Integration of telematics data with dispatch workflows

Purpose

1.1. Automate ingestion of real-time telematics (GPS, fuel, maintenance, speed) into dispatch management systems for butane gas fleet.
1.2. Automator synchronizes live vehicle data to optimize route assignments, predict delays, trigger preventative maintenance, and streamline compliance logging.
1.3. Automating manual status updates, reduces dispatcher workload, increases delivery accuracy, and enhances regulatory reporting.
1.4. Automation includes exception alerting for deviations, automated job assignments, and integration of telemetry with ERP and customer notification workflows.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automatedly triggered on new telematics data received (position, fault code, fuel event).
2.2. Dispatch workflow automates on scheduled delivery assignment or customer request.
2.3. Threshold-based triggers—route deviation, late ETA, excessive idling, geofence breach, or maintenance alert—initiate automator actions.
