What is Centralized Dispatching?

Centralized Dispatching in shipping is a process of managing the movement of goods or products from a central location. It involves coordinating the scheduling and routing of shipments from a central dispatch center, which communicates with various carriers, drivers, and other logistics partners to ensure that products are delivered on time and in the most cost-effective manner possible. 

Centralized Dispatching is often used by large logistics providers or shipping companies that have a large number of shipments to manage across multiple locations. By centralizing the dispatching process, these companies can optimize their shipping operations, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency.
