Mobile fat client

AMCS Mobile Fat is directly coupled with AMCS’s planning and optimization systems. Our planning and optimization systems are equipped with advanced automatic scheduling algorithms, which assist in handling a large number of variables and at the same time process large volumes of planning data quickly and accurately.

The core functionality AMCS Mobile Fat is the reception of route lists and order details from the planning system and the ability to send status messages back to the AMCS planning system as the stops on the route list are executed. These status messages make it possible to continuously re-calculate routes and inform customers about potential changes to the plan.

On top of the core functionalities comes a range of other functionalities which enable the user to fill out reports, take and access pictures, capture signatures, make scans, capture GPS traces, and much more.

AMCS Mobile Fat is built directly into the AMCS Fleet Planner planning system itself. Therefore, no integration is needed and the two system parts share the same data model. This means that AMCS Mobile Fat runs on a mobile device with (most likely an embedded) PC Windows operating system and if the central planning system is configured, this instantly applies to the mobile client as well.

This way the planner and the driver are using the same system. The only difference is that the application is presented in different ways, and the driver only has access to limited parts of the system.

The advantage is that the advanced functionality planning of a system can be used from the mobile device. Hence, the driver can (if allowed) for example have a local order bank; insert new orders in the route list; use sequence optimizations and the like. Moreover, the application has very strong capabilities within local integration to advanced vehicle equipment.
