Automated Truck Tracking

Filed under: Success Stories — Marcus Tettmar @ 3:43 pm

The following was just posted over in the “Tell us how Macro Scheduler helps you, what you use it for.” forum thread:

We currently use it for two primary applications. One is to pull returning truck information out of a fleet management dispatch application for a produce brokerage company and dumping that information into a webpage for remote salespeople to use to find out where available empty trucks are located.

Secondly we use it to track trucks by integrating our dispatch application with google latitude. This automates what is called the Check Call process where a trucker would normally have to be contacted by phone. Now the script simply queries their latitude information and plugs that information into our dispatching application.

How do you benefit from using Macro Scheduler?
