Supplychain facing new challenges

Home meal delivery, sales force visits, press, medicines delivery, waste pickup… Hundreds of thousands professionnals spend all or part of daytime in their vehicles to deliver, prospect, troubleshoot, pickup or serve.
Nowadays routes planning and their execution become increasingly complicated due to:

  • Urban concentration (traffic, parking …)
  • Customer expectations (Time window, delivery frequency)
  • Competition (customer loyalty, cut costs, get new markets)
  • Environmental policy (CO2, tax…)

As an answer, services that are often inadequate

These heavy socio-economic trends significantly complicate needs in planning and route optimization.
To face these changes, new solutions and services must be created. Although the technology of such solutions are today mature, nowadays 80% of optimized vehicles fleet are planned manually because of high costs, rigidity, complexity of deployement and of the key account centric strategy of the software companies on the market.

Route Optimization for every professionnals !

Thanks to the relevance of our technological offer (ready to use SaaS software and our APIs) and the economic models associated with it, our ambition is to democratize the use of route optimization solutions.

From the silk road through the paths network leading to Rome, logistics efficiency (the right product or service at the right time and the right place) is often hand to hand with cartographic precision.
