• Uses Existing Customer Data. Direct Route reads your customer addresses and creates route maps and driving directions for you – no need to re-enter customer information to develop routes or type in addresses to create local route maps.
• Provides Detailed Route Maps, Directions. Print detailed route maps and address-level driving directions for your crews (without having to include skips or old services).

• Incorporates Drive Time and Service Time. Direct Route incorporates drive time and service time in your routing for you. The system shows you the number of crews, hours and miles needed to complete current work rather than having to use guesswork.
• Saves money. Service companies typically experience savings of 8%-20% in miles and hours needed over previous results.
