Why Icon Map for Logistics?

Icon Map turns siloed supply‑chain data inside Power BI or Microsoft Fabric into location‑aware insight, delivering leaner operations, stronger resilience, and profitable growth.

Operational Visibility & Efficiency

Leverage real‑time geospatial visualization to monitor end‑to‑end flows, streamline dispatch, and cut dwell times.

Dynamic route optimization

Recalculate optimal road, rail, or sea legs in response to traffic, weather, or capacity constraints.

Predictive maintenance hotspots

Identify assets with rising failure risk and schedule works before breakdowns disrupt flow.

Yard & port heat‑maps

Highlight congestion and idle equipment to speed turnaround and maximize berth and dock utilization.

Live fleet & asset tracking

View vessels, trucks, rail wagons, and containers on a single map to reduce search time and demurrage.

Turnaround & dwell‑time dashboards

Surface variances against service‑level targets and focus teams on the highest‑impact delays.

See Your Distribution Network, Live in Icon Map

These are real Icon Map renders of a distribution network - three regional DCs, 120 stores, and their deliveries - built from nothing but ordinary tables. Every analysis below runs client-side in Power BI or Microsoft Fabric: the drive-time areas and road-following routes are computed in the browser on Icon Map's own routing engine, so your depot locations and delivery points are never sent to an external routing API.

Drive-time coverage areas at 10, 20 and 30 minutes around three distribution centres, with stores colored by their serving depot
Depot coverage in 10 / 20 / 30 minutes' driving. Nested drive-time areas computed over the real road network for each DC - motorway corridors stretch the reach, urban congestion pinches it. Stores are colored by their serving depot, so coverage gaps and misassignments stand out at a glance. Rendered live in Icon Map.
Flow map of depot-to-store volumes with tapered arrowed lines colored by depot
Depot-to-store flows. Line width carries weekly volume, tapering from depot to store with direction arrows - lane structure and volume imbalances in one view. Click a depot and every linked chart follows.
Hexbin map of delivery density colored by late-delivery rate, showing a red hotspot over central Birmingham
Late-delivery hotspots. Thousands of delivery points hexbinned and colored by lateness rate - the congestion hotspot glows red against an on-time network. Select hexes to cross-filter the depots, lanes, and KPI charts serving them.
Fleet snapshot with glowing road-following vehicle trails from three depots and arrow markers at each vehicle position
The fleet, mid-shift. Vehicle trails follow the actual road network with a heading arrow at each truck's latest position, colored by home depot. Connect a live feed (Eventhouse, GTFS-RT, or your telematics table) and this view plays in real time with animated playback and stale-fix fading. Rendered live in Icon Map.

Icon Map for Microsoft Fabric is in private preview - join the wait list to run these analyses on your own network data. The same map, chart, and cross-filter machinery is available today in Icon Map Pro for Power BI.

Renders use a synthetic West Midlands demonstration network; the drive-time, routing, and aggregation engines are the shipped product.
