Netgraf®
Visualize the Entire Status of Your Fleet
What is Netgraf®?
The complete suite of software solutions from IDSC interfaces with Netgraf®, a powerful geographical information system. Netgraf graphically displays complex business data making it easy to analyze historical lane flow, real-time power and load data, real-time fuel networks, fuel purchase information, real-time out-of-route information, capacity & demand balance, and more. Netgraf graphically charts your fleet operations on a map of North America using real-time, historical or hypothetical data. This visualization is essential to understanding the complexities of the network.

How does it work?
The underlying mapping engine comes from ESRI, a leading mapping and geographic information system company. “GIS technology provides the framework for a shared spatial data infrastructure and a distributed architecture. Geographic data can be gathered and organized to support the generation of information products that are integrated into the business strategy of your organization. GIS technology illustrates relationships, connections, and patterns that are not necessarily obvious in any one data set, enabling organizations to make better decisions based on all relevant factors.”

How will Netgraf increase revenue and decrease cost?
Netgraf makes it easy to share data within your organization—greatly improving productivity. Use Netgraf to query, analyze, and map data in support of the decision making process. Information can be presented succinctly and clearly in the form of a map and accompanying report, allowing decision makers to focus on the real issues rather than trying to understand the data. Because Netgraf maps can be produced quickly, multiple scenarios can be evaluated efficiently and effectively.

Cost efficiencies are realized with the enhanced ability to:

  • Visualize the status of your fleet in real-time
  • Locate trailers
  • Identify swap opportunities
  • View customer status and arrival/departure events
  • Analyze historical lane flow
  • Evaluate fuel networks
  • Analyze real-time power and load data
  • Display fuel purchase data
  • View out-of-route trucks
  • View geo-fence violations



  • What are some of the unique functionality features of Netgraf?
    Netgraf integrates with the complete IDSC decision support suite of software including Netwise Enterprise®, Netwise Frontline®, Netwise Supply Chain®, Match AdviceTM, Expert Fuel® and Trip AlertTM. Netgraf is easy to use, yet powerful enough to display business data refreshed on monthly, weekly, daily, or even on a real-time basis. Features Include: color-coding to indicate activity level, filters to screen out irrelevant data, pop-up windows for drill down information display, zoom in/zoom out to focus on a local area, queries to support data mining, and more.

    Use Netgraf as your command control center. Netgraf’s user-friendly design allows users to click from one IDSC program to another, showcasing all maps displayed on the same screen.
