Crew planning autopilot

The week plans itself.

Crews submit their availability once. The board allocates. The week goes out exactly as you approved it — to every crew at once.

The problem

Allocation by text message is how weeks fall apart.

One mis-allocated day — an empty van, a missed depot slot — costs more than a month of the Engine.

Chasing availability Spreadsheet boards Crews told late Gaps found Monday
The setup

Crews submit. You allocate. It dispatches.

Availability from their phones. The whole fleet on one board. One tap sends the week.

Wednesday deadline enforced automatically — late crews get the nudge, not you.

It’s intelligent

It runs the week, so you don’t.

  • Availability flows in. Every crew’s week, submitted from their phone, deadline enforced.
  • The board sees everything. Gaps, pairings and depots in one allocation view.
  • Dispatch is exact. What lands in every inbox is exactly the week you previewed — never a stale copy.
  • Never double-books. A crew can’t be allocated twice — the board won’t allow it.

Who it’s for

Made for the allocator drowning in texts.

Crews know their week early. Operators stop chasing.

The ask

£8 per crew, per month.

One empty van costs more than a month of the Engine for the whole fleet. Runs inside Parcelink, or bolts onto your stack through its dispatch API. Switch off just as cleanly.
