Facts from the truck, not from the report
Mileage comes from the odometer, not from a note. The gap between plan and actual shows on every trip.
What the system takes from telematics
- Current vehicle state. Where it is, moving or standing, when the last signal arrived. Stale data is flagged separately — "no signal" is information too.
- Actual mileage from the odometer. The daily rollup is kept longer than raw positions, so mileage history does not disappear after three months.
- Track history. Where the vehicle was in a given time window — for when a disputed trip needs settling.
Orders reach the tablet
The route can be sent straight to the driver navigation — no retyping addresses from a phone, no hunting for a stop by description.
Statuses come back into the order: the dispatcher sees that the driver accepted the trip and where they are now, without a phone call.
Why this is not just a dot on a map
Every GPS provider gives you a dot on a map. The difference here is that the dot is tied to an order: the system knows which trip the vehicle is running, and splits mileage into "on orders" and "off orders".
That is where the real cost of a trip comes from, rather than a fleet average.
