A dispatcher's phone at a transport company rings for more than trips. A driver asks how to fill in box 24 of a CMR, what to do if customs stopped them, which number to call after an accident in Germany, when a particular warehouse accepts cargo, how to submit DKV receipts. The answers are in company instructions in SharePoint, in the driver handbook, in the trip card in CargoWise and in the dispatcher's head, but a driver on the road will not read a thirty-page PDF and has no access to CargoWise. The dispatcher gives the same answer for the tenth time, and when they are busy, the driver decides alone, not always the way the company would want.
The assistant works in Teams, which drivers have on their phones. It answers questions about procedure from your documents in SharePoint: the driver handbook, CMR filling instructions, accident procedures, border procedures, warehouse rules and the contact list, with a link to the document and section. It answers questions about the driver's own trip, such as loading time, unloading address and order number, from CargoWise data that it receives through an API or an export, only for the trip assigned to that driver; if you have Teltonika telematics, it can also check the estimated arrival time. When a question is about a change or a decision, the assistant does not answer at its own discretion but hands the conversation to the dispatcher in Teams with a summary. We deploy a Copilot Studio agent in your Microsoft 365 tenant: documents stay in SharePoint, access rights are inherited from the existing ones, and we integrate with CargoWise through an API, a file export or an email flow, depending on the version. When an instruction in SharePoint is updated, the assistant answers from the new version.
