Today our special guests are the CEO of the British transport software provider Proteo Andrew Scott and front-end developer Rupert Hammond. The Proteo team has been using DHTMLX Scheduler for about five years.
We are delighted to talk to you about your experience with DHTMLX Scheduler. Could you tell us about your project and your role in it?
Andrew: I am the CEO of Proteo. We are a transport software provider. We do TMS software projects for trucking companies. We have eight or nine transporters using our system with varying fleet sizes ranging from 10 up to 380 vehicles.
The Scheduler component from DHTMLX has been an integral part of our TMS system for probably the last five years. We had to do some customizations to make it work because of the limitations of running multiple schedulers in one system and the fact that our product is based on Angular. The main use for this control is for planners that allow users to see all of the work assigned to each vehicle in a chronological timeline. We’ve done a lot of customization on the actual events, so people can add new events, drag and resize stops that trucks make.
