Vehicles & drivers

Prepare the People and Vehicles That Can Perform the Work

Flowtlas keeps vehicles, people and crew assignments available as operational resources so planning can use recorded capacity, skills and availability.

The operational problem

The nearest vehicle is not always the right resource

A route can look efficient while assigning work to a vehicle without enough capacity or to a person without the recorded skill or availability.

Resource records make those inputs explicit before planning. Teams still remain responsible for verifying qualifications, legal requirements and current operational status.

Product capability

Resource records built for planning decisions

  1. 1

    Maintain vehicles

    Record the base and capacity information required by the planning setup.

  2. 2

    Maintain people

    Add relevant skills, working limits and unavailable periods.

  3. 3

    Prepare crews

    Connect the people and vehicles intended to work together.

  4. 4

    Choose the tours and resources available for the planning period.

Operational benefits

Benefits of structured operational resources

  • Clear planning eligibility
  • Capacity visible before calculation
  • Recorded absences and maintenance
  • Reusable crew and vehicle context

In practice

Example: a technician van and qualified crew

A service visit requires a recorded electrical skill and equipment carried by a particular van class. The planner prepares an eligible crew and vehicle before calculation.

Flowtlas can use the supplied records during planning, but those records do not independently certify a qualification or grant application access.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are drivers and app users the same record?

Not necessarily. A person assigned to operational work does not automatically receive workspace access.

Can vehicles have different capacities?

Yes. Supported capacity dimensions can differ by vehicle when the planning data uses consistent units.

Does Flowtlas verify professional qualifications?

No. Skill records support eligibility rules but do not replace legal or professional verification.
