MoverBiz Load Board

Screenshot

The MoverBiz Load Board allows you to dispatch and manage Work Tickets. The Live Filter allows you to control what you see while the dual-view Calendar and Grid View allow you to fully customize how you see it. The Tool Windows give you the ability to edit work dates or change assignments without having to open the Work Ticket record. Use the various Reports to manage Work Tickets that don't have assignments, dates, dispatcher, etc.

Reports

Work Tickets With No Work Dates Report

This window will list all of the services which have been completed by Customer Service but have no work dates assigned by Dispatch. Services are completed by Customer Service only when they have a Beginning and Ending Spread Date and a Preferred Date. Without these dates, the Dispatcher has no information as to when to schedule the work. Any operationally complete Service whose Beginning Spread Date falls on or before the Report Date entered and which have no assigned Work Date will be listed on this window. Once this window is blank, the Dispatcher has properly assigned a Work Date to all of the services to be performed as of the Report Date entered.

Work Tickets With No Assignments Report

This window will display all of the Services with a Work Date equal to the specified Report Date which have no assignments attached to them. This window is to be used after the Services have been assigned Work Dates in the Services With No Work Dates menu option. If the Service has no Work Date, then it will not be displayed on this window.

You will be allowed to assign Assignments to these services from this window. Once there are no more Services appearing on this window, then all of the Services for the selected Report Date have at least one Assignment attached to them.

Work Tickets With No Estimated Time Report

This window will identify all of the Services which have no Estimated Time on the selected Report Date which have not been completed in the system.

Work Tickets With No Dispatcher Report

This window will identify all of the Services which have no Dispatcher assigned on the selected Report Date which have not been completed in the system.

Work Tickets With Incomplete Work Dates Report

This window will identify all of the Services which were supposed to be done on the selected Report Date which have not been completed in the system. To be complete, each Service must have a Beginning Work Date and Time and an Ending Work Date and Time.

These services can be edited from this window. When there are no more listings on this window, then all of the Services have been properly completed by the Dispatcher.

Work Tickets With Incomplete Assignments Report

This window is to be used after the Services With Incomplete Dates menu option. It will identify the Services for the selected Report Date which have Assignments with incomplete dates. The dates that need to be filled in for each Assignment are the Begin Work Date and Time and the Ending Work Date and Time. The Billable Hours field must also be filled in if the Transfer to Payroll box is checked or if the Hours radio button on the Use for Billing field is selected.

These services can be edited from this window. When there are no more listings on this window, then all of the Assignments have been properly completed by the Dispatcher. These Shipments will then be ready for the Billing department.
