Success Story
“Tenna’s Resource Management has been a good tool for us. We’re able to look at the screen and see exactly what equipment is on each job and if it’s being utilized. We set up all the geofences, and now you can grab an asset and drag it to another job, and it will create a dispatch.”
Why Digitize Your Whiteboard?
Construction dispatch activities often starts with a dry erase or magnet board, spreadsheet, scribbled names in a binder, project codes, and a mess of sticky notes. These outdated systems offer no real-time visibility, confirmation, audit trail, or integration with other tools.
Now, with Tenna, your dispatchers can manage requests, fulfill equipment and resource needs, and assign assets using a clean, digital interface.
Field teams can see their assignments in real time. They also get automatic updates when plans change. This reduces confusion and improves productivity.

How Tenna’s Scheduling and Dispatch Software Works
1. Field Request Initiation
Jobsite teams enter requests for equipment, labor, or materials through the Tenna platform via the app or desktop. These requests are standardized and timestamped, eliminating informal texts and phone calls.
2. Dispatcher Coordination
Equipment, fleet, and logistics managers receive real-time requests and view available resources via the digital dispatch board. Users can create assignments via drag-and-drop and filter them by project, location, type, and more.
3. Instant Communication
When an assignment is created or modified, the platform automatically notifies the requestor, assigned operator, or driver accordingly. Everyone stays on the same page with all dispatch events, reducing delays and miscommunication.
4. Labor Management
Add laborer resources to Tenna who can be dispatched to jobsites for a specific task, assigned to move or operate equipment. Create and dispatch individual laborers and crews so you can easily schedule and manage your field resources.
5. Execution and Visibility
Field teams can see scheduled assignments and dispatch status—whether it’s a crew appearing or a dozer arriving. Completed dispatches are logged for record-keeping and performance review.
