Dispatch that warns customers before they ring

Lanepost assigns tomorrow's loads to the right driver, checks every truck against its booked slot, and messages the customer the minute a drop slips.

Your traffic office, one Thursday at a time

A sick call, a closed A-road, a missed slot. Here is what Lanepost did with each before your planner had finished the first coffee.

What it does

Three jobs your planners do forty times a shift

Lanepost reads your TMS, telematics and tachograph data, proposes the move, and waits for a yes on anything outside your rules.

Assigns loads

The right driver, trailer and slot

Lanepost weighs drivers' hours, trailer type, start postcode and the customer's booking window, then lays out the plan. Your planner reads it once and approves.

112 loads planned in 2 min 40 s

Tracks delays

Every truck checked against its slot

Telematics, live traffic and tacho breaks feed one ETA per drop. When a delivery drifts past its window, the planner sees it before the driver rings in.

Re-plans the day

One late truck, not four late loads

When T14 runs late, Lanepost checks what it was due to collect next, finds the nearest driver with hours left, and offers the swap.

Tells customers first

Customers hear it from you, not from an empty bay

One late drop, from the closure on the M62 to the goods-in manager's reply. Four minutes, no phone calls.

Drivers' hours, trailer fit and the customer's booking window are checked on every suggestion. Breaking one needs a named person.

Drivers' hours, always counted

Tacho data in, so no load is offered to a driver who can't legally finish it.

Rollout

Live in four weeks, without swapping your TMS

Start with one depot. Lanepost earns each new right only after your planners have watched it get the last one right.

  1. Week 1

    Shadow mode

    Reads your TMS and telematics, plans alongside your team, changes nothing.

  2. Week 2

    Suggestions

    Planners accept or reject each proposed load; every no teaches it your rules.

  3. Week 3

    Assigns under your limits

    Routine loads go out on their own; edge cases still wait for a person.

  4. Week 4

    Customer messages on

    Late-drop emails and texts go to goods-in contacts you have approved.

We used to hear a drop was late when the DC rang us. Now goods-in has the email before my planner has finished his first brew.

FAQ

What transport managers ask before the pilot

Systems, what it does without asking, and what your drivers and customers see.

Rather talk it through?

Our team ran traffic offices before building this. Calls answered from Stoke, 06:00 to 18:00.

Email the team
Does it replace our TMS?

No. Lanepost reads loads from your TMS and writes assignments back to it, so invoicing, PODs and your reports stay where they are.

Which telematics does it read?

The common fleet telematics and tachograph download services connect in the first week. If yours isn't on the list, we build the link during the pilot.

How long until it's useful?

Delay alerts work from day two. Load suggestions are useful by the end of week two, once it has seen how your planners decide.

What does it do without asking?

Only what you switch on: routine assignments under your rules and late-drop messages under your time limit. Everything else waits for a planner.

Can it break drivers' hours rules?

It never offers a load a driver can't legally finish. Overriding that needs a named person, and the override is logged.

What if the customer replies?

Replies land on the load. Anything it can't answer, such as a refused delivery, goes straight to the planner on shift.

Do drivers need a new app?

No. Drivers keep their current handheld or app; Lanepost sends job changes through it.

Where is our data kept?

In UK data centres, encrypted at rest and in transit, and never used to train models for other customers.

Whose name do customers see?

Yours. Messages go out from your domain with your depot's phone number.

Hand Lanepost tomorrow's loads. Keep the final say.
