The company says the module gives fleet managers the framework for planning and monitoring the progress of dispatch orders.
New visualization and analysis tools help fleet managers to optimize routes by defining 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. The 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 at 3Dtracking.
