your team or partners and adjust routes when a pickup runs late or a stop is canceled.

icon

Return Pickups Tied to RMAs

Schedule drivers for return pickups from consumers, retailers, or partners directly from the RMA or return order, so the pickup and the return stay linked.

icon

Vehicle and Fleet Management

Track which truck is assigned to which driver, its capacity limits, and how much it is used, so you can plan loads and schedule maintenance.

icon

Dispatch Exception Handling

Log failed deliveries, missed pickups, wrong-location scans, and load mismatches as tickets in the system, then reassign or reroute the work.

Routes That Run in More Than One Direction

Purpose-Built for Circular Logistics

Routes That Run in More Than One Direction

In circular operations, trucks bring material in, take product out, and collect returns on the same day. Dispatchers and drivers use Loop ERP to:

  • Coordinate pickups of returns, cores, scrap, and post-consumer material
  • Schedule drop-offs to processors, refurbishers, and downstream buyers
  • Give drivers handling instructions based on grade or condition
  • Route trucks across yards, customer sites, and recycling facilities

Every stop a driver completes updates the load it belongs to.

Know Where Every Truck and Load Stands

From driver signatures to live route status, Dispatch and Driver Management gives you a recorded, auditable trail for every mile your fleet runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Loop ERP

Can Loop ERP handle large-scale operations?

icon

Yes. Loop ERP is built on NetSuite, the same platform used by enterprise operators, multi-site businesses, and high-volume processors. It handles multi-entity accounting, consolidated reporting across locations, high daily transaction volumes, and complex settlement structures without slowing down. If you are running one site today and five next year, you do not need to replatform to keep up.

How long does it take to implement Loop ERP?

icon

Implementation time varies, depending on the number of locations, material streams, and integrations involved (scales, cameras, payment processors, third-party logistics). The Loop ERP team handles data migration, workflow configuration, integration, and training in parallel, and we work directly with your operations leads, not just IT, so the system matches how your business actually runs on day one.

What support does Loop ERP offer?

icon

Loop ERP provides implementation support, training for operations and finance teams, and ongoing technical support after go-live. Clients get access to documentation, how-to guides, and direct consultation with our team for troubleshooting, configuration changes, and new workflow setup. Support is handled by people who understand the difference between a ticketing issue and a grading exception, not a generic help desk working from a script.

How secure is Loop ERP?

icon

Loop ERP runs on Oracle NetSuite, so your data lives inside enterprise cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and audit logging on every transaction. Ticket edits, grade changes, and settlement adjustments all carry a user stamp and timestamp. If a record is overridden or reclassified, you can see who did it and when, which matters for disputes, audits, and internal controls.

How do drivers receive their assignments?

Drivers use Loop ERP's mobile app to see their assigned routes and stops for the day. From the app they confirm pickups and drop-offs, capture signatures, and report problems such as a blocked container or a load that doesn't match the order. Dispatchers see those updates on the dispatch board as they come in, without phone calls back to the office.

Can one route include pickups and deliveries?

Yes. A single route can mix customer deliveries, scrap or container pickups, partner returns, and recycling hauls. Dispatchers assign stops based on driver shift, territory, vehicle capacity, and the type of material a driver is cleared to haul, which helps fill trucks in both directions and cut empty miles across your service area.

How is chain of custody recorded during transport?

Each handoff records who had the load, when it changed hands, its condition at pickup and drop-off, and who confirmed receipt. That history stays attached to the load in the ERP, so when material arrives at the scale or a customer site, its path is documented for audits, customer questions, and settlement.

How is this different from Dispatch Portals?

Dispatch and Driver Management schedules your drivers and trucks: routes, stops, assignments, GPS tracking, and fleet usage. Dispatch Portals is the shipping desk for outbound material, where warehouse teams pick by grade, prepare paperwork, and coordinate carriers and transfers. Many operations use both, with portals handling what ships and driver management handling the trucks that haul it.
