# Add a Vehicle

You can add new vehicles to Bringg by entering their details including model, license plate, associated vehicle proile, and default parking location. Add multiple vehicles, one immediately after another, and access all vehicles in one unified list. You can also create or update several vehicles at a time using APIs.

Once created, easily manage vehicles across all teams to keep records up to date, and balance teams as customer needs evolve.

For a dispatcher, the Bringg Platform makes your workload lighter by automating most typical dispatch and fulfillment processes, helping you deliver on time with great customer experience scores. Save hours by automatically preparing routes, finding available drivers, vehicles, and delivery providers.

A fulfillment center is your home base and where you prepare orders for dispatch. It might be a store, warehouse, factory, garage, or restaurant.

You can configure Bringg to automatically perform actions when drivers approach your fulfillment center. For example, you can make a driver available for AutoDispatch, or take them on and off shift, without requiring them to manually check in. These actions are called home events.

Each team has at least one fulfillment center, and each fulfillment center can have one or more service areas.
