Dispatcher Journey

Role: Assigns and manages orders to operators, coordinates fleet
Org: Kaya Sync (platform-wide) OR Client organisation (own org only)
Scope:

  • Kaya Sync Dispatcher, sees all organisations, all orders, all operators
  • Client Dispatcher, restricted to their own organisation's orders and fleet

Preconditions

  • Account created by System Admin with Dispatcher role
  • Scope configured (platform-wide or org-restricted)

1. Order Queue Management

Step 1.1: Monitor Incoming Orders

  • Dispatcher views all orders in ReadyForDispatch state
  • Filters available by: corridor, origin, destination cluster, container count, priority
  • Orders only appear in queue after all containers have passed origin scan

Step 1.2: Review Order Details

For each order, Dispatcher can see:

  • Order ID, origin, destination cluster
  • Container count and packaging types
  • Designee phone numbers (masked for privacy)
  • Integrity assessment results from origin scan
  • Time in queue (SLA visibility)

Step 1.3: Prioritise Orders

  • Dispatcher can flag high-priority orders (e.g. perishables, SLA-bound)
  • Urgent orders surfaced at the top of the queue

2. Operator Assignment

Step 2.1: View Available Operators

Dispatcher sees operators who are:

  • Status ACTIVE
  • Have a valid SOD attestation (Valid state)
  • Are in or near the origin corridor
  • Have sufficient remaining capacity (from telemetry heartbeat)

Step 2.2: Assign Order to Operator

  • Dispatcher selects operator and assigns the order
  • System validates:
    • Operator has valid attestation (BR-09)
    • Operator's capacity is sufficient for the container load
    • Operator is within service area
  • Container state: OriginVerifiedInCustody
  • Operator notified via SMS/Push

Step 2.3: Multi-Operator Dispatch (split loads)

  • For large orders, Dispatcher may split containers across multiple operators
  • Each operator assigned a subset of containers
  • All subsets must complete origin → delivery for order to reach Completed

3. Fleet Tracking

Step 3.1: Real-Time Operator Telemetry

  • Dispatcher views live map of active operators (sourced from telemetry heartbeats)
  • Visible data per operator:
    • GPS position, heading, speed
    • Remaining capacity
    • Destination intent
    • Active container assignments
    • Current order state

Step 3.2: Monitor Order Progress

  • Dispatcher tracks each order through its states:
    • ReadyForDispatchInTransitDeliveredCompleted
  • Alerts raised for:
    • Orders stuck in InTransit beyond expected transit time
    • Integrity holds raised mid-journey
    • Operators deviating from expected corridor

Step 3.3: Identify and Escalate Issues

  • Dispatcher escalates to Internal Ops Supervisor when:
    • Integrity hold is raised on an active order
    • Operator goes offline mid-delivery
    • Designee is unreachable (OTP delivery failure)
    • Unusual GPS deviation detected

4. Aggregation / Disaggregation Management

Step 4.1: Review Optimisation Recommendations

  • System surfaces aggregation/disaggregation recommendations to Dispatcher
  • Each recommendation includes:
    • Play type: AGGREGATION or DISAGGREGATION
    • Score: CarbonSaved − RiskPenalty − FrictionPenalty
    • Estimated carbon saving (kgCO₂e)
    • Recommended handoff point (name + GPS)
    • Counterparty operator ID

Step 4.2: Approve or Reject Play (Phase 1)

  • In Phase 1, plays require human approval before execution
  • Dispatcher reviews and approves or rejects
  • Approved play creates a custody transfer between the two operators
  • Automation of plays is enabled only after corridor confidence thresholds are met

Step 4.3: Monitor Play Execution

  • Dispatcher monitors dual-scan completion for the play's handoff
  • If receive scan fails or integrity hold is raised, Dispatcher escalates

5. Reporting

  • Dispatcher can view:
    • Orders completed per day/corridor
    • Average transit times
    • Integrity hold rates
    • Operator utilisation
    • Aggregation play acceptance rates and carbon savings

Edge Cases

ScenarioBehaviour
No eligible operators in corridorOrder stays in ReadyForDispatch; Dispatcher manually seeks operator or escalates
Assigned operator's attestation expires mid-journeyActive order continues; operator cannot be assigned new loads until re-attested
Recommended play score is below thresholdPlay not surfaced to Dispatcher (filtered by MIN_OPTIMISATION_SCORE policy)
Client Dispatcher tries to view another org's ordersAccess denied, scope enforced at API level
