PTV cloud-based transport route planner

PTV has unveiled what it claims is a major new innovation: map& guide internet, the first cloud-based transport route planner. Hauliers and logistics companies may now use the map&guide software as a service (SaaS). They can simply plug in and use the software directly over the Internet - saving time and money, since neither installation nor maintenance is required. PTV says the inexpensive solution, costing just €49 (US$65) per month, is particularly attractive for small and medium-sized businesses.

3264 PTV has unveiled what it claims is a major new innovation: map& guide internet, the first cloud-based transport route planner. Hauliers and logistics companies may now use the map&guide software as a service (SaaS). They can simply plug in and use the software directly over the Internet - saving time and money, since neither installation nor maintenance is required. PTV says the inexpensive solution, costing just €49 (US$65) per month, is particularly attractive for small and medium-sized businesses.

PTV states that by deploying map&guide internet, the cloud computing solution of PTV's transport route planner, transport schedulers save time and money they would have to spend on work that has nothing to do with their core business, such as purchase costs and maintenance of the software and IT administration. This means, updates are taken care of and the memory required can be extended. In a nutshell, PTV says it opens up possibilities far beyond the capacity of users' computers or computer centres. All they need now is a workstation and Internet access.

PTV invites potential users to test the software at %$Linker: External 0 0 0 www.mapandguide.com/en/test-internet false http://www.mapandguide.com/en/test-internet false false%>.
