Use cases

Use Route calculation to plan efficient routes from any starting location - address, point of interest, or GPS coordinates. Calculate the best path to multiple destinations, accounting for different vehicle types, including cars, trucks, and pedestrians. Customize your routes with avoidances like tolls, ferries, and tunnels. Input vehicle dimensions to ensure your route is navigable. Get real-time traffic updates or estimate future conditions. Provide turn-by-turn directions for a seamless customer and driver experience. Streamline logistics, reduce costs, and deliver superior service.

Use waypoint sequencing to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem and calculate the optimal route to multiple destinations. Improve business efficiency by minimizing time and distance traveled by vehicles. For example, a grocery delivery business can fulfill more orders in less time, ensure fresh food, and reduce fuel costs and emissions. Real-time traffic and vehicle constraints further enhance the route optimization, resulting in more sustainable and cost-effective business operations.

Optimize your transportation and logistics operations with Matrix Routing and Waypoint Sequencing. Identify the fastest route from your warehouses to each customer using matrix routing. Then, sequence multiple delivery stops to minimize travel time and distance. Maximize the number of orders you can complete, while reducing fuel costs and emissions.

Use Matrix Routing to quickly identify the nearest available taxi or rideshare vehicle for your customers. Then, calculate the optimal route for each driver, factoring in real-time traffic and road conditions. This ensures the closest vehicle reaches the customer efficiently, driving both customer satisfaction and business productivity. Make more trips, save on fuel costs, and deliver a superior service experience.

Use Snap-to-road to align GPS traces to roads to visualize vehicle movements and fleet operations. Fleet managers can see if vehicles are staying on planned routes and identify deviations. Verify that drivers are following guidelines, spot inefficiencies, and ensure compliance with regulations. Corrects GPS inaccuracies and variations, and presents a realistic view of vehicle activity. Enable better decision-making around route optimization, driver behavior, and fleet management.
