Most funeral homes and mortuary transport dispatching services use a whiteboard and/or pen & paper to record information for their removals. To pass it on to their drivers (employees or subcontractors), they then either call, text, or email them the relevant information. This often results in miscommunication and errors in data transfer, and the location of drivers is exclusively self-recorded.

The Styx Logistics Dispatching Company Solution
The Styx Logistics CMS & Logistics Apps (Dispatcher and Driver versions) allow dispatchers at mortuary transport services to easily input basic removals information, empowering you to assign and track drivers from the initial removal to drop-off at the funeral home or crematory, while archiving key data like odometer readings for taxes.
Plus, we offer dispatching companies a handy Job Entry Tool – JET (smartphone App or website interface), branded with the logo of your dispatching company, which can be provided as a premium utility to funeral home clients so they can feed you the key dispatching data directly themselves. No more copying texts or emails and then forwarding them on to your drivers.
“By using the Styx Dispatcher Logistics apps, we’ve automated the entire dispatching and removal process, minimizing data entry errors, while saving us both time and money. There’s nothing like them in the business. Styx is the Uber of death-tech. We’ve cut costs by 20% and data entry errors by more than 90%. I can literally manage an entire job through the apps, from dispatch to drop-off, while keeping track of odometer readouts for tax purposes, and maintaining a digital record of every dispatch. Styx even provided me with a free app I give to my funeral home customers so that they can input all the removal data themselves, and pass it to me automatically. We’re never going back to the old way.“
