A transportation company with 150 drivers was spending 8 hours every week manually building route schedules. Their dispatcher would print driver availability sheets, cross-reference delivery addresses, and build routes on whiteboards. By Thursday afternoon, half the routes needed changes anyway.
We built a scheduling bot using Monday.com's automation features and basic Zapier connections. Driver availability flows in from a simple form. Delivery addresses sync from their existing CRM. The system generates initial routes in 10 minutes instead of 8 hours.
The dispatcher now spends 45 minutes reviewing routes instead of building them from scratch. She uses the saved 7 hours for customer calls and driver support. Route changes that used to take 30 minutes now happen in 5.
