Forklift Dispatch System: Digital Driving Order Planning for Your Fleet

The forklift dispatch system from Peakboard is the control point for the forklift fleet. A transport job is created here in a few entries and goes out to the fleet. The list shows what's still open and who is already on the way. What has been completed this week sits in a second view. And when a driver reports a fault, it gets ticked off in the problem overview as soon as it's fixed.

  • Up and running fast
  • Low IT Effort
  • 100% On-Premises
Peakboard forklift dispatch system for planning and assigning driving orders across the forklift fleet.
Over 300 industrial companies from the DACH region and the USA trust Peakboard

When assigning jobs in the warehouse

– without Peakboard

Transport jobs get handed out by word of mouth or on slips of paper.

It's unclear which jobs are already done or still open.

Reported issues get lost or forgotten.

Forklift dispatch system with Peakboard

The forklift dispatch system brings driving order planning and issue reporting together in one application. There's also the forklift terminal – a companion interactive app that lets drivers accept jobs and report issues directly from the forklift.

How do I plan driving orders for my forklifts with Peakboard?

You create new driving orders directly in the system and assign them to your fleet. All currently open jobs appear in one overview, and completed jobs for the week can be reviewed to track progress.

How are reported issues captured?

Drivers report issues directly from their application. You see all reported problems in one overview and can mark them as resolved once they're fixed.

What data sources does the forklift dispatch system use?

Master and transaction data come from Peakboard Hub lists by default. Alternatively, this data can also come from one or more databases.

Is there an application for the forklift itself?

Yes. Alongside the planning view, there's the forklift terminal, which drivers use directly on the forklift to accept jobs and report issues.

Can I customise the dispatch system myself, without IT?

Yes. Peakboard is a low-code platform: you change fields, lists and display logic by drag-and-drop in the Peakboard Designer.

Does the forklift dispatch system run on-premises or in the cloud?

Peakboard runs entirely on-premises on your own network – job data never leaves the company. There's no cloud requirement and no dependency on US-based infrastructure providers – 100% GDPR-compliant.
