Main Features
The Route system is built around two primary interfaces: the Route Web Application, which serves as the central hub for managing routes, job orders, points, and system settings, and the Driver Mobile App, which empowers drivers to access assigned tasks, monitor operations in real-time, and report incidents.
The following features represent the core functionalities of the system:
- Route: A path through specific stops (geofences, customers, or warehouses). Users can create new points, manually order stops, or optimize routes based on distance or time.
- Job Order: Assigns vehicles and drivers to jobs. Users can use predefined routes or create new ones, optimize routes, and schedule operations.
- Plan: Schedule repetitive job orders to specific dates and times, ensuring efficient allocation of resources and timely execution of tasks.
- Reports: Generate detailed reports to document unit movements, driver performance, and operational deliverables. These reports provide insights into efficiency, compliance, and overall operational success.
