WEB-BASED ROUTING

Telogis’ powerful ‘Software-as-a-Service’ (SaaS) multi-vehicle route-optimization application is said to provide greater routing efficiency and flexibility with new, patent-pending ‘Advanced Territories’ capabilities.

Telogis Inc. says it allows companies to give geographic-centric routes to drivers without limiting routing options to those boundaries.

“Other routing tools on the market require the customer to create hard-lined geographic borders that limit routes to being sequenced within those boundaries,” claims Newth Morris, president of Telogis Route. “This approach is very time-consuming, often requires an on-site expert, does not take into account dynamic variables such as holidays, business hours and customer requests, does not support frequency-based service visits and results in extremely inefficient routes. With Telogis Route 3.0 we’re able to loosen those geographic constraints to ensure the most intelligent and cost-efficient routing scenarios while also taking into account all of the other variables that drivers and customers encounter each day.”

Built off the extensive infrastructure of the Telogis Cloud, the new version is said to offer greater response speed and functionality than competitive route-optimization systems. Being web-based, Telogis Route 3.0 is easy to deploy across decentralized organizations without the added cost of new infrastructure, such as server hardware.

It’s offered as a subscription-based service, so users see an immediate return on investment. It requires no dedicated on-site personnel. 

The system allows users to track costs for created routes and even provides an ‘immediate feedback on costs’ feature that provides an instant evaluation of routes based on fixed and variable costs, fuel costs, labour costs, and other variables that affect the bottom line.

Telogis Route 3.0 supports various vehicle types and seamlessly integrates with the company’s GPS-based fleet-management system, its ‘Progression’ work-order management platform, and its mobile handheld application. The company claims it’s the industry’s only single-sourced platform for dynamic routing, real-time work-order management, telematics, and mobile integration.
