If you have more than a couple of vehicles servicing a market, you already know that it’s difficult to plan efficient routes. Efficient routes are a must for any company. They also enable better customer service.

There are many ways companies route their vehicles. Sometimes groups of drivers decide which customers they are going to service. Some operations assign route optimization duties to a dispatcher. Expensive third party programs are another option.

FleetTraks GPS fleet management provides companies with many tools to help with route management. FleetTraks most recent upgrade helps with Route Optimization. FleetTraks now provides the ability to overlay the routes that up to 10 different vehicles traveled.

This new functionality enables management to see the big picture. Crisscrossing history is now visible. Supervisors now have the information available to make the operational changes for future routing decisions. Eliminating crisscrossing reduces fuel costs, and vehicle wear and tear. It also increases employee productivity.

There is no additional charge for the Route Optimization feature for FleetTraks customers.

Using the route optimization software is effortless for the FleetTraks user.
