An example prompt for a fleet dispatch app

Build a dispatch board for a local courier company. It needs: operators, depots and customers, dispatcher, driver and customer roles, shipments and stops, dispatch and assignment, driver status events and proof of delivery and location tracking with privacy limits. Rule that must always hold: phase 1 gives dispatchers a board, capacity checks and ETA estimates; a VRP solver arrives in phase 2 on the same route tables. Leave out for now: no autonomous route optimisation or load planning in phase 1 and no certified tachograph, ELD or safety functions.

Replace the first sentence with your own idea. The list of needs stays useful whatever the niche, because it comes from what a fleet dispatch app has to do.

• Build a delivery tracking app with proof of delivery for a furniture retailer. Start with operators, depots and customers and dispatcher, driver and customer roles, and add shipments and stops once those work.
• Build a fleet maintenance and driver app for a plumbing business. People should be able to assign stops to driver-vehicle pairs and sequence them against capacity and hours.

Forge AI picks a reference architecture from how you describe the app. These phrases point to a fleet dispatch app: fleet management, dispatch, last mile delivery, last-mile, route planning, logistics platform, tms and transport management.

• Manual sequencing with computed ETAs before an optimiser.
• Offline-first driver events with client ids.
• Short raw ping retention with downsampled tracks.

This is a reference design for the category, not a promise that every item is generated today. Built-ins such as background jobs, file uploads and search are rolling out; email sent from your app is coming soon, so anything here that needs it is something you add yourself for now.

• Vehicle routing solver (VRP) as a batch service: manual sequencing is enough at launch and a solver adds a runtime to operate.
• Native driver app with background location: web app foreground tracking suffices for pilots.
• Telematics device integration: per-vendor protocols.
• Time-series store for pings: partitioned Postgres is enough at launch volume.

How detailed should a prompt for a fleet dispatch app be?

Name the users, the main objects, one rule that must always hold and one thing to leave out. The plan fills in the rest, and you can change it before generation.

Which words tell Forge64 this is a fleet dispatch app?

Phrases such as fleet management, dispatch, last mile delivery and last-mile point to this category.

Can I change the app after the first build?

Yes. Describe the change in plain English and Forge AI edits the app; the quality gate checks the code again.
