RedPrairie has partnered with software provider Telogis to integrate location monitoring into its transportation and fleet applications.
The embedded solution will provide RedPrairie customers on a global basis with more robust map rendering capabilities for more efficient routing and transportation management, the company says.
The capabilities will streamline driving routes and decrease time and fuel wasting practices and traffic-clogged routes, it’s claimed.
Telogis’ GeoBase geospatial platform is an enterprise software component that provides critical location functionality to enterprise software packages. In addition to the core functions of mapping, routing and geocoding, GeoBase provides unique methods that enable real-time routing and scheduling.
Newth Morris, President of Telogis’ GeoBase Group, says the company is excited by the new relationship.
“RedPrairie’s sophisticated solutions will make a great showcase for the power and flexibility of the GeoBase platform,” he says.
“The Telogis partnership is another step in our strategy to help our customers create more efficient routing and mapping strategies, helping them be more efficient and reduce the environmental impact of their supply chain.”
RedPrairie CEO Mike Mayoras says the system will help companies reduce distance travelled in their fleet, resulting in time and fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
“Telogis is a leader in its field and is recognised as one of the fastest-growing software companies in America,” he says.
The 2008 release of RedPrairie Transportation Management and Fleet Management software will include the option for the Telogis software built in to the RedPrairie solutions.
