Telematics Trip Snapshot – View and Manage Vendor Trips

Route4Me’s Telematics Trip Snapshot provides detailed data from trips recorded in your connected telematics system. Vendor trips capture the actual movement of a vehicle or driver, from engine start to engine shutdown or extended stops at a location. You can review each trip’s destinations, timing, and sequence, then convert it into a route for recurring route planning or dynamic route planning while either preserving the original plan or optimizing it for efficiency.

Vendor Trip Import Options – Import As Master Route Or Dynamic Route

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

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

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

If you import the trip 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 trip 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.
