TMW adds Points of Interest to FinalMile T MW, a provider of transportation and lo- gistics soware, business intelligence and related products, announced a new feature for FinalMile DRTrack, a fleet tracking and reporting tool that works with DirectRoute. e new Points of Interest feature is designed to enable users to identify and save physical locations not associated with a map address. With POI, users will be able to add locations when addresses are not available, such as a home in a new construction neighborhood. POI also is useful when directions are given instead of an address, such as "the destination is 2.3 miles past the intersection." "e Points of Interest feature will be especially beneficial for the construction transportation sector, because their drivers are frequently making deliveries to ad- dresses that don't exist yet," said Brian Larwig, vice president and general manager of TMW FinalMile. "e application enables dispatchers to drop a pin on a map, and that location will be saved as a Point of Interest for future routing and deliver- ies to that new location." e POI feature, according to TMW, also allows users to: • Update the coordinates for multiple unloaded orders at the same time; • Use longitude and latitude to fine-tune a location; and • Give a unique name to each POI and save it in a library. – Aaron Huff The Points of Interest feature for TMW's FinalMile DRTrack is designed to save locations not associated with a map address. MobileDemand debuts mobile dimensioning M obileDemand debuted its mobile dimension- ing system across its rugged tablet product line. By integrating Intel's 3D-based RealSense Depth Camera D415 with its tablets, the company said it now can provide businesses in the transportation, supply chain management, logistics, shipping and warehouse industries with the ability to quickly, automatically and accurately acquire dimensions and calculate volumes and dimensional weights of boxes and pallets. MobileDemand said that by using its tablets, customers can maintain their mobility and scan boxes and pallets anywhere, doing away with the need to trans- port them to a fixed-location dimensioning platform and simplifying operations, reducing costs and saving time. Because MobileDemand's rugged tablets are Windows-based, customers can use the soware of their choice to complete their volume-dimensioning needs. Once a box or pallet has been scanned, the measurements can be en- tered automatically into the customer's soware application, and dimensional weight will be calculated. MobileDemand's rugged tablets include small, mid-sized and larger screen sizes with an array of features and functionality. – Aaron Huff Customers can scan boxes and pallets anywhere without transporting them to a fixed-location dimen- sioning platform.
