The problem it solves

Every time a new job comes in, you or your team have to manually jump into your delivery software and create the task from scratch. That double entry eats time and it is easy to fat-finger an address or miss a job entirely.

Who it fits

Local delivery and courier businesses that track jobs in Airtable and dispatch drivers through Onfleet.

How it works

  1. New row appears in your Airtable base
  2. The automation reads the job details from that row
  3. A matching delivery task is created in Onfleet
  4. Your dispatcher and driver see the new job ready to route
What you get

Delivery jobs that appear in Onfleet without retyping

You get new Airtable rows turned automatically into delivery tasks your dispatcher and driver can see right away.

What you get

A new delivery task in Onfleet that matches the job details from your spreadsheet, with nothing typed twice.

What you need

An Airtable account and an Onfleet account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
