Our Products

Route Factory solutions are customized routing software applications that help you efficiently plan, optimize, and dispatch transport routes, and monitor the status of the delivery fleet. Route Factory is a base starting platform for building highly customized solutions for small and medium sized commercial carriers and shipping companies. For each customer, we customize and extend the base platform to deliver the final product in a fraction of the time and cost compared to building the entire solution from the ground up.

Territory Builder is software used to divide large geographical regions into customer "territories". Each territory contains a group of customers that can be visited by a single transport in the most efficient way. Territory Builder is used by businesses that service a large number of dispersed locations such as in food and beverage delivery, restaurant supply, refuse collection, or fuel delivery.

Our Approach

Our goal is to deliver customized, high quality software that fits seamlessly in your environment. We use an Agile software development process to ensure that our software is delivered on time and budget. For Route Factory Solutions, we start from our base, highly customizable, platform that satisfies most common optimization and routing needs. Working with you, we extend this base platform to deliver a final product that accommodates all specific business rules and integration points to your internal systems. The entire process usually takes an average of 10 to 18 weeks. For other operations research based decision support systems, we customize the entire product to your specific requirements. As we work together, we share our expertise in both operations research and software development practices to ensure that the final product provides a reliable and efficient way to solve your business needs.

Support Options

Upon product delivery, we provide a variety of options for support of our solutions. We offer a choice of a complete support package where we monitor, support and enhance your system as your business changes, or, based on your capabilities we offer consulting services to your internal development staff to continue the further development and support of the system.
