Take the stress out of your route planning

One driver, one van and one collection, delivery or service route. It’s about as straightforward as it can get. If anything goes wrong, from traffic and breakdowns to unexpected weather, all it takes is a single phone call to get things back on track. Scale that up to 10 drivers and things start to get more complicated. Keep scaling up and it becomes near impossible to track, plan and adapt your routes to meet the demands of your clients. That’s when route optimisation becomes essential and this needs software tailored to do the job. It needs RouteSmart.

What is RouteSmart?

RouteSmart refers to a suite of solutions that we at Integrated Skills designed to tackle the challenges facing industries from waste collection to utilities when it comes to route planning and optimisation. It includes RouteSmart for ArcGIS and RaaS (Routing as a Service).

What can RouteSmart for ArcGIS do for you?

Whether you have a city full of streets that need sweeping and washing, a borough of residents with recycling that needs collecting, or thousands of meters that need reading, RouteSmart for ArcGIS lets you create optimal strategic routes so you can meet the demands of your contracts.

But RouteSmart goes one step further, giving you the flexibility to create operational routes on-the-go in response to unexpected changes. You can also play out what-if scenarios to see how your fleet will cope using RouteSmart’s modelling feature.

All of this capability can be easily deployed on a PC on your premises, or on a externally hosted server. You can even automate elements of your route optimisation, freeing up more time for you to focus on your business. Whether it’s utilities route planning you’re after or any other route-dependent service, RouteSmart for ArcGIS makes it easy for you to put the most efficient routes in place.

What can RaaS do for you?

For complete peace of mind when dealing with low to medium density routes day-to-day, leave it to RaaS to optimise your operational routes on-the-go. This Cloud-based system can reduce man hours and distances travelled with dynamic routing, giving your bottom line a boost and helping you get a competitive edge.

Simply set your parameters, such as delivery time windows, start times and maximum driving hours, and let RaaS optimise your routes and balance the workload across your fleet.

RaaS is effective for small and large fleets alike, from 5 to 5000 vehicles, whether they are all of the same capacity and type, or whether your fleet comprises a diverse range of vehicles.
