ENAiKOON tour-checker

Do your vehicles regularly drive the same or similar routes?
Is it essential for you to complete these routes as planned?
Do you want to be able to check the exact completion of these routes and receive instant updates about any irregularities so that you can act on them?

Then you need the ENAiKOON tour-checker.

The following branches and applications are particularly suited to route monitoring using the ENAiKOON tour-checker:

Transporting of goods to multiple successive drop points: e.g. delivering vegetables from a wholesale market to all grocery stores in the region
Public transport: all buses travelling to all bus stops in a regular order
Facility management: cleaning services, winter road maintenance and street cleaning services that work to fixed timetables and at fixed locations
Security services that check various properties at defined intervals

Collecting the relevant tour data

The vehicles, such as delivery vans and street cleaning vehicles, are equipped with a built-in tracking module or box.
Workers, such as security workers, cleaners, carers and billposters, receive an RFID-capable mobile phone that they use to read an RFID tag at the locations at which they are deployed.

There are countless reasons for deviating from the planned tour:

A driver does not arrive on time to start the route
A vehicle is damaged
The vehicle wasn’t refuelled
Heavy traffic causes delays
A diversion results in a change to the planned route
Customer unloading takes longer than planned and delays further customer appointments
Too many passengers get on and off the bus so that it cannot continue to run to schedule and the delay increases
The route driver forgets that he or she should be driving a different route today
A driver has been assaulted or is ill or injured
etc.

The ENAiKOON tour-checker module provides you with an efficient tool that notifies you promptly if a route is not being completed as planned:

You can take immediate action if a tour starts to go wrong. You can see instantly when a shipment is not going to arrive at its destination on time without special measures.
You can see in real time whether your driver is completing a tour as planned or whether you need to skip certain destinations or entire control routes.
For cleaning crews and winter road maintenance services, etc., you can track in real time whether the individual locations are being serviced as required.
Even without an emergency call, you can see straight away if a driver or guard has been attacked or for any other reason cannot continue the route as planned.

The ENAiKOON tour-checker from the ENAiKOON fleet-control-web portal offers the following functions:

Definition of frequency for each tour

The months and days of the week when a route should take place are selected

You can stipulate the frequency of your tour as required

Definition of waypoints (destinations)

The tours lead past these waypoints, e.g. the warehouse, customers, the workshop, the petrol station, etc.
If destinations are far apart, it makes sense to define waypoints now and then so that delays can be quickly identified.

A geofence is set in order to define a so-called waypoint. This news article gives a detailed description of how this works.

The geofence must be set at a point where the box can easily send a position
The ENAiKOON default setting for sending positions is as follows:

every 5 km on straight routes
at every bend with an angle greater than 60 degrees

Other configurations are of course possible as required. Note that in the event of a high number of position reports, there may be increased data transfer costs.
If you have a large number of geofences that do not change over an extended period of time, it makes sense to add them to the box so that a position is always sent from these waypoints.

Tour planning

Afterwards, you can plan tours by defining vehicles or workers, starting times and destination sequences as well as their order, the planned time interval from destination to destination, and the maximum amount of deviation in terms of time for each destination.

Clear representation in real time of all tours and completed waypoints

The report clearly shows when a certain vehicle has arrived at a certain waypoint.
To see the defined waypoints only, select the "show designated positions only" check box.

What happens in the event of route deviations

You have one or more stored e-mail addresses. You have entered a time period within which the vehicle or worker must have reached the waypoint.

If this defined time has passed and the vehicle or the mobile worker has not arrived on time, then notifications are sent automatically to these email addresses.

Key benefits of the ENAiKOON tour-checker

You can identify tour deviations immediately.
You can take action accordingly, e.g. telephone the customer, assign a replacement vehicle, define a new route, etc.
You can learn from experience if the same deviations occur consistently on the same tours over an extended period of time, e.g. the planned bus route always gets stuck at 2:00 p.m. at the university canteen because more students than usual board the bus to go home.
You can incorporate such findings into your tour planning.

Customers are happier because goods arrive punctually at the appointed time
The dispatcher receives fewer enquiries
The driver is less stressed because the plan matches the traffic
You will certainly find more examples at your company
