Marker topic pipeline upgrades to support Geoflex for Sysco

Updated over 2 weeks ago

This release extends the Sygma-to-EROAD marker topic integration to support Sysco’s Geoflex system, improving geofence accuracy, auto-arrival detection, and reducing manual dispatcher input.

Enhancement: Bidirectional Geofence Sync

The following enhancements were completed to support bidirectional geofence sync.

  • Sync from Geoflex to EROAD 360 (LMCI-29): Geofence updates made in Geoflex to appear in 360 so that delivery tracking reflects the latest geofence adjustments required for auto-arrival accuracy.

  • Sync from EROAD 360 to Geoflex (LMCI-1): Geofence edits made in 360 to be reflected in Geoflex so that future deliveries benefit from improved geofence accuracy.

  • Existing Geofence Matching (LMCI-2): Shape handling. Geoflex can only send circle updates, so 360 must convert the geofence shape to a circle if it was previously a polygon.

Marker and Geofence Updates

  • Support for the following attributes updated in 360 via Marker Topic (LMCI-2):

    • Name

    • Shape

    • Geofence type

    • Radius

  • Radius Logic (LMCI-42):
Defaults to 250 feet if radius value provided is null, zero, or negative; otherwise uses the provided value.

  • Title Deduplication Fix (LMCI-17):
Resolved duplication of marker ID in geofence titles.

General Upgrades

To support these enhancements for the Geoflex integration, we also:

  • Expanded automated test coverage for sync behavior.

  • Refactored backend components for improved stability and maintainability.
