Last-mile delivery management for couriers and delivery businesses, with routing, dispatch and shipment visibility.
About Dispatch Science
Dispatch Science is a cloud-based last-mile platform for courier and delivery operations. It combines order intake, route optimization, configured dispatch rules, driver mobile workflows, proof of delivery, customer visibility and billing. The driver app can retain completed stops offline and synchronize on reconnection, with some functions unavailable offline. Pricing depends on the plan, driver count, routing/API or finance add-ons, and implementation scope.

Planning and multimodal execution
How Dispatch Science plans and executes last-mile delivery work.
Route planning and optimization
(native):
Dispatch Science documents route planning and optimization as part of its transportation-management platform.
Condition: The reviewed pages do not enumerate every solver constraint, supported mode, planning limit, or optimization objective.
Broad multimodal freight planning
(not verified):
The reviewed sources do not provide enough detail to verify ocean, air, rail, or broad long-haul multimodal planning; this is not a conclusion that the product lacks those capabilities.
Questions to test in a demo
Build a route with time windows, service times, capacity, skills, and traffic, then re-optimize after a disruption.
Show which delivery modes and fleet models are supported in the purchased edition.
Carrier, rate, and tender management
How Dispatch Science assigns delivery work and connects logistics participants.
Dispatch execution
(native):
Dispatch Science documents dispatch as a core execution capability for delivery operations.
Condition: Public materials do not specify carrier tender sequencing, rate-card governance, acceptance windows, or fallback rules.
Carrier procurement and tender fallback
(not verified):
The reviewed sources do not provide enough detail to verify procurement, contract-rate management, tender fallback, or carrier scorecards; this is not a conclusion that the product lacks them.
Questions to test in a demo
Assign a delivery to a driver or connected carrier, then simulate rejection, reassignment, and confirmation.
Show how rates, service levels, carrier eligibility, and accessorials are configured and audited.
Shipment visibility and exception handling
How operators monitor deliveries and resolve operational exceptions.
Tracking and exception management
(native):
Dispatch Science documents tracking and tools for dispatchers to manage exceptions.
Condition: The reviewed pages do not specify location-source coverage, event latency, exception taxonomy, escalation rules, or remediation automation.
Complete freight audit and order-to-cash
(not verified):
The reviewed sources do not provide enough detail to verify end-to-end freight audit, receivables, collections, and cash application; this is not a conclusion that the product lacks those capabilities.
Questions to test in a demo
Generate a bill from completed delivery and proof-of-delivery records, then show adjustments and accounting export.
How Dispatch Science integrates delivery operations and exposes data.
Integrations and extensibility
(native):
Dispatch Science documents integrations as part of its logistics platform and describes an extensibility layer for connected operations.
Condition: The reviewed pages do not provide a complete endpoint catalog, authentication model, limits, connector pricing, or implementation scope.
Self-service rule governance
(not verified):
The reviewed sources do not provide enough detail to verify no-code workflow administration, environments, approvals, versioning, testing, and rollback; this is not a conclusion that the product lacks those capabilities.
Questions to test in a demo
Connect an order source, telematics system, and accounting platform, showing schemas, retries, monitoring, and replay.
Change a route, exception, or billing rule and show permissions, testing, effective dating, audit history, and rollback.
Before you choose: Confirm which capabilities apply to your plan and setup, and ask about any listed conditions.
