I'm pleased to announce that Odyssey Plus, our range of transport management and mobility add-ons, was officially launched at the Smart conference last month.
Traditionally, Odyssey is used to optimise the schedules and the corresponding runsheets are printed out and given to the drivers; then, the drivers leave the loading bay and enter the “black hole”. You think you know what they’re doing, as they have a schedule to follow, but do they really do the work as specified? You might also ask them to make a note of their arrival and departure times at each customer and to get a signature, but are those

details filled in at the time, or via a vague memory sometime later in the day? And what do you then do with the information that is manually recorded on the runsheets - throw it away, store it in piles, or manually key the data into another system?
Odyssey Plus, powered by Fleet Management Systems, is designed to eliminate this black hole by providing electronic recording and transfer of runsheet information via hand-held devices. This allows you to monitor actual versus planned very easily and also gives you real-time visibility, if that’s what you desire.
Transit Odyssey creates the plan and Odyssey Plus enables you to track how you are going in relation to that plan, via GPS tracking, event and alert management, proof of delivery and product tracking.
