3Dtracking announced that the company has enhanced the dispatching module in its telematics service platform with new visualization and analysis tools for optimizing routes.
The dispatching module in the 3Dtracking telematics service platform provides fleet managers with the framework for planning and monitoring the progress of dispatch orders.
The 3Dtracking platform now includes visualization and analysis tools for optimizing routes and managing costs. These new optimization tools allow fleet managers to define real-world operating costs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, resulting in multi-vehicle planning schedules that achieve the lowest cost-of-completion. For each planned dispatching order, the 3Dtracking platform maps and displays the optimal route taking into consideration travel requirements, such as distance, planned stops, fuel consumption, time, and vehicle characteristics and capacities.
Real-time monitoring of dispatching orders and configurable alerts are also now available in the dispatching module of the 3Dtracking platform. These alerts can be used to notify fleet managers on the progress of a dispatching order and specific events, such as an early arrival, late departure, or aborted journey.
“Being able to optimize delivery schedules for an entire fleet based on highly granular details and then monitor real-time performance against a planned schedule allows fleet managers to minimize costs and remove much uncertainty from the operations of their fleets or vehicles,” said Roydon Michael, head of business development, 3Dtracking.
For telematics service providers using a white labelled version of the 3Dtracking platform, these order dispatching and route optimization enhancements can be leveraged as competitive strengths to differentiate their fleet management service offerings. Telematics service providers can also use these enhancements to better serve their customers and offer a value-added service for route optimization.
