An effective kilometre-saving route planner, ideally at the press of a button and without demanding or complicated hardware or software: Today this is an indispensible tool for freight forwarders such as intra-company on-site transporters or express services such as courier drivers.

After all - the demands faced by schedulers, vehicle fleet managers or drivers are immense: deliver the goods to the customer on time, avoid every unnecessary kilometre, adhere to driving breaks and rest periods plus immediately and effectively respond to changing circumstances such as tailbacks, bad weather conditions or additional customer requests.

map&guide base helps you here to concentrate on your real tasks. This professional, uncomplicated and effective route planner can help you save a huge amount of everyday problems and hassle - which you can clearly do without in your job.

Are you - as a professional logistician - familar with the following problems?

• As soon as you've bought a navigation system, you immediately notice that it doesn't recognise the new motorway junction in your area as it was only opened 6 months ago.
• You want to send the route details to your driver's mobile phone but the route planner takes ages to perform the calculation - and now the system has crashed as well!
• Your 40-ton tractor unit is stuck in a dead-end - either the route planner or navigation system provided the driver with incorrect instructions because the systems are unable to differentiate between postal address N14 and area N14 of your main customer's site.
• Maintaining your customer data and address data takes a lot of valuable time and effort - you have to type in the address of every stop-off point for each new route or run regardless of whether you are using an online route planner or navigation software on your Pocket PC.
• Although some of your main customers are located along near the driver's route, you still have to painstakingly search for each customer 's postcode individually - how much more convenient would it be if you could locate customers on a map display at a glance?
• You're trying to work out whether it's worthwhile to calculate a route around a built-up area for your delivery vans and you have to painstakingly enter various options for three different routes and calculate them one by one. However if you then decide to send your 40-ton lorry, you have to start your calculations from scratch - plus you've now got to account for toll roads.

If you want to avoid these problems in future then map&guide base is exactly the right system for you.

map&guide base offers components that you can purchase individually and use according to your requirements - customised, for example, for your vehicle fleet, your frequent routes or your customer structure.
