IN Brief:
- Connect Driver Link extends digital communication between dispatch teams and drivers.
- The tool allows one-time access to tour data without app installation or account creation.
- Soloplan is targeting faster information exchange across mixed in-house and subcontracted fleets.
Soloplan has added Connect Driver Link to CarLo 3.06, expanding the transport management platform’s ability to share trip information and capture status updates from drivers in real time.
The new function is designed to support communication with both employed and subcontracted drivers. Dispatchers can generate a one-time link that gives a driver direct access to tour data and status requests, removing the need for an app download or account registration and allowing operators to exchange information more quickly across mixed fleet models.
That approach is likely to appeal to transport businesses trying to digitalise execution without imposing another layer of onboarding on agency drivers, subcontractors, or infrequent users. The ability to access trip data through a link also offers a practical route for companies that want more consistent reporting while keeping deployment light.
The latest CarLo release points to a broader trend in transport software, where the emphasis has shifted from back-office visibility alone to execution tools that shorten the gap between planning, dispatch, and driver response. In a tighter operating environment, that gap increasingly affects service reliability as much as linehaul capacity.
