Transport tracking & route planning

Transport tracking information can be easily optimised with business SMS messaging. Real-time journey information - including fuel consumption, driving speeds, and vehicle location, as well as employee work time – can enable businesses to make informed decisions about driver performance, customer service and efficient routing. Instant SMS alerts can also be implemented in route planning situations, when heavy traffic jams or accidents occur.

By integrating SMS into transport tracking and route planning processes, companies can benefit from a ubiquitous, easy-to-use solution to communicate time-critical logistics and routing information in a reliable and timely manner.

Companies implementing transport tracking and route planning can also create a 2-way SMS interaction channel with drivers and employees, enabling them to input updated routing information or even to send emergency alerts in case of accidents.

Transport tracking can also be implemented for consumers willing to find out exact arrival times of public transportation systems such as buses and trains. Consumers can simply send a request via inbound SMS with the bus or train code in order to receive the exact arrival time to their mobile. This helps consumers to better plan their journeys in case they know that their bus is very late or is not coming at all, for example.

In combination with logistics status updates, logistics businesses, enterprises, emergency and public transport services can easily provide time-critical business SMS alerts for corporate users as well as for consumers.
