Pulse isn’t the same as every other handheld device on the market today. It is a bespoke piece of software designed to be installed and set up to meet every individual need and requirement based on how your company operates.

Pulse provides the opportunity for your company to sprint ahead of competitors in terms of assisting you to build high levels of customer service and maximising the full potential of your drivers and fleet.

Do you really know what’s going on out there?

MobileCast^® is a piece of software that manages real-time dispatch and tracking and gives you the ability to communicate between dispatchers and drivers.

MobileCast^® reports on differences between planned and actual routes and stops.

It automatically warns you if there is a difference between where your vehicles are and where they should be and, if something happens which shouldn’t, you’ll know about it. You can manage by exception. If everything is running according to plan, there is nothing to worry about.

The live screens will show you where your vehicles are in real time and warn you of late running or other exceptions. The reports show the difference between routes planned and routes actually driven and compare planned with actual mileage. It enables you to improve route plans by adjusting drop times or vehicle speeds when route planning and can clearly identify any malpractice.

You can buy a new system, or you can adapt an existing system. At 121 Systems, we supply MobileCast^® Handheld which is where the data comparisons come from. However, if you already have a tracking system, you can use the data from this, combined with routes planned in Roadnet^® or routes planned in an existing routing and scheduling system. So, if you already have a simpler routing, scheduling, tracking or handheld software system, there is no need to replace it to gain the benefits of MobileCast^®.

It gives a clear view of what is actually happening here and now.

The Roadnet^® Transportation Suite also has a range of web service interfaces that, in a nutshell, allow you to use the Suite as a seamlessly integrated application.

This is what it can do.

Do you feel you’re firefighting, rather than being in control?

Roadnet^® reduces transport costs by calculating methods of getting to your customers at times specified by you. It will tell you which of your vehicles to use to service which customer, at what time and in which order. Roadnet^® allows you to route and schedule your orders quickly and efficiently and will transform any business currently managing this process manually.

Roadnet^® is one of a number of modular components within the Roadnet^® Transportation Suite. With information stored centrally, data is shared between modules and as business requirements grow or change allows additional modules to be added [at a] later stage if required.

As a single module Roadnet^® calculates effective route plans using digital map data incorporating vehicle height and weight restrictions together with historical road speed information, resulting in better use of resources to meet demand by delivering more and driving less.

As a management tool it helps you understand how delivery costs affect profitability by knowing the actual cost per stop, and your own planners will spend significantly less time configuring routes.

Obviously, it gives you all the essential reports, such as carbon emissions, driver manifests, maps, cost breakdowns, and more.

We would expect your business to benefit by a significant reduction in miles driven, in the number of vehicles used and in management time. Effectively planning routes for your vehicle fleet reduces emissions and therefore your carbon footprint. You will see improvement in driver management, have more time to plan for contingencies and more importantly improve your customer service.
