• To help the dispatcher manage the tasks of the barge captains in the most efficient way possible, we provide the Actions feature in Abivin vRoute system. This feature allows the dispatchers to digitize the actual manual delivery tasks of the barge captains by shifting them onto the Mobile app, provide a solution to manage the works of the barge captains on the Web app in real-time, getting rid of the tedious manual paperwork. Each of the delivery tasks mentioned above will be represented by a resource called the Action Code
