Why Can't My Routing System Do What Syntelic Does?

1. Can your Routing System import onboard computer data?

Routing systems are good for automating route planning using their own data. They aren’t typically designed to manage data from other systems. Syntelic loves data from multiple sources. The more data the better. Syntelic features direct interfaces with all the major routing systems including Appian, Descartes, Manugistics, Mcleod, and Roadnet. Likewise, Syntelic uses the telemetric data generated by on board computers (OBCs) from companies such as Cadec, Qualcomm, Peoplenet, and Xata. Syntelic merges planned routes with OBC data to give you one view of both data streams. It acts as the hub for all your data and is a flexible workspace that facilitates planning and decision-making.

2. How does your routing system present plan vs. actual data?

Roadnet’s past president described Syntelic as “Plan Vs. Actual on steroids.” Syntelic fully integrates data from your routing system , OBCs, and driver and equipment databases —all the data you need for deep analytics. Syntelic provides transportation intelligence. It offers powerful tools , calculations, and interactive views you can use to make your routes more profitable. You can drill down on any data point or roll up to summary views, filter on data ranges, and look for exceptions and trends. Switch instantly from plan to actual performance for any driver, any route, any delivery stop. As you do this you’ll have questions. Is this variance between my route plan and my route performance different between drivers? If so, why? Syntelic is your command and control dashboard for examining route profitability that you can then use to go back to your routing system and make changes.
