The application uses advanced graphing – including a timeline and map tree – to view historical performance trends. Insight's cloud-based technology is compat- ible with the on-premise and Software-as-a- Service solutions that integrate with Roadnet's suite of products. Roadnet supports and maintains the operations data, data warehouse and user interface of Insight, which alleviates the need for transportation companies to piece together a business intelligence solution of their own, the company said. "For customers, Insight reduces the burden of sifting through and interpreting complex data by filling in the missing link between analytics and operational applications and presenting data in a manner that is easier to consume," said Kevin Haugh, Roadnet vice president and general manager. Insight can be used across computers, tablets and smartphones and is available for Roadnet Transportation Suite customers and Roadnet Anywhere subscribers. Roadnet Telematics has been updated to expand its integration with Roadnet's routing, dispatching, proof-of-delivery and Insight analytics solutions. By integrating telemat- ics more closely into the broader platform, customers are able to achieve new levels of visibility and assess and make adjustments to their fleets more dynamically. Roadnet Anywhere Tracking is a Web- based workforce tracking application that offers "always-on" visibility into drivers' workdays and real-time location through GPS positioning. It requires no additional hardware and can be installed across a broad range of smartphones and tablets to monitor for speeding, extra miles or unplanned stops. Also, Omnitracs subsidiary XRS Corp., announced an integration with SpeedGauge, a driver safety data provider.
