The application manages vehicle routing, scheduling, optimization, tracking and mobile workforces. The third update of the suite this year, 3.6.3 includes a new Routing Activity Tool to track and analyze routing performance, the ability to automatically implement drive-time restrictions, and an iPhone version of the MobileCast Proof of Delivery (POD) app. The Routing Activity Tool analyzes how much time has elapsed, and how many moves a router has made, in a routing session.
