Aliso Viejo, Calif. based provider of local intelligence solutions Telogis, Inc. has announced the launch of Telogis (News - Alert) Route, the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for multi-vehicle optimization and planning.

Telogis Route is an application that has routing and dispatching functionality from Telogis GeoBase and Telogis Fleet bundled together. While Telogis GeoBase is an   enterprise geospatial platform, Telogis Fleet is an enterprise mobility platform.

Telogis Route also incorporates relevant constraints and cost factors to optimize fleet schedules. Business rules such as delivery windows, driver skill set and specialty vehicle equipment are modeled along with costing factors such as fuel economy, driver rate and job revenue to calculate optimal schedules. Automation through Telogis Route allows customers to save up to 20 percent on operational costs over manual route planning.

Much more affordable that legacy client-server solutions, the cloud-based Telogis Route ensures greater ROI. The SaaS (News - Alert) model also enables large, distributed companies to deploy the solution across a number of locations.

Because Telogis Route is built on the same platform as Telogis Mobile and Telogis Fleet, companies can plan a workday in Telogis Route, transmit the plan to Telogis Mobile and track progress in Telogis Fleet.

"Routing is a critical piece of the mobility 'triple-play'," said Newth Morris, president of Telogis' Telogis Route Division. "Fleet scheduling, mobile communications and telematics are the three critical elements of a comprehensive fleet management solution. Together, they enable companies to dramatically streamline their operations, reducing expenditure while simultaneously improving efficiency and customer satisfaction. With these new enhancements, Telogis Route continues Telogis' leadership in this field."

Since it was established in 2001, Telogis has been enhancing the value of its customers' businesses through intelligent integration of location technology, information and services.
