Transition Without Disruption: Roadnet → FarEye

Customer expectations, multi‑carrier networks, and real‑time visibility have reshaped delivery. A decade ago, issuing drivers a mobile app felt radical. Today, running an on‑prem routing stack feels the same way.
 If you’re on Roadnet, it can seem like you’re choosing between:

1. staying on a shrinking on‑prem footprint which has an end of life, or
2. taking a disruptive, expensive leap to new modules, without a guaranteed ROI.

There’s a third way: migrate to FarEye’s SaaS-native delivery orchestration platform, without the drama.

Roadnet has long supported route and territory planning, often in on‑prem deployments. FarEye was built in the cloud from day one to orchestrate the entire last mile: advanced route optimization, driver apps and PoD, rate‑based carrier allocation, appointment windows at checkout, customer communications, real‑time visibility, exceptions, and analytics.
 That means fewer moving parts, faster change cycles, and capabilities that keep pace with your customers.

1. Discovery & data import
   We ingest your Roadnet exports (customers, depots, service times, windows, constraints, historical stops), plus master data from ERP/WMS/PoS.
2. Parallel-run sandbox (your real data)
   We spin up a live FarEye environment so you can plan territories, auto‑route, and simulate dispatch using your actual constraints.
3. A/B route comparison & value report
   Compare baseline vs FarEye: miles, time, capacity utilization, first‑attempt success, SLA adherence, CO₂ proxy. Get the deltas before you commit.
4. Integration & workflow mapping
   Connect FarEye via open APIs to ERP/WMS/PoS/telematics (e.g., orders, inventory availability, driver master, events, proof artifacts).
5. Role‑based training & change management
   Short tracks for planners, dispatch, drivers, and CX teams; SSO, MDM, and audit settings configured.
6. Go‑live & hypercare
   Start with one region or line of business, then roll. Hypercare ensures KPIs lock in.

1) Ease of use (for planners and operators)

Replace binder codes and brittle workflows with a modern UX. Upload current plans, set constraints, and generate optimal routes and territories in minutes. Adjust by hand without losing efficiency. The same platform turns territories into executable daily routes—no swivel‑chair between tools.

2) Speed (at cloud scale)

FarEye’s cloud optimization finishes in seconds to minutes—even for large territories with tight windows, skills, service‑time rules, and traffic data. You can reroute as often as reality changes and A/B test scenarios before committing, so you’re always running the most efficient plan.

3) Migration made simple (no consultant parade)

A proven migration playbook, Roadnet export templates, and an open API cut time and risk. Most teams stand up a working environment in weeks, not quarters. Your data flows; your workflows map; your users get up to speed fast.

4) End‑to‑end orchestration (future‑proof by design)

Go beyond routing:

• Rate‑based routing & carrier selection across parcel/LTL/bulky.
• Appointment windows at checkout that reflect real capacity.
• Driver app + PoD with photos, barcodes, signatures.
• Customer comms (ETAs, rescheduling, feedback).
• Control tower visibility and analytics for cost, OTIF, and first‑attempt success.

• Territories/Regions → FarEye Service Areas with capacity rules and skills
• Routes/Route Templates → Route Plans and Scheduling Policies
• Service Windows & Times → SLAs and Time‑Window Constraints
• Stop Attributes (e.g., liftgate, two‑man) → Job Skills/Equipment Tags
• Driver Rules (hours, breaks, geos) → Compliance & Resource Constraints
• Historic Stops → Demand Models for forecasting and planning quality

How long does migration take?
Typical first‑region go‑live is measured in weeks. Parallel runs de‑risk cutover and provide clear KPI deltas.

Do we lose territory planning?
No. You retain territory planning and gain scenario testing, capacity modeling, and one‑click conversion to daily routes.

Can we keep our telematics and ERPs?
Yes. FarEye integrates with common ERPs/WMS/PoS and telematics. We map your current interfaces and events 1:1 (or better).

What about PoD and customer communications?
Included. Drivers capture photos, barcodes, notes, and signatures in the app; customers receive proactive ETAs and rescheduling options.

Will our data be secure?
FarEye supports enterprise security standards with SSO, role‑based access, audit trails, data retention controls, and mobile governance (MDM). (We’ll share documentation during evaluation.)
