Navichain’s Run Management feature provides a structured framework for planning and executing transportation activities. A “Run” represents a scheduled activity, such as a shipment delivery or service operation, involving specific assets (trucks, trailers, equipment), assigned drivers or teams, and a defined timeframe.
Key components of the Run Management feature include:
- Run Definition: Users can define Runs, specifying the involved assets, assigned personnel, and planned start and end times.
- Route Assignment: Integration with the Navichain transport module allows for route assignment to each Run, enabling route optimization and real-time tracking.
- Resource Allocation: The feature facilitates the allocation of necessary resources (vehicles, drivers, equipment) to specific Runs.
- Real-time Tracking (via Run Control app): Integration with the Run Control mobile app provides real-time visibility into the progress of each Run, including driver location, event confirmations (pickups, deliveries), and any reported exceptions.
- Data Capture (via Run Control app): Drivers can use the Run Control app to capture data related to the Run, such as timestamps for events, comments, photos, and proof of delivery signatures.
- Integration with other modules: Runs are integrated with other navichain modules, allowing for seamless data flow and comprehensive management of transportation operations.
