New Interactive Game from Omnitracs Showcases Role of Technology in Vehicle Routing

As the driver of a delivery truck, players are challenged to find the most efficient route to deliver products across the city without running out of gas. Players guide their truck through the streets while strategically picking paths to avoid obstacles, construction and weather delays. After the player has completed the route, their path is compared to the ideal route, or the “Roadnet Recommended Route.”

Omnitracs Roadnet Anywhere is a SaaS platform combining routing, dispatching, telematics, proof of delivery and analytics in order to help fleets execute efficient and effective deliveries. Roadnet Anywhere encompasses traditional daily routing and dispatching tools, but also incorporates real-time and historical data elements as well as telematics and domain-specific analytics to provide 360 degrees of data on every element of a delivery, service, or sales call.

“Customers count on deliveries to arrive on time. Today, this is no easy feat to accomplish, taking into consideration changing customer needs, time sensitivities, capacity restraints, driver preferences, and historical and real-time data flows such as traffic and navigation,” said Jim Gardner, vice president of marketing. “Route Race is an entertaining way to illuminate the many constraints drivers face, as well as the products Omnitracs offers to improve overall fleet efficiency.”
