Assignment is how work and people are matched to vehicles. Used by carriers.

The model LoadSnap uses to connect jobs, drivers and vehicles.

This is a big one for the waste industry. Most systems assign work to drivers. LoadSnap assigns work to vehicles, because the vehicle is what limits the work: not every vehicle can handle ro-ros, skips or loose waste. Assigning to the vehicle means the right kit always does the right job.

You assign jobs to vehicles, then crew each vehicle with one or more people for a given date. A driver sees their work because they are crewed on that vehicle that day. Crewing one or more people matters because the crew has to match the work: a heavy bagged load may need a second person for manual handling, where a skip would not. Many businesses keep the same driver on the same vehicle day to day, so in practice it feels simple, while still respecting what each vehicle can carry.

Only people switched on to drive turn up on the board. Somebody in the office who has never been set up to drive cannot be crewed onto a wagon, which is what stops the wrong name landing on a job. If a name is missing, open Team and switch on "Drives for us" against that person.

You do this in the Fleet view, with your vehicles down one side and dates across the top. You crew each vehicle for a date and assign its jobs, and the driver app then shows each person the vehicle and jobs they are on.
