Operations Matrix Overview

Once you’ve opened the preferred routes in the Operations Matrix, you can track their progress. The earliest route is displayed first, and the latest route is at the bottom.

Additionally, the percentage displayed next to each route indicates how many destinations have already been marked as “Arrived” or have been Detected as Visited by geofencing. These visited destinations are broken down into the percentage of destinations visited “On Time“, “Early“, and “Late” respectively.

The Operations Matrix displays route progress based on the set Destination Status on route addresses by drivers using Route4Me’s mobile apps. Additionally, the route origin, or depot, and any destinations visited out of the planned route sequence are marked with corresponding icons.

Furthermore, destinations in the Operations Matrix are color-coded. Each color corresponds to when a destination was Marked as Visited compared to the expected route schedule.

Red (Behind Schedule): The destination was Marked as Visited five minutes or more after the Planned Visit Time.
Gray (On Time): The destination was Marked as Visited within five minutes before or after the Planned Visit Time.
Green (Ahead of Schedule): The destination was Marked as Visited five minutes or more before the Planned Visit Time.

Filter And Sort Routes On The Operations Matrix

Just like other Route4Me interfaces, you can filter the routes displayed on the Operations Matrix. Simply click “Filter” and enable your preferred options to see routes only relevant to your needs.

You can also click the “Sort by” field to sort all displayed routes by the selected metric or data value. You can learn more about route data values in the Route Data Catalog.
