Moreover, all events can be filtered by hundreds of different parameters so that you can effortlessly find any type of activity among hundreds of thousands of logged actions with just the touch of a button. To make sure that you can capture as much actionable intelligence as possible, the Activity Stream records and stores the actions performed using the Route4Me Web PlatformRoute4Me iPhone Route Planner, and Route4Me Android Route Planner. You can use the Activity Stream for auditing the performance of your team, generating reports, detecting fraudulent activities, checking the overall health of your business, and much more.

For more convenience, you can also filter all events in your Activity Stream by thousands of different parameters. First, you can filter all activities by the keywords that should be contained in the associated data or actions. For example, if you input the keyword “Visited” into the search, the results will display all activities where this keyword is present. Thus, you can filter all activities by the name of a particular route, associated team member, alias of a specific route destination, etc.
