ATS Dispatch Pro: The First Release Was Only the Beginning (Patreon)

ATS Dispatch Pro Is Evolving Into a Complete Platform
Over the past week, I've been working around the clock to clean up, rebuild, and improve ATS Dispatch Pro.
The first release was never meant to be the finished product—it was simply the beginning of something much bigger.
Launching that initial version allowed me to put the plugin into the hands of real players, see how it performed across different systems, identify issues that needed attention, and most importantly, gather feedback directly from the community.
While there's still plenty left to build, the vision for ATS Dispatch Pro has already grown far beyond what I originally planned.
Why I Built a Standalone Platform
One of my original goals was to integrate ATS Dispatch Pro with Trucky. After spending time researching what was possible, I realized the level of integration I wanted simply wasn't achievable.
Rather than compromise the experience or settle for limitations, I made the decision to build the entire platform myself.
That decision led to the creation of the new ATS Dispatch Pro website, designed to work directly alongside the desktop plugin and serve as the foundation for everything moving forward.
Explore the ATS Dispatch Pro Website
The website is now available as a preview of what I've been building behind the scenes.
Feel free to explore the platform, browse the new features, and get an early look at where ATS Dispatch Pro is headed.
At the moment, new account registration is temporarily disabled while I finish integrating the latest plugin update, complete account synchronization, and perform final testing to ensure everything works seamlessly.
Registration will officially reopen alongside the next ATS Dispatch Pro update.
Until then, you're welcome to explore the site and see what's coming.
Built From Community Feedback
The feedback from the first release didn't go unnoticed.
I wasn't willing to leave ATS Dispatch Pro in the state it launched.
Every bug report, setup issue, suggestion, and feature request has directly influenced the next version.
Over the past week, my focus has been on:
Improving overall plugin stability
Rebuilding the setup and installation process
Fixing directory detection issues
Cleaning up and redesigning the interface
Developing the new ATS Dispatch Pro website
Strengthening account security
Improving plugin and website synchronization
Optimizing account management
Expanding backend infrastructure for future features
At the same time, I've been laying the groundwork for several major additions, including:
Driver Career Tracking
Live Driver Dashboard
Public Driver Profiles
Job Builder
Shared Dispatch System
Company & VTC Management
Live Fleet Tracking
Career Statistics
Cloud Synchronization
Some of these systems will continue to evolve after the next release.
ATS Dispatch Pro has become a much larger project than originally planned, and my priority is building a strong, scalable foundation that can continue growing without needing to be rebuilt every time a new feature is introduced.
What Happens Next?
The website will remain online as a preview while development continues.
New account registration will stay temporarily disabled until the next plugin update is ready.
When registration reopens, users will be able to:
Create persistent driver profiles
Connect the desktop plugin to their account
Track their driving careers
Build custom dispatch jobs
Create and manage VTCs
Join company dispatch boards
View live fleet information
Access career statistics and delivery history
Sync progress between the plugin and website
This update represents much more than bug fixes.
It marks the transition of ATS Dispatch Pro from a standalone desktop plugin into a connected dispatch platform built specifically for the American Truck Simulator community.
Thank You
I want to thank everyone who downloaded the first version, tested it, reported bugs, suggested improvements, and continued supporting the project.
Your feedback has shaped every improvement that's gone into this update.
The first release introduced the idea.
The next release begins bringing the full vision of ATS Dispatch Pro to life.
This is only the beginning, and there's much more to come.
