How to Update the Dispatching Central Contact?
Overview
The Dispatching Central contact is the 24/7 on-call contact from your company's dispatching department. Operators use it when they need to reach you at short notice, so it must always be current. Typical reasons to update it include a move of your operational headquarters, a new on-call or backup phone number, or a new dispatching email address.
You cannot edit the Dispatching Central contact on the platform. To change it, you complete Form 1 (Change of Dispatching Central Contact) and send it to the PRISMA Customer Success Team, who updates the details for you.
The Dispatching Central contact is not the same as the Dispatching contact. You manage those yourself on the platform.
How It Works
Check your current details
- Log in to PRISMA.
- Open Settings.
- Under Company Settings, click Company Information.
- Scroll to the Dispatching Central section of the Shipper Related Information card.
The section shows the Dispatching Central Address, Telephone On Call, Backup Telephone, Fax, and Email currently on record. Note which of these need to change before you fill in the form.

The Company Information page, with the notice about written changes and the Dispatching Central section highlighted.
