Cario Connect TMS — Driver Assignment (Dynamic Runs) 

Dynamic Runs allow drivers to create, manage, and progress runs directly from the Cario Connect mobile app, without a dispatcher pre-allocating consignments in the FMS. This is ideal for courier-style operations, ad-hoc pickups, and flexible delivery workflows. 

Overview: What Are Dynamic Runs? 

Dynamic Runs are created and managed by drivers using the Cario Connect App. Instead of being pre-built in the FMS: 

• Drivers scan consignments on board 

• Create a run directly from the app 

• Reorder drops dynamically 

• Update delivery events in real time 

• Runs automatically sync back to Cario FMS 

 

Prerequisites 

Before using Dynamic Runs, ensure: 

• The driver is created and invited in Administration → Drivers/Vehicles 
• The driver has logged into the Cario Connect App 
  

• Required permissions are enabled (Camera, Location, Notifications)
