Smart routes, less cost

The smart planning of your route should take into account as many parameters as possible. The more parameters you configure, the more accurate the truck navigation can calculate its route and indicate the estimated time of arrival. What data should be considered?

  • Current traffic information
  • Size and weight of the truck
  • Toll roads
  • ADR information
  • Corridoring (definition of traffic corridors) and geofencing (definition of marked geographical areas

The smarter you plan your route, the more economical your fuel consumption and the more time you save. This is an important step in developing a lean, efficient operation.

Another perceived benefit is that rather than simply displaying addresses, the new Trimble navigation system identifies the destination down to the nearest metre. On some of the large and complex sites we deliver to, this represents a major benefit that saves a lot of time and consequently money.
