AutoMap: The Really Useful Way to Master Your Route Planning

As your business grows, so too does your list of clients – and how far away from your HQ they’re located. For businesses that operate a fleet of drivers – from delivery drivers to engineers – the distance to a client’s location can actually be quite important. In fact, optimising a driver’s route based on the day’s appointments can be hugely beneficial for saving time and fuel costs. With the AutoMap feature in AutoVu, this has never been easier. Let’s find out how it works.

Dynamic Route Planning made easy

Consider if you will a scenario in which your driver has to make twenty different drops to customers over an eight-hour period. With the help of a map app (or indeed a good old-fashioned hard-copy map), it’s possible to plan a route that will cover each of these in a way that makes sense. But this process isn’t exactly quick, and can cost valuable time that’s best spent on the road. AutoMap works by providing dynamic route planning based on existing customer data. At any time, a driver can use their smartphone to calculate the optimal route to one or more customers in just a few taps. It can all be done from one application – no fuss, no hassle, just pure streamlined route planning.

Powerful AutoVu integration

One of the best things about AutoMap is the fact that it’s totally integrated with the rest of AutoVu. What does this mean in action? Well, AutoMap is able to calculate routes based on the exact order of your team’s appointment diary. So rather than your staff needing to manually calculate which order their visits should be carried out in, the system does it all for them in a matter of seconds. Pretty smart, eh? If this isn’t your cup of tea, route optimisation can be turned off at any time so you can compare and contrast routes and pick whichever works better for you. AutoMap will even include your Home address as the final stop of the day, giving your driver a sense of progression and peace of mind.

AutoMap: The route to real success

AutoMap is designed to work seamlessly with any edition of AutoVu. It’ll tap into the existing customer address data in the system and use that to plan routes, meaning drivers will never need to fiddle around with addresses when they’d rather be driving. AutoMap has been designed from the ground up to create big savings in terms of both money and fuel costs – your fleet will be more efficient than ever in every possible way!
