Contain loading and unloading delays before they disrupt later stops.
Atlato watches dwell time and route progress, recalculates the downstream risk and starts the approved response before the delay spreads.
For truckload carriers, regional transport operators, dispatch and customer-service teams managing multi-stop schedules
Detention pushes the next pickup or delivery at risk.
A truck can remain at one facility beyond its planned departure time while the rest of the route continues to depend on that vehicle. Operations staff must confirm the cause and release time, recalculate later ETAs, contact the next sites and decide whether work must be reassigned.
One late dock can create a chain of missed appointments.
The longer the delay remains unmanaged, the less time dispatch has to protect later collections, deliveries, driver hours and customer commitments.
How Atlato runs it.
Atlato acts as a 24/7 digital operations assistant. It watches dwell time and route progress, gets the latest status from the driver and facility, recalculates the downstream risk and starts the approved response before the delay spreads.
Connects to your existing systems
Connects the TMS, GPS and telematics, dock appointments, ELD, customer records and communication channels so planned and actual arrival, departure and downstream commitments can be managed together.
Monitors and takes action 24/7
Compares the appointment, arrival, geofence dwell, loading status and planned departure. When a threshold is reached, it contacts the driver and facility, obtains a release estimate, recalculates later ETAs and begins the approved update or reassignment workflow.
Follows your policies and compliance requirements
Applies your detention thresholds, customer-notification rules, Hours-of-Service limits, appointment priorities, service commitments and escalation paths.
Brings people in when approval is needed
Escalates vehicle reassignment, appointment changes, priority decisions, customer concessions and other exceptions to the authorised dispatcher or manager.
Gives every person a personal digital assistant
Gives dispatch the affected stops and options, the driver clear next instructions, customer service approved updates and managers only the decisions that require judgement.
Maintains a complete, audit-ready history
Records the arrival, dwell time, facility and driver contacts, release estimate, ETA changes, reassignment, approvals, customer updates and final outcome.
