Getting Started with the Logistics iOS Mobile App

Learn about the general features of the Logistics iOS Mobile App.

The Cognosos logistics location system provides a state-of-the-art end to end solution to give instant visibility to automobiles across your yard. With no limit to the lot size or number of yards, instantly locate any vehicle by user defined attributes (e.g., make, model, year, or color), automatically generate inventory reports, and monitor entry/exit gates for theft prevention. 

Use the Logistics Mobile App to: 

  • Locate any vehicle, including driving and walking directions to vehicle

  • Sort vehicles by user defined attributes including make, model, year

  • Ensure proper and timely logistics workflow with On-Spot reporting

  • Subscribe to zones, vehicles to receive instant notifications 

  • Alert key staff when vehicles are in exit zones

  • Manage vehicle tasks and move through task lifecycle

  • View zonal capacity and current inventory 

  • Track vehicle movements and zone transitions 

  • Monitor tag status (battery health, temperature)

  • Signal tags to flash to easily spot vehicles on the lot/in the facility 

The app opens to the Home screen, which is a map of the facility, displaying vehicle clusters. Use standard iOS mobile actions to zoom in/out.
