Activity Feed – Track Real-Time Route Activity
Route4Me’s Activity Feed is a user-friendly and informative analytics and auditing tool. The Activity Feed enables you to assess and audit the performance of your entire team and view all events associated with your routes. Accordingly, you can view logs when routes are planned or modified, when drivers mark destinations as “Arrived” and when they’re detected as arriving at destinations, when notes are added, and many other activities, all in one convenient location. Moreover, events can be filtered by different parameters, so you can effortlessly find any activity among thousands of logged actions at the touch of a button.
To capture as much actionable intelligence as possible, the Activity Feed records actions performed on the Route4Me business route planner software, iPhone Route Planner, and Android Route Planner. You can use the Activity Feed for auditing the performance of your team, generating reports, detecting fraudulent activities, checking the overall health of your business, and much more.
