As the busy season picks up, keep routing software up to date and your equipment in tiptop shape. No one wants to be the PRO who doesn't know where they're going, or whose equipment breaks down. Stay ahead with these Product Focus picks.
PRO Software Solutions Routing Module
PRO Software Solutions’ Routing Module is based on up-to-date technology and utilizes Google Maps. This means every time Google is updated, so are all the routes. Additionally, it makes it easy to create live route/map overlays from the customizable dashboard. As a result, a dispatcher can see driver activity in real time. The program can optimize routes based on individual requirements with the click of a button. It offers the flexibility to set driver capabilities with custom user permissions, allowing drivers to update location pins in hard-to-reach sites. 800-858-0344; www.prosoftware.app
Ritam Technologies Summit Smart Mapping
Ritam Technologies offers Smart Mapping in its Summit Route Management and Summit Rental System software. Previously, maps displayed optimized routes for efficiency and route assignments. Summit now allows the user to display a route or single address on the map and then drag any pin to a new position, while the program updates its references automatically. In addition, for any location pin, the user can assign a new route and day instantly. The Dynamic route monitoring screen allows the user to see technicians’ current locations and the status of each job on each color-coded route as unvisited, arrived, completed, issue or incomplete. 800-662-8471; www.ritam.com
