Action Rail
A horizontally scrollable row of alert cards. Each card shows a priority level, a message, and a direct action button.
| Priority | Trigger examples |
|---|---|
| Critical — red border | Trip bidding closes within 24 hours, contract overdue |
| High — amber border | Bidding closes in 2–3 days, contract needs signature soon |
| Medium — yellow border | General reminders, informational nudges |
When no alerts exist, a green "All clear" banner is shown instead.
Trip Pipeline Chart
Bar or donut chart showing trip count by status.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| DRAFT | Created but not yet posted for bids |
| ACTIVE | Live — accepting bids |
| SELECTED | Operator chosen, awaiting contract |
| BOOKED | Contract signed, trip confirmed |
| CANCELLED | Trip cancelled |
Bids Per Trip Chart
Bar chart with one bar per active trip showing how many bids each has received. An average reference line is overlaid across all bars. Helps identify trips with low bid interest that may need attention.
Spend Trend Chart
Area chart showing total booked contract value per month for the last 6 months. Useful for tracking how monthly spend is trending over time.
Upcoming Departures
List of trips departing within the next 30 days, sorted by departure date. Shows trip name, departure date, and current status.
Pending Signatures
Table of contracts that have been issued but not yet signed by you. Columns include trip name, operator name, contract date, and a direct link to the contract.
Quick access
Clicking the Pending Signatures KPI card scrolls directly to this section.
Top Operators
Ranked list of the top 6 bus operators by number of contracts awarded. Useful for identifying your most-used operator relationships.
Activity Feed
Chronological timeline of recent events across your trips and contracts — bid submissions, contract awards, signings, cancellations, and more. Provides a running audit trail without navigating to individual trips.
Post Trip Button
A floating action button fixed to the bottom-right of the screen. Click it to navigate to the new trip form and post a trip.
