Plan the day
Plan the day's crews, machines and trucks on one board, then publish it. Daily Dispatch is where the office builds the day: every project with its crew, equipment, company trucks and broker trucks. Publish it when it's ready, and publish an update when the plan changes. The people affected get an in-app notification.
Problems solved
Tomorrow's assignments get built on a whiteboard or a spreadsheet, then read out over the phone. Whoever missed the call shows up at the wrong job.
A weather call moves the first load, or a truck breaks down. Some people hear about it, some don't, and the paver waits.
After two changes, the dispatcher, the foreman and the broker each have a different version of the day. Sorting it out costs the morning.
What it does
In plain terms. Your version of STRACTA is shaped around how your team works, so bring your own workflow to the demo.
Each project gets a card for the day with its crew, equipment and fleet, and broker trucks. Every project sits on one board, so you see the whole day before anyone leaves the yard.
Say it out loud or type it in a sentence. STRACTA creates the crew assignment for you, filled in and ready to review.
Operations manager says
“Assign Marco's crew and paver PV-03 to Harborview Corridor tomorrow, on site at 7.”

Harborview Corridor · Wed, Jun 17
Added to tomorrow's dispatch
Build the plan as a draft. When it's right, publish it, and the people on it see their assignment in My Day.
Edit an assignment after publishing, then publish an update. Each update becomes a new revision, so it's clear which plan is current.
When you publish an update, the affected users get an in-app notification. The change reaches the people it applies to, inside STRACTA.
Workflow
Daily Dispatch on one working day, step by step.
Reviews four project cards, from Harborview Corridor to Bellwether Pointe, and publishes revision 1: 24 people, 12 pieces of equipment and 10 broker trucks.
Opens My Day for Harborview Corridor: crew on site at 7:00 AM, first load at 9:30 AM, 320 t of HL3 planned. He acknowledges at 6:12 AM.
Reports broker truck BT-02 down at the paver. The hoist hose failed and the loaded box won't raise.
Removes BT-02, moves BT-08 over from Ridgeline Road and publishes revision 2. Marco D. and Frank O. get an in-app notification.
Who uses it
What each person sees follows their role and the permissions your company sets.
