Telematics Route Snapshot – Routes From Connected Telematics Systems

Route4Me’s Telematics Route Snapshot provides an overview of routes planned in your connected telematics system. These vendor routes are imported as drafts, allowing you to review locations, sequence, and timing details before creating a route in Route4Me. You can then use these routes for recurring route planning or dynamic route planning, with the flexibility to either preserve the original plan or optimize it for improved efficiency.

You first need to access a Telematics Route Snapshot. Select “Settings” > “Organization Settings” from the Navigation Menu.  From the Organization Settings Page, click “Connections” to view your list of Telematics Connections.

Route Import Options – Import As Master Route Or Dynamic Route

You can import routes directly from your connected telematics system. Imported routes reflect the original planning in your telematics platform, including the start location, all destinations, the visit sequence, and associated location details.

You can choose if you want to preserve the route exactly as planned or optimize it through Route4Me for improved efficiency. You can also choose how the route should be used in Route4Me, either as a Master Route or as a Dynamic Route.

NOTE: Vendor routes must be imported before you can use them in Route4Me.

If you import the route as a Master Route, it will automatically appear in your list of Recurring Routes. You can use it as is or adjust as needed to create a Recurring Route schedule. NOTE: Learn more about managing Master Routes.

If you import the route as a Dynamic Route, it will automatically appear in your Routes List. You can plan the route as is or make adjustments and optimize the route as needed. NOTE: Learn more about managing Dynamic Routes.
