The optional Reveal Series offers users transportation-specific data models and visualization tools. By using these tools with Appian FinalMile solutions, users can analyze metrics including route profitability, route planning efficiency and driver performance and use the metrics to assess a variety of hypothetical scenarios. Appian FinalMile solutions include DirectRoute routing and scheduling optimization software as well as DRTrack fleet tracking and reporting.
“TMW Reveal Series brings the power of big data analytics to fleets looking for ways to dramatically increase the efficiency and competitiveness of their final mile operations,” said Brian Larwig, vice president and general manager, TMW Systems. “These new tools enable users to generate actionable intelligence critical not only to how they operate their businesses today, but also to enhance their competitive position in the years ahead.”
TMW Reveal Series is designed to provide a comprehensive business intelligence resource for fleets, supporting data from leading transportation management systems, mobile communications platforms, asset maintenance solutions and other sources. Fleet professionals can analyze “what if” scenarios to determine financial, service level, and other likely implications of new operational practices and competitive strategies. Results are presented through data visualizations, dashboards, scorecards, and multi-layer thematic maps.
“Reveal Series was developed by and for transportation industry professionals to serve as a single ‘source of truth' for fleets and other businesses active within the final mile market,” said Larwig. “Users can reduce multiple, often outdated and contradictory reports and sources that add unnecessary time, complexity and uncertainty to the planning process.”
