Eyes on the Road, Hands on the Wheel: Introducing the Otto Hands-Free Driver App
Published on January 9, 2026 | By DispatchMVP Team
The biggest safety risk in trucking today isn't just the road—it's the distraction in the cab. For years, drivers have had to toggle between GPS, ELDs, and TMS apps to update their status. Today, we are changing the game.
Otto Goes Mobile
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the DispatchMVP Hands-Free Driver App. Powered by our proprietary AI assistant, Otto, this new mobile experience allows drivers to manage their entire workflow using only their voice.
Seamless Workflow: Drivers can now check in at a receiver, update their odometer, or upload a BOL simply by speaking to the app. No more pulling over to click through menus or risking safety by handling a device while in motion.
True Transactional Voice for the Road
Unlike basic voice-to-text apps, Otto understands the context of the haul. When a driver says, "Otto, I've arrived at the shipper," the system automatically:
- Geofences the location to verify arrival.
- Updates the dispatcher's dashboard in real-time.
- Prompts the driver for the next necessary action, such as "Ready to start loading?"
By bringing our transactional voice technology from the dispatch desk directly into the cab, we are creating a safer, faster, and more efficient environment for the backbone of our industry—the drivers.
Talk to Your TMS: The Rise of Voice-Activated Dispatch
Published on December 17, 2025 | By DispatchMVP Team
In the fast-paced world of logistics, every second counts. Traditionally, dispatchers and drivers have been tethered to screens, keyboards, and manual data entry. But what if you could manage your entire fleet just by speaking?
The Transactional Voice Revolution
While many TMS platforms offer "automation," there is a significant difference between a system that shows you data and a system that listens to your instructions. DispatchMVP is leading the charge as the industry's only TMS that allows for full transactional voice commands to update your database in real-time.
Meet Otto: Your AI-powered voice assistant. Otto doesn't just search; he executes. Whether you need to assign a driver to a load or update a delivery status, Otto handles the heavy lifting while your hands stay on the wheel or your eyes stay on the big picture.
Why Hands-Free Matters
Efficiency is the obvious benefit, but the advantages go much deeper:
- Unmatched Safety: Drivers can update their status without ever touching a tablet or phone, ensuring compliance and focus on the road.
- Eliminate Data Latency: No more waiting until the end of the shift to log updates. Dispatchers can change load assignments mid-conversation.
- Reduced Burnout: By removing the "click-heavy" nature of traditional TMS software, your team can focus on solving problems rather than filling out forms.
Bridging the Gap Between Man and Machine
Most systems like PCS or Trimble are excellent at data retrieval, but they often require manual input to change that data. DispatchMVP bridges this gap. By allowing voice commands to actually write to the database, we’ve created a conversational workflow that mirrors how humans actually work.
Imagine saying, "Otto, mark Load #4502 as delivered and assign Driver Smith to the next available backhaul," and having it happen instantly. That isn't the future—that is DispatchMVP today.
