Foxtrot Systems learns a customer's location based on driver clicks. The speed and accuracy of that learning depend on the quality of the clicks. Ideally, the driver should click after making the delivery, while parked, and in front of the customer. Clicks made while the vehicle is moving do not contribute to learning, because GPS data is most useful when it reflects the actual POS location.
If we have already received the latitude and longitude information for the POS from your company's system, we will display it on the Route Analyzer map. However, we will only use that information to optimize routes after the POS reaches a 75% confidence level in Foxtrot Systems (this threshold may vary based on your company's configuration).
Before Foxtrot Systems has a reliable location for a POS, it uses multiple driver clicks to learn where that POS should be marked. The algorithm also learns patterns for each driver to improve automatic inference over time. In some cases, this may take three or four clicks; in others, it may take twenty or more, depending on where the clicks were made.
If the POS location changes, the algorithm will detect the new location as drivers begin clicking there.
