An important functionality of smartview® is the excursion management, as the application not only documents the event excursion, but also enables you to investigate and process an the excursion.
As soon as an event excursion is identified, smartview will send out notification messages to pre-defined recipients and it is important that the excursion is evaluated, acknowledged and eventually closed.
A user can view all the historical excursions reported against a Shipment or a Sector. Further on it is possible for a user to note down the Root Cause and Action taken for an event excursion.
This helps users to identify the most frequent causes and the user can define preventive action for identified causes. It is also possible for the users to acknowledge an Event Excursion so that the system stops sending a notification message for an excursion. After acknowledging an excursion, the user can close the excursion to indicate the proper handling of the situation.
