Real-time information

Designed by Johannesburg-based start-up Retech South Africa, it updates the Retech Manager web-based Front Office with live detailed proof-of-delivery information, allowing logistic managers the ability to have improved control and visibility over deliveries or services. The company's Front Office gives logistics managers and supervisors detailed real-time information regarding the status of the routes and drivers under their supervision.

Retech Manager works in relationship with existing route planning software to compare real-time GPS data against planned routes, allowing companies to increase driver productivity and reduce costs. The key feature is that logistics managers are able to compare actual vs planned routes.
