Activity Stream – Real-Time Activity Tracking on iOS Route Planner

Route4Me’s iPhone Route Planner is designed to make your routing operations and transactions as fast and flexible as possible, allowing you to effortlessly plan, optimize, and navigate routes of any complexity on the go. The Activity Stream on your Route4Me iPhone app is an interactive analytics and log auditing tool that allows you to view all activities performed by you and the associated team members on your routes. The Activity Stream can show you when new stops were inserted into your routes, when your route addresses were marked as “Visited” and “Departed,” when notes were attached to destinations, and many other relevant events all accessible in one convenient space. Moreover, all events are logged into the Activity Stream in near real-time. Thus, field employees and managers can frictionlessly collaborate on the same routes and synchronize all updates in near real-time for maximum efficiency and mobility. For example, route planners at the office can insert new stops into the routes that have already started and the drivers assigned to these routes will be able to check all updates in the Activity Stream right away and act accordingly.

To view the Activity Stream of a particular route, first, open this route to make it the current route/active route. To do so, go to “Routes” from the navigation menu and then tap to open the route that you want to check.

After opening the preferred route, go to “More” from the navigation menu and then select “Activity Feed” from the menu.

The Activity Stream shows all activities performed on the opened route by the assigned users and their account owner in chronological order (learn more about Route4Me’s User Hierarchy). Thus, for example, the manager can add new stops into the route and the driver can mark stops as “Visited” and “Departed” and both users will be able to see each other’s actions in the Activity Stream.

To view which stop on the opened route is associated with a particular event in the Activity Stream, tap on this event and the associated route stop will open automatically.

The Activity Stream can also show what Route4Me platform was used for performing each activity (Route4Me Web Platform (learn more), Route4Me iPhone Route Planner, or Route4Me Android Route Planner (learn more)).
