Principle
HARMONIE TRANSPORT by Rayonnance Technologies is an application base for smartphones, PDAs and Tablets for delivery tracking, designed for use by drivers-delivery personnel.
Rayonnance Technologies implements tracking applications operating on PDA Windows Mobile & Android, solving problems linked to information transmission on deliveries (receipt of delivery invoices by delivery personnel and confirmation of delivery completion).
Principle: Embedded applications operating in mixed connected/disconnected mode. Information is stored on the PDA in a database (a function that is important to the client/server), information can be consulted at any time, and is updated in on-line mode by synchronization. This synchronization can be done in 3G/4G, via Wifi or Ethernet (base).
These applications run on a mutual technical platform that is HARMONIE by Rayonnance. A large portion of the key technical modules of a mobility project, as such, has already been developed.
For each application, the ergonomics are specifically adapted and a connection to the IS of the shipping company is developed.

Social Data
As part of PDA projects, when clients wish to collect social data from the delivery vehicle, Rayonnance Technologies works in partnership with encasing manufacturers that connect to all market tachographs in order to build an all-inclusive "Delivery tracking/Social data/GPS" offer.
When this is the case, the PDAs are not communicating, and are connected via a serial cable to the fixed, central box of the vehicle that serves as a GPRS modem when the technician wishes to update information.
Geolocation


Rayonnance Technologies implements geolocation services for drivers/delivery personnel.
The geolocation of personnel can be achieved in the following ways:
– via PDA with GPS installed
(transmission sent every 5 minutes, precision of 50-100m)
– via GPS device
(up to tens of requests per day, precision of 20m)
2 consultation modes available:
– Rayonnance Technologies sets up a mapping tool available on line, and at any time, an authorized user can see where the searched technicians are located on the map.
Web technology, solution hosted by Rayonnance Technologies.
– Or on a Geographical Information System installed on the client’s device.
