RouteSmart for ArcGIS is the World’s leading route optimisation software that ensures organisations keeps up with the demands of an ever changing operating environment. With the capability to manually adjust geospatial data, such as mail box positions, service times, route lengths, as well as the underlying travel network, RouteSmart for ArcGIS is ideal for tactical planning. Through the macro language provided with the software, many of the processes can be automated enabling clients to automatically insert deliveries and/or collections onto pre-planned routes. RouteSmart for ArcGIS can be deployed in a desktop environment, a virtualised infrastructure or externally hosted.

Routing-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a SaaS only deployment that exposes the optimisation algorithms used in RouteSmart for ArcGIS. Based in the Cloud, these algorithms are accessed by web services using standard APIs. RaaS is used to automatically manage a variety of lower density route optimisation requirements at high volume. Examples include:

Changes to daily postal rounds:

• Insert/delete new deliveries/collections
• Update existing routes
• Provide detailed, navigable route and sequence information
• Split routes to account for real world issues, such as absenteeism, that results in routes have to be combined

Dynamic routing of parcel deliveries/collections:

• Create brand new routes based on demand
• Balance daily workload across existing resource
• Create delivery order sequence
• Handle service with critical delivery times
• Save time planning routes
• Re-order current plans due to changes in the field
• Insert and sequence last minute orders
