EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS

The essential challenge for various types of fleets associated with increased costs is the one of identifying the optimal routes passing one or several points. Researchers demonstrated that optimized routes can lead to a significant cost reduction ranging up to 20–30%.

Sygic Professional Navigation provides high-quality maps that take into account truck restrictions and time domains for delivery. After your pre-set the attributes for your vehicles, the routing algorithm will automatically avoid all roads unsuitable for trucks, special cargoes, freight drivers, or hazardous materials. These features enable you to make sure your drivers do not waste time and resources trying to navigate back from an unsuitable route or, in a worse case, hit a low bridge during their shifts. Also, Sygic Professional Navigation includes real-time traffic and predictive routing features that can help re-routing vehicles to avoid time- and fuel-wasting delays. Moreover, real-time traffic information helps to adjust the route as the trip progresses to make sure that every minute spent on the road is used most efficiently. Additionally, we provide a full offline GPS functionality that makes sure your drivers can rely on it even in the areas with weak or no mobile reception access. It also enables you save additional costs associated with purchasing data plans for your drivers.
