Vehicle Groups
Isolate assigned fleets on the dispatch map so dispatchers focus on their territory
With Vehicle Groups,
The Dispatcher can
filter the fleet map by vehicle group
so they can
focus on specific territories
— resulting in faster dispatcher response times.
The Problem
The Core Problem
Dispatchers managing large fleets waste time filtering through vehicles that are not theirs, slowing response times and creating cross-team interference.
The Scenario
A large provider has 60 vehicles split across 3 dispatch teams: north region, south region, and dedicated broker fleet. The dispatch map shows all 60 vehicles at once, creating visual overload.
Why It's Urgent
When a dispatcher responsible for the north region sees 60 pins on the map, finding their 20 vehicles takes constant mental filtering. During emergencies or live reroutes, every second of searching the map delays the response.
Without MediRoutes
Use colored pins for different groups. This helps but still requires scanning the entire map. With 60 vehicles, the colors blend together.
With MediRoutes
Vehicle Groups let each dispatcher filter the map to show only their assigned fleet. North dispatcher sees 20 vehicles. South sees 20. Broker team sees 20. Each group can have separate performance metrics and alerts.
Who This Helps
The Dispatcher
Manages 20 vehicles in a specific region but the map shows all 60. Needs to filter out the noise to focus on their territory.
The Fleet Owner
Operates multiple dispatch teams and needs each team to work independently without stepping on each other.
How It Works
Each step shows what happens when things go right — and what MediRoutes does when they don't.

Common Questions
Yes. A vehicle can be in multiple groups if needed u2014 for example, belonging to both a regional group and a vehicle type group. Dispatchers can filter by any group.
Vehicle Groups are primarily a dispatch and visibility tool. AutoSchedule can be configured to respect group boundaries or to optimize across the full fleet, depending on your operational preference.
Yes. Alert thresholds can be configured per group u2014 for example, the broker fleet may have tighter on-time requirements than the general fleet. Each dispatcher only receives alerts for their assigned group.
