Command Centre
The dispatch board arranged for a wall screen — active loads, drivers, and the selected run's detail down the right.
Dispatch → Command Centre. The same board, arranged for a wall.
It is not a second screen with its own data. It is the same components in a different arrangement, with denser, darker chrome so it can be read from across a room. The portal sidebar and topbar are taken off, because a screen on a wall is not being navigated.
The layout
Section titled “The layout”| Region | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Left rail, top | Active Loads — the manifest cards, with a status-coloured accent strip. |
| Left rail, bottom | Drivers — the units, with the same availability vocabulary, two-up badge and DG badge the board uses. |
| Right, top | The stop timeline for the selected load. |
| Right, below | The dispatch editor — assigned unit, vehicle, cargo, load plan, route map, route stops. |
Selecting a load in the left rail drives the whole right-hand side.
Everything updates on the same ten-second feed as the board, so a screen left up all day stays current without anyone touching it.
What is deliberately not on it
Section titled “What is deliberately not on it”Speed, fuel, traffic-adjusted ETA, driver hours remaining, driver chat, on-time percentage and efficiency are omitted outright — not stubbed, not dashed, not drawn as an empty gauge.
None of those has a source in this system: no routing service is called anywhere in the application, and driver hours are not recorded. A control tower showing confident zeros is worse on a wall than on a laptop, because nobody standing across the room is close enough to hover the tooltip explaining that the zero is not a zero.
They will appear when there is something real behind them.
A note on the dark theme
Section titled “A note on the dark theme”The command centre forces a dark palette for its whole area. If you are building or reviewing anything that appears on it, check it here as well as on the board — a colour that reads correctly on a white page can be invisible on this one.
