​Transport execution is not simple, requires a bright mind and experience. However even for the best it is at times a real challenge to keep up to date about everything that is happening on the road and react in real time.

We know that an isolated transport status by itself is not sufficient to support your routines. Therefore, we created the Fleet Monitor – a real time visibility layer on your transport plan, focused on your trucks!

Understand in real time how current delays might impact your future transports.
​Create, allocate and analyze your transports faster.

What does the fleet monitor do?

The Fleet Monitor provides an overview of all transports that have been allocated to the trucks you own or you supervise (subcontracted trucks) on a time line.
!Attention! supervised trucks are only accessible if added to a dispatching group.

Fleet Monitor provides guidance on the transports that require your attention:

  1. Transports that are displayed in red are delayed.

  2. Transports that have a yellow warning sign cannot be tracked properly. As soon as the computer mouse touches the sign, the problem will be explained in more detail. Alternatively by clicking on the transport all transport details can be viewed on the right.

  3. The vehicle status information is displayed next to the license plate name with a traffic light:

    • green = Visibility Hub received recent position updates for this vehicle.

    • red = The last position update that Visibility Hub received is older than 30 minutes.

    • grey = Visibility Hub hasn't yet received any position updates from this vehicle. Please get in touch with your GPS provider.

    2. You can also delete the group by selecting the trash bin on the lower right corner of the menu.

4. Share your transport status

✨ Transports you received via Visibility Hub platform and were not added by you will be shared with your customer (= the creator of the transport) automatically upon vehicle allocation. However, the transports you have created newly are only visible to you by default. You decide if you want to share the status information + truck position and with whom.
