2.1.1. What is Mapotempo Live?¶

Mapotempo Live is a mobile application which assists you in working out routes for deliveries, collections, sales representatives, couriers etc. It may be linked to Mapotempo Web, which includes the vehicle settings, addresses to visit and optimized routes. An API, Mapotempo Fleet, is available so that you can use Mapotempo Live with a proprietary interface.

An Android smartphone or tablet is linked to each vehicle. There is a route corresponding to each vehicle. The route is sent to the Android smartphone or tablet and thus becomes a list of missions.

Missions include configurable status which can be transmitted to Mapotempo Web to allow advanced mission monitoring. The Mapotempo Fleet API allows that feedback of information.

2.1.2. Who is Mapotempo Live designed for?¶

Mapotempo Web is designed for anyone whose business requires planning of more or less extensive routes with visits or stopovers occurring more or less regularly. Mapotempo allows anyone travelling by heavy goods vehicle, light vehicle, motorbike, cycle or on foot to travel their delivery, collection, visit or appointment routes in an optimal amount of time, while still abiding by business-specific constraints.

Mapotempo Live gathers the list of missions configured within routes. Mapotempo Live enables the forwarding of assignment information, such as the recipient’s telephone number so they can be called, or the sending of direct messages. On-board personnel/drivers/delivery personnel can thus communicate directly with the recipient at the simple click of a button. It sends back mission status updates as the mission unfolds. Those status updates can be configured and customized.

2.11.4. Feedback to Mapotempo Web¶

2.11.4.1. On the page Plan¶

Mapotempo Live feeds back each mission status to Mapotempo Web Fig. 2.66

Fig. 2.66 Status list.

Thus each mission is accompanied by a colored square according to status:

• Blue : Scheduled

• Yellow : Started

• Green : Finished

• Red : Rejected

• Grey : Any status

You can activate stops according to their status.

Filters are available according to the status being fed back. By default, “Any status” does not appear on the list. Fig. 2.67

Fig. 2.67 Status filter.

For example, you can filter stops with “rejected” status. Only stops with a red label will then be active. By contrast, all stops with any other status will be deactivated. In other words, those stops are unchecked and not taken into account in the route.

Through this option it is therefore possible to modify the allocation of stops for each vehicle in real time and relaunch optimization. If vehicle A becomes available at the end of its route, it is possible to assign an unscheduled route to it from another vehicle B.
