Routing Software
Discover how routing software can provide new efficiencies & optimize your delivery networks, field service, ecommerce & territory planning.
How do we define routing?
Routing is the process of finding the fastest or shortest routes between start and end locations considering a series of different constraints. Using routing software you can optimize the order of stops, specify stop time windows and avoid congestion or roadworks. Used regularly in Supply Chain Optimization and Territory Management, it is a key component of Location Intelligence.

As well as gaining turn by turn directions, you can also specify by mode of transport to see differences in routing for pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles - depending on your use case.
