CORE SYSTEM FEATURESHigh Speed Auto-DespatchDon’t waste time by having drivers sat around doing nothing waiting for your system togive work out. Storm despatch server can process a driver clearing and give them theirnext job in under a second!

Making Auto-Despatch Fairer for EveryoneUtilising Storm despatch’s uniquely fair auto-despatch system, all of your drivers can havean equal share of the work available. Work is automatically allocated by the server toeither the closest driver, or the driver who has been waiting the longest since their lastjob. It’s up to you how the server chooses which driver to give the next job to – or youcan let the server choose depending on how busy your circuit is at any given time.

When drivers bid for a job, the drivers who are slower with their PDA can sometimesget left behind. With Storm despatch , this problem is avoided and the driver who hasbeen waiting the longest to get a job takes priority over a driver who has just had a job.

Automated BackupsAutomated backups to the location of your choice to ensure that your system isalways safe and protected from failure.

Ultra-ReliableStorm despatch Server utilizes industry-leading Microsoft SQL Server technology toensure that your system is ultra-reliable. No wasting time waiting for old systems toperform a re-index each time you restart your server – or trying to troubleshoot a serverrunning on an old DOS system. Storm despatch runs on Windows Server technologies.Proving to be the best in service and reliability.

Fail-SafeWith Storm despatch Server’s advanced self-monitoring systems, the system is able toautomatically fix itself should there be any problems!

Instant SupportStorm despatch Server will automatically notify Storm despatch Support should itencounter any problems – that way, an error at 3 AM could have been reported and fixedby our dedicated support team before you even get up in the morning!
