The problem it solves

Setting up delivery tasks one at a time by typing them into your dispatch system is slow, especially when you already have the details in a spreadsheet. Re-entering the same information by hand also invites typos that cause delivery problems.

Who it fits

A delivery or logistics operation that plans routes with Onfleet.

How it works

  1. The automation is run with a local spreadsheet of delivery details
  2. Each row is read from the spreadsheet in order
  3. Details are matched to the correct task fields
  4. A matching delivery task is created in Onfleet for every row

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.
