Thankfully, we are well past the days of using push pins and strings to plot customers and routes on a map. With the latest generation of geographical data, companies are able to utilize detailed street networks, landmarks, road attributes, directions, and other useful information for planning effective routes from a computer.

And, the trend of adding information to geographic databases does not seem to be slowing.  Companies such as Google, Tele Atlas, Navteq, and others are amassing even more data using fleets of vans armed with sophisticated camera, video, GPS, elevation, and geographic data-capturing equipment.

Appian’s Direct Route automated fleet routing and DRTrack GPS software help companies make use of this detailed road network data and create more efficient route plans.  Address-level mapping, road-network editing, GPS tracking, and street-level views help companies to incorporate more accurate geographical data, road speeds, and drive times into their route planning.

The ability to quickly adjust regional driving rates for inclement weather, block street segments, and edit individual road speeds help companies even further refine their route plans, generate more accurate drive times, and avoid problem areas.
