HOW ACTIVEROUTE DISPATCH WORKS

A Single Dispatch System That Runs Your Entire Fleet

1
Automated Trip Management

Most NEMT dispatchers start every morning matching trips to drivers by hand cross-referencing vehicle type, driver availability, and pickup locations one trip at a time. It’s exhausting, error-prone, and completely unnecessary. ActiveRoute’s dispatch engine matches every incoming trip to the nearest available driver automatically, based on vehicle type ambulatory, wheelchair, or stretcher and sends an instant notification to their app. Assignments that used to take two hours get done in seconds.

Real-Time Driver Tracking

Knowing where your drivers are at every moment isn’t a luxury, it’s the backbone of reliable dispatch. When a patient calls asking where their ride is, your dispatcher needs an answer in seconds, not minutes of phone tag. ActiveRoute gives your dispatch team a live map view of every active driver on the road, with real-time location updates and accurate ETAs recalculating automatically as traffic conditions change.

Instant Driver Alerts

The moment a trip is assigned or updated, the driver needs to know immediately not five minutes later when a dispatcher remembers to call. ActiveRoute sends an instant mobile app notification to the assigned driver the second a trip hits their queue, including pickup time, location, and patient details. No phone calls, no missed assignments, no delays.

Common Questions About ActiveRoute Dispatch & Scheduling

ActiveRoute's dispatch engine evaluates every incoming trip in real time checking required vehicle type, driver availability, and proximity to the pickup location — and surfaces the best driver match automatically. Your dispatcher reviews and approves the assignment with one click, rather than manually checking availability trip by trip.

Yes. Every trip in ActiveRoute is routed through Google Maps with live traffic data integrated in real time.

Drivers receive turn-by-turn Google Maps navigation directly inside their mobile app.

When a new trip request enters the system, ActiveRoute's dispatch engine automatically evaluates three things simultaneously — the vehicle type required for the trip, which drivers are currently available in that time window, and which of those drivers is geographically closest to the pickup location. The engine then surfaces a suggested assignment for your dispatcher to review and approve with one click. The driver is notified instantly on their mobile app.

Yes. ActiveRoute's automated dispatch engine distinguishes between ambulatory, wheelchair, and stretcher trips and only suggests drivers whose vehicles match the trip's requirement.
