Calendar View

Visualize the entire daily schedule on one screen to spot availability gaps and overbooking

With Calendar View, The Dispatcher can see the full daily schedule visually so they can spot gaps and conflicts — resulting in faster booking decisions.

The Problem

The Core Problem
List-based scheduling hides availability gaps and makes it slow to place new trips, wasting vehicle capacity.
The Scenario
A dispatcher handling 30 vehicles and 250 trips per day uses a list view to manage the schedule. When a new trip request comes in, they scroll through vehicle schedules trying to find an open slot.
Why It's Urgent
List views hide temporal relationships. A dispatcher cannot see at a glance which vehicles have 30-minute gaps at 2 PM. Overbooking and gaps both cost money — overbooking causes late pickups while gaps mean idle vehicles.
Without MediRoutes
Print the schedule and highlight gaps with a marker. Or switch between individual vehicle views one at a time. Both approaches are slow and miss the big picture.
With MediRoutes
Calendar View shows all vehicles as horizontal timelines on one screen. Gaps appear as empty blocks, overbookings appear as overlaps, and new trips can be drag-dropped into open slots.

Who This Helps

The Dispatcher
Needs to quickly find open vehicle slots when a new trip comes in, without scrolling through lists.
Frustrations
  • List view hides the shape of the day
  • Cannot see which vehicles have open time
  • Scrolling through 30 vehicle schedules to find a slot takes minutes
Pain Points
  • New trip placement takes 3 to 5 minutes of searching
  • Gaps go unfilled because they are invisible in list view
Ideal Workflow
Glance at the calendar, see open slots instantly, drop the new trip in with one click
