US GPS tracking and fleet management solutions supplier 8518 Teletrac Navman has announced a partnership with 3264 PTV Group which will see its Director workflow solution combined with PTV’s Smartour trip optimisation system to provide route planning and optimisation for fleet managers.

The integration through Teletrac Navman's open API offers carriers a single interface to optimise the list of stops drivers need to complete in a given time period, taking into account vehicle dimensions, load capacity, road restrictions, hazardous materials and other configurations that may affect the route.

Dispatchers receive real-time updates, including vehicle location, speed and mileage and are able to drill down into overall trip duration, handling and driver time and stops completed to measure against their goals. For drivers, the integration not only provides turn by turn directions, but also eliminates the need for paper invoices and proof of delivery.
