How these features work together
Operations features are designed to work as a single flow:
Bookings define the work to be done
Dispatch assigns and manages that work in real time
Vehicles provide the execution capacity
Together, they form the operational backbone of ICOS TMS, ensuring work moves smoothly from planning to completion.
