Smart route planning in the trade: AREALCONTROL with AI

Digitalization and automation are no longer topics for the future. Today, they are decisive competitive factors for trade businesses and technical service providers. Arealcontrol GmbH, a specialist in telematics and scheduling solutions, now offers AI-supported route planning. Noticeable efficiency gains are achieved, especially for regularly recurring field service assignments such as maintenance, inspections or deliveries.

The solution is part of the modular telematics platform "All You Can Fleet ©" from Arealcontrol. The "PlanBoard" is available from the private cloud via the web portal. It was developed specifically for companies that are confronted with increasing deadline pressure, a shortage of skilled workers and growing demands on deployment management.

Particularly relevant for service-oriented trade businesses and service providers:

The system automatically generates recurring service assignments - time- and demand-controlled - and plans these in advance. Weekly or monthly routines can be fully automated - regardless of whether 5 or 200 vehicles are in use. The AI-supported optimization ensures efficiently compiled tours, minimized travel times and better utilization of personnel and vehicles. The completed route plans are sent to Android devices via the ArealPilot 360° app. A "multi-device logic" enables the parallel use of vehicle telematics and smartphones - for maximum transparency and controllability in day-to-day business. Technician teams receive their assignments digitally on their mobile device, including all relevant information and documentation functions.

If operational apps are already in use, the ArealPilot 360° app can be reduced to route planning and navigation. Android Auto can also be used, e.g. to show the navigation on the vehicle display.

Central functions at a glance:

* Automated route and tour planning for recurring jobs.
* GPS tracking, digital logbook, time recording
* Live data from OBD, FMS or CAN bus interfaces
* Integration of mobile devices for navigation, communication and documentation

All information is clearly displayed in the telematics portal. All deployment planning and documentation is done digitally. This reduces administrative effort, improves documentation for customers and increases service quality.

Conclusion: More efficiency, less stress

Arealcontrol's solution offers a real efficiency boost for trades and service companies that regularly provide customers with recurring services. Automated scheduling, transparent route planning and digital documentation relieve the burden on staff and ensure an overview - a clear advantage in times of increasing time and cost pressure in the technical services sector.

This allows companies to concentrate on the essentials: providing excellent service.
