FieldDirect vs Flashtrak Connect

Roger’s FieldDirect mobile trucker application provides real-time data and information shares that support trucker’s needs including; load logistics, route planning, coordination with dispatch, load assignments, freight invoicing for quick payment, route/map and other related shipment (load) progress, statuses and other communication needs. Below are some of the features that you should be aware of before installing and using this application. Shipments: Once you are part of FieldDirect, your shipper will assign you recurring or one-time shipments to haul grain from our producers’ farm fields during harvest. In order to provide you a better experience, we use device location data with your consent. Invoice: The app will allow you to invoice your shipper for all completed shipments. Real Time Navigation: By providing your consent to monitor your device’s location data when the application is running in foreground or background (which may dramatically reduce battery life), the app will offer you route navigation capabilities to complete your shipments between a farm field and elevator. The app will provide turn by turn direction. Data Privacy: We do not share your location data with outside parties. Apart from an active load, the shipper restricts location monitoring to our business hours. Killing the application will end any location monitoring. Logging out of the application also eliminates location monitoring and deletes the devices local data storage. This application does not include any ads. Background Data Sync: The app will sync all your data in the cloud with strong encryption and restores the data to the device you are logged into. The app will sync your data in the background without disturbing your user experience. Background Monitoring: Once the app starts, it runs quietly in the background. It will be stopped once the app is killed or you log out of the application. It also stops when there are no shipments after business hours. Monitoring Multiple Devices: We only monitor your current device and clear your location data from your previous logged in devices. No Internet Connection: The app will store all your information in your devices local storage with strong encryption and allows continuous use of the application to complete basic tasks.

FlashTrak Connect is a supply chain application offering more options for viewing shipment data. Shippers and receivers use the app to conveniently access information for shipments monitored by DeltaTrak data loggers. Shipment data may be retrieved by entering a trip number or FlashTrak Cloud Service account credentials, or by scanning the barcode of a DeltaTrak logger. Shippers: When perishable cargo is in transit, concerns about temperature, location, and other factors are prevalent. With FlashTrak Connect, shippers have the ability to quickly verify that a logger has been activated, and is reporting data. Shippers can also have peace of mind that the receiving customer will have an effortless way to access the trip data they need to accept the load. Receivers: When receivers have access to trip numbers, they can use FlashTrak Connect to quickly review in-transit shipment data and make accept/reject decisions ahead of time. Waiting time at the dock is minimized due to more efficient control of scheduling personnel for inspections, claims and any special handling needed upon arrival. As new shipments come in, FlashTrak Connect allows receiving personnel to determine whether in-transit temperature excursions have occurred – without leaving the receiving dock. Quick and convenient assessment of cargo disposition is crucial for decisive action. Bluetooth Sync: For BLE devices, the FlashTrak Connect app offers synchronization capability. The app allows users to scan for nearby BLE devices, which are then displayed showing trip number, device status, last reading, alarm status and remaining battery life. Users can then select a device from which to collect and upload data. If no shipment exists, one will be created. Users can also schedule automatic scans and uploads of BLE device data to occur at regular intervals, from 1 to 60 minutes apart. After each scan, a summary is displayed showing the number of devices found and uploaded, as well as the upcoming run time. Take Advantage of Mobile Phone and Tablet Functions: FlashTrak Connect works on mobile phones and tablets. Once shipment data has been retrieved, it can be easily forwarded to other stakeholders, by simply taking a screenshot and sending it via text or email.
