Call Us: Transportation Mapping Software
Whether you’re moving goods as part of a supply chain, or delivering products to customers, creating effective transportation strategies is one of the most critical components of a successful business. Use Maptive’s transportation mapping software to optimize routes, select sites for depots, spot inefficiencies, and more.
What is Transportation Mapping Software?
In order to create an effective transportation network, you need to visualize it. Transportation management software allows you to plot key locations, such as suppliers, depots, store locations, customers, and more on an interactive map.
With these points marked, use route planning tools, drive time radii, demographic insights, and customer mapping to build a plan that will let you reach and exceed your goals.
What Can You Do with Transportation Mapping Software?
Transportation mapping software has a number of different applications when it comes to logistics. Here are a few of the ways it benefits your business:
Optimize Your Delivery Routes
Longer driving times mean more fuel burned and higher maintenance costs. Use routing software to find the fastest and most efficient routes between all your stops so your vehicles spend less time on the road. Not only will this allow you to service more customers, but it will also reduce your fuel costs, labor, and the wear and tear on your fleet.
Site Selection
A strategically placed depot will help you reach a greater number of customers. It also makes things easier for your fleet managers and delivery drivers. Utilize drive time radii to see which locations are within driving distance of your site, and use demographic insights and customer mapping to determine whether the market is suitable for your business.
- Build a Better Supply Chain: Find vendors that are near your business locations by utilizing drive time radii and determine the best routes to build the perfect supply chain.
- Manage Your Performance: Compare your actual travel times with the expected times generated by your transportation mapping software. Use this information to identify inefficiencies and boost your performance.
- Map Customer Satisfaction: Plot your customers on your map and grade their satisfaction levels. See where your satisfaction is the lowest to improve your customer service and build better transportation operations.
