SatROUTE™: a system for planning, monitoring and managing routes and work tasks - optimized and efficient routes in just 30 seconds

How the SatROUTE™ system works

The SatROUTE™ system automatically generates efficient and optimized routes that allow the company to accurately plan and serve all its customers according to specific time frames, to reduce travel time, save fuel and provide sufficient breaks for drivers.

Finding the right type of route is not and will never be a one-size-fits-all process as it depends on a variety of factors. In this constantly iterative process, the user will find a balance between customer needs, transport costs and travel time with the help of different types of optimizations:

1. Comparative route planner: planned vs. actual route - visual comparison of GPS device movements and optimized planned routes on an interactive map.

2. Automatic route planner: the system generates an optimized route based on activities from a database collected with the help of GPS devices (eg locations of interest, stopping or rest points, ...).

3. Custom route planner - the dispatcher manually generates his own route and mode of travel by selecting two or more locations on the interactive map. The current location of the GPS device can be chosen as the starting point of the route.

Savings with the most innovative solutions for transport management

SatROUTE™ allows the user to strategically prepare in advance and dynamically generate optimal, efficient and balanced routes for the appropriate delivery days using points of interest, rest or stopover points recorded based on database activity.

With the right route optimization strategy, it is possible to create customized daily, weekly, monthly and yearly route scheduling rules creating an efficient fleet management system that will increase productivity.

The SatROUTE™ system, through its advanced services and innovative solutions for transportation management, allows users to plan and tour routes, collect data in real time and analyze that data.

SatROUTE™ mobile app

Dispatchers and drivers also have at their disposal a mobile application that enables an overview of all assigned work tasks/locations, with a planned visit time and regular information updates, then a map display of the assigned optimized route, navigation to the selected location, as well as printing of work tasks on the spot via thermal printer.

The mobile app SatROUTE™ enables in the SatDROID_PRO version:

• Overview of all assigned work tasks/locations:

• name of the work tasd
• scheduled visit time
• visit time (automatically recorded and updated)
• updating information about the work task (eg cause of delay, change of destination, etc.) which is immediately available to the dispatcher
• visit duration (time spent at the location of the work task)
• task status (visited/not visited)

• Display on the map of the assigned optimized route with all assigned work tasks displayed on the map (highlighted locations: green visited/unvisited red).

• Navigation to a specific work task, navigation from the current phone/user location to the selected work task, or navigation to all unvisited tasks.

• On-site printing of work assignments via thermal printer.
