While your fleet is out on the road, Track LogiX
lets you see GPS (Global Positioning System) data sent back to your base. You
can monitor for delays in the expected schedule, and warn
your customers, or reschedule accordingly.
Track LogiX can also be used in a retrospective mode allowing
you to view the previous day's performance played out in just
a few minutes (see a Track LogiX screen at Track LogiX
Professional).

Track LogiX and Vehicle Tracking
The logistics industry is faced with increasing demand for
greater compliance with legislation, time and cost efficiencies.
The availability of software such as Track LogiX provides logistics
services with a management tool to control costs and productivity,
improve customer service and answer all the questions in a real-time situation.
DPS can provide real-time communication between the vehicle and
driver, the customer and the operator, providing immediate comparisons
between what actually happened and what was suggested. On-board
computers capture data from many functions within the vehicle, providing
real-time information back to base, linking also with GPS giving accurate vehicle location at any time,
anywhere in the world.
Today's technology provides for better voice and data communication
with driver and customer. On-board terminals for two-way messaging,
logging information, bar-coding of products and customers' signatures,
linking directly back to Plan LogiX updating each and every route
and/or drop.
Additional benefits include linking back to the actual route schedule,
updating and amending each route and drop in real-time, thus allowing
better customer service, data connection with the host base station
and keeping the Head Office aware of the situation as well as providing
greater security for drivers.
DPS acknowledge that the configuration and method in which Track LogiX
is used will vary considerably between installations. We are fully
prepared, therefore, to develop bespoke solutions based on the Track LogiX
mapping system. It is also possible to incorporate DPS' extensive
experience of vehicle routing software. Some possibilities are...
- Find the nearest depot/garage/customer
to a vehicle, or find the nearest vehicle to a specific location.
This type of calculation can take actual roads into account, and
not simply use the 'straight-line' distance
- Calculate a vehicle's time
of arrival at its destination based upon its current location
- Calculate the best route from
a vehicle's current location to a specific place
- Provide a warning if a vehicle
deviates from a predetermined route, or is running late
- List all vehicles within
a specific travelling time from a chosen location

technical documentation of Track LogiX file structure and integration
of the system.
