Activity Feed – Track Real-Time Route Activity

Route4Me’s Activity Feed is a user-friendly analytics and auditing tool that lets you monitor your team’s performance and view all events associated with your routes. View logs of when routes are planned or modified, and when destinations are marked as or detected as arrived, all in one place. Events can be filtered by different parameters to quickly find any action among thousands of logs. The Activity Feed captures actions performed on the Route4Me business route planner software, iPhone Route Planner, and Android Route Planner, allowing you to audit team performance, generate reports, and monitor overall business health.
